Due to Fungi’s efforts in planting a starfish location, he offered up his spot as today’s Q. at the County. YHC and Airplane both accepted the challenge, which presented a challenge in and of itself. We agreed on an old-fashioned best of three game of rock, paper, scissors.
We both came prepared with smack-talking pre blasts declaring our respective imminent victory. Despite the math suggesting there was only an 11.1% chance that I would win in the first two throws, I called my shot in the pre blast. It was time to put up or shut up.
05:28 Ro-sham-bo Showdown:
Throw one: Crock Pot threw paper and Airplane threw rock.
Throw two: Crock Pot threw rock and Airplane threw scissors.
Flawless victory.
I queued up DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win, Win, Win, No Matter What” while Airplane shook his head in disgust. After about 8 seconds of the song (which is all I can handle, he sings that hook 4,000,000 times it seems) it was apparent Airplane and I were only entertaining ourselves. We had our fun. It was 5:30, so it was time to work.
Disclaimer
YHC is not a professional, nor has he received any certification or training. Everything Q says is merely a suggestion. You as a PAX are here voluntarily on your own free will. This will likely be a high intensity exercise, so if you have any medical condition or physical limitation, you should consider not participating or modifying. You are encouraged to modify everything as necessary according to your ability, disability, injury, fitness level, etc.
Warm Up:
Mosey the short way to the front parking lot.
Airplane did punishment burpees as the PAX began the following:
Side Straddle Hops (IC): x15
Slooooow Grass Grabbers (IC): x10
Stay down, hold left ankle: 8 count
Stay down, hold right ankle: 8 count
Kendra Newman forward: 8 count

Imperial Walker (IC): x10
Toy Soldier (IC): x10
Side Straddle Hops 1.5x speed (IC): x15
Mosey to pick up one coupon per PAX. Mosey with coupon to the southwest parking island. Partner up.
Thang 1:
As YHC was explaining both Thangs, an invitation was given. YHC invited the PAX to self-appoint as a leader today. This isn’t mandatory, but it is an opportunity. Here’s what that leadership entails:
PAX shall proceed with the Greta workout as prescribed to the cones. At that point, the self-appointed leader shall drop their coupons and bear crawl an extra 5 parking spaces and back to their respective coupons. The leader shall resume the coupon work and return to their partner.
It’s completely optional, and PAX were instructed that no extra credit would be given.
Greta Round 1
Partner 1 overhead carries their coupon 10 parking spots down and back, while Partner 2 works toward:
100 Man makers
200 Bench press
300 Coupon swings
In an effort to manage the clock, YHC called a halt to Greta 1 after all teams had a few rounds of coupon swings.
Thang 2: Greta Round 2
Partner 1 farmer carries both coupons 10 parking spots down and back, while Partner 2 works toward:
200 Plank jacks
400 Planked shoulder taps
We ran out of time, thus we returned coupons and headed to the flag.
NakedMan Moleskin: At any given time during the workout, Q expected to see a minimum of one HIM doing the bear crawl leg of the workout. Almost every PAX member chose themselves to do the extra credit at least a time or two. Several PAX chose the extra credit every single time. Woof!
NakedMan Moleskin 2: Unbeknownst to me, Airplane came ready to play the song “Loser” by Beck (had he won the Roshambo). Despite this not coming to pass, Airplane did throw down a solid playlist of accompanying rock tunes while we were hammering out the coupon work. I’m thankful for a relationship with a guy that I can joke on and who will undoubtedly have my back anyway. It’s mutual. Second F on display.
COT:
CoR/NoR
Announcements- We need to HC for the August Ruck event by Tuesday. Bring school supply donations to me at any of the County workouts and I’ll get them to Nino.
Message- Isaiah is one of the Bible’s prophets. It’s a great book. Even though it’s a large book, it’s particularly good in the fact that it ties the Old and New Testaments together. In Isaiah Chapter 6, he sees a vision of the Lord, in amazing glory, up on a throne. After seeing this, Isaiah 6:8 says, “And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, Here I am! Send me.”
Isaiah had no hesitation in responding to the call. What’s crazier is that the commission he received from the Lord was hard. It would be an uphill battle, the whole time dealing with difficult people. When Isaiah asked how long the task would last, he received an answer that would dishearten most. Isaiah would preach, teach, and prophecy to unresponsive, unappreciative, and uncooperative people until destruction came.
Today YHC asked for a self-appointed leader. However, there were some major differences. We knew the worst possible duration, we knew the exact scope of the task, and we knew the relative difficulty. Not every challenge that comes your way will be that cut and dried.
There is always a task waiting to be accomplished, people waiting to be impacted, and missions ready to be served. Right now the Lord is asking whom shall he send…
Will you say “Send me”?
Intentions- Some unspoken intentions were raised, we also asked for safety, wisdom, and protection over all the children, staff, and teachers as another school year kicks off.
We closed in prayer, asking for the opportunity to be put in front of us so that we have the ability to respond “send me.”
Until next meal,
Crock Pot
