Mark Klement

THE SCENE:  Gloomis Maximus – Men in the gloom but not of the gloom.  Men in the gloom but not gloomy.  Men in the dark but filled with inner light.

WOD = The Mark Klement:

https://wodwell.com/wod/mark-klement/

For Time: 74, 44, 11 reps of Burpees, Merkins, Big-boys, Squats

Parking lot stall progression will be our rep station markers. Thus over the course of the workout we’ll progress over twelve spots. Take your CMU to each stall as your placeholder & marker of which reps you are doing.  The Stalls are:

  1. 74 Burpees
  2. 74 Merkins
  3. 74 Bigboys
  4. 74 Squats
  5. 44 Burpees
  6. 44 Merkins
  7. 44 Bigboys
  8. 44 Squats
  9. 11 Burpees
  10. 11 Merkins
  11. 11 Bigboys
  12. 11 Squats.

Be sure to hit your name on the iPad timer (Ultimate Stopwatch app) to record your time.

Little side note: Haste makes waste.  In my pre-coffee brain I wrote 77 instead of 74 on the pavement, so we did 77 reps on the first 4 rounds…. ha oops. Sorry.  That’s what you get for getting me up this early.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Background: This Hero WOD is dedicated to KHK Mark Klement of the Frankfurt (Germany) Police, who was killed in the line of duty on the night of July 7, 2019.

At the time of his death, KHK Klement and his team were attempting to locate and arrest a number of wanted suspects. During a short foot chase on nearby railroad tracks, KHK Klement was struck by a freight train and killed.

The “Mark Klement” Hero WOD was first posted by CrossFit Muehlheim-Main @crossfitmuehlheimmain (Mühlheim am Main, Germany).

Jens Hoppe designed the workout. The rep scheme signifies the year when Mark was born (74), his age when he died (44), and the age of his daughter (11).

Hebrews: 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Cherish the day – cherish each breath. Run the race! Press on!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
John 14: 6-8 Thomas was doubting about where to go.  Jesus responds that he is the way, truth, and life, no one comes to the Father except through Him.  In this time of Covid, political climate, racism, or fill int he blank, we need to seek Jesus to find our way.  He is the way and we need to seek him.

Thinking about signing up to Q? You should!!! If you haven’t Q’ed get with anyone who has and we will be more than willing to walk alongside you and help you prepare, even Co-Q with you to get your feet wet. My first Q would have taken a long time to happen without a push from Judge Judy at JUCO and the support of a few others and it was a great experience. It is a low-risk way to develop/sharpen your leadership skills with a ton of support from your F3 brothers. 

Stone , Steel & Silence

THE SCENE: Couldn’t ask for a better 56 degrees Gloom beatdown weather.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: Find the Silence

How will you hear if you don’t listen. How can you listen if you don’t sit still.  How can you sit still if you are moving and doing a bunch of stuff.  Today MAKE time to sit still and listen to the Lord.  He’s a whisperer.  Put your cell phone to the side. Turn off the music. Turn off every digital thing you have.  Find the quiet.  Go get the quiet.  I’m often times over caffenated — which causes over anxiousness — which causes over stress and unrest.  This bleeds into everything. Dont’ do this.  Instead, stop the nervous hemorrhaging.  Be Still – Know that God is there . Take hold of his gentle voice.  Know that peace and quiet is his specialty.  In contrast this world and everything in it wants to spin you like a top into a dizzying pace — it always has a million things to offer and busy you with.  Don’t fall for it.  Pace yourself, slow down, gain back your sanity.   Listen in the silence.  He will light your way.

18 HIMs
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Kyle Korver is an 18 year veteran of the NBA.  He wrote an article entitled ‘Privileged’ back in April of 2019.  The article tells of his relationships with his fellow players and talks of his thoughts concerning the Privilege he has because he is white.  The privilege is described as the ability to opt-in or opt-out when it comes to things related with Black Lives Matter.  I appreciated reading it.  Kyle Korver – Privilege.
