THE THANG: Mosey to the rock. Do 18 merkins and 18 squats while enjoying the view and the 93F weather. Mosey on to the bottom of Pickett’s Charge and battle buddy up. Buddies alternate running the 3 hills (first 1, then 2, then all 3) of Pickett’s doing nickel, dime, quarter squats, while the other alternates between Merkins and Squats until failure
Mosey up to the Coliseum and do 9s at top and bottom, alternating between dips and American Hammers on a 4-count. Mosey back to the AO for 1-minute of LBCs.
COT: It’s never too late to change in life. Your current situation is not set in stone, and you don’t know what God’s plans are for you.

But for change to happen, you need to accept life has different seasons. You need to let go of what holds you back and step into the new. Trust in God and let him guide you forward.

Quantification

AO: asylum-pm
Q: CRISPR (David Smelser)
PAX: CRISPR (David Smelser), Ghost Flag (F3Knoxville), Steam, Pele (Jon Lindberg), Pusher, Swimmies (Nathan Chesney), Doubtfire (Nick Bond), Brick (Chris Tittle), Lilydipper (John Neece), Curveball P (Dave Purcell), Dung Beetle (Scott Kimsey), Guppy (Ben Myhre), Sparkler (Brian Pitstick), Drum Major (Mike Johnston), Glamper, Squirtle (Jason Trammell), Title IX (Christian Prescott), Tri-Delt

COUNT: 17
Staying in the shade, sort of. Some battle buddy AMRAP rows, press, tricep extensions, squats, curls with alternating runs. Then some merkin, dips, calf raise mix. Finally some core work.

Be careful about quantification. Boiling anything down to a simple number can remove some much of the nuances of life. If you’re going to use metrics and data, know when you’re doing it, and always be mindful that it’s never as simple of a single number. And also, research has shown the more you measure by metrics alone the more likely people conduct unethical behavior.

YHC caught some grief since the stadium lights were not turned on, a gate was locked, and the track did not have stripes. Even though these difficulties were overcome, any further complaints should be directed in writing to Knox Co Schools.

A team sand bag toss for distance competition between Big Ball and Asylum PM was the Ghost Flag tiebreaker.

MARY: no time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Welcome Crash DR from Louisville.

Ghost Flag returns to Asylum PM.
Ruck from The Quacken to Big Ball next Saturday 8/26

COT:
Proverbs 16:1-3 are my theme verses for The Quacken this year.

The LORD knows my motivation and how I can either be on the campaign trail to get guys to come to the Quacken and not really care about them and be more concerned with my own agenda OR I can be discouraged and think this is not worth doing, too hard, etc.

Scripture is a way to correct both of these harmful ways of thinking. It says to me “Continue to work hard! Remember that it is not all about you!”

Prov 16:3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.

COT: Joshua 1:9 “… your Heavenly Father is always with you”. This weekend is about connecting 2.0s & earthly fathers. We as dads are charged from God to lead and guide our families. Part of that guidance is to set an example by fostering our own relationship with God as well as encouraging and directing our family toward knowing God and His Will.
