We then divided into three groups to hit the following three stations where we budgeted about 10 minutes per station.

LOG PT
Review the approach and the positions (Ready, right shoulder, left shoulder, waist, chest, sitting, overhead)
2 groups w 2 logs
1st group carries log out and around the float and 2nd group stays on beach doing log workouts. When 1st group returns they do log workout and 2nd group carries around float. This is the workout pattern.

Bucket Challenge Relay
divide into two teams, that worked out to two teams of four. One man carried a 5 gallon bucket full of water from the lake to a 45 gallon trash can. Only one team member could carry at a time. While he was carrying, two members held a 5 gallon bucket full of water while the 4th member did waterlogged merkins. They ran a relay in this fashion until the trash can was full.

After the relay was won or lost, we got into the water and did a race to the buoys. And finally did some Big Boy situps and some carolina dry docks where you had to dunk your face underwater to perform the exercise.

We moseyed back to the volleyball pit for some old fashioned tug of war. This was with the team you rotated with, and no shoes and gloves in deep sand left no advantage, and was quite fun.

The Mary consisted of an ab exercise of 10 reps, followed by 10 merkins. We did about 5 rounds of this before going back to the lake and do an out and back race to the buoys and back. Time was called and we got into the COT.

The COT was about being vulnerable. Working out in the “nude” with no gloves, no shirt, and no shoes leaves you exposed. I issued a challenge to the men of F3 Knoxville to be vulnerable and share times of vulnerability with the group. Sharing these types of stories endear ourselves to one another, and my experiences could help others going through similar situations. I then shared about a dark time in my life where I lost two jobs in one year, but how in hindsight that was one of the best things to ever happen to me. We then closed in prayer and ate a great breakfast provided by the Dog Pound (Google, I-beam, & Smoky).

What an interesting life, to be a Leader

THE THANG:
Due to the rain, we met under the PAV-A-LON and did most of the workout there. Tabata style, mixture of arms, legs, and Abs, a bit Spirit-led. When the rain let up for a bit, we moseyed to the parking lot for some more spirit-led activities at the four corners, making sure to get our fronts and backs wet (hand release merkins and LBCs). Back to the PAV-A-LON to finish out the Tabata workout.
MARY: Wall sits until time.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Backblast Ap, F3 in the Nude a week from Saturday, 2nd F at Abacus’s that same day, FORGE coming up late September. Prayers for the Macon PAX and the family of our brother that fell there this week.
COT: Showed a Coach K video from the show The Bear that talks about leadership. Unfortunately , the video was too soft to hear, but the takeaways were as follows: 1. Success requires you to CHANGE YOUR LIMITS. NOT EASY!!
 Expect there to be bumps in the road. Failure.
 Don’t accept that Failure as your final destination. Change and adapt and get back at it.
 There’s definitely a fear factor here.

2. TEAMWORK. You can’t do it by yourself. Surround yourself with people that will help you succeed, not drag you back.
 Don’t confuse criticism (designed to help you improve) with negativity (holding you back)

3. LISTEN. Don’t just talk. CONVERSE
 Collaborate to find solutions. Not only will you be able to draw on others for ideas, but when you ask for and incorporate their advice, they become more invested too.

4. What an interesting life to be a leader. EMBRACE IT.
