Introduction

????  Pre-Blast – Complex Boot Camp ????

Friday 2/24/23

5:15am

Hi, my name is @2 Hand Touch, I like long walks on the beach and a good book.  Come join me at the Complex tomorrow where we won’t be walking on a beach or reading a book.  We will instead be moving around the AO with our precious coupons and getting after it.  Bring shoes for all terrain, headlamp wouldn’t hurt either.

HC below, this ain’t no book club.

Got to the AO early to do some quick recon on the path and to get cones/chalk setup.  It was amazing out there, crisp but no wind, perfect.  PAX started rolling in, I serenaded them with some intro tunes.  Mummblechatter helped get the energy going.  C-Bus and I reflected on the cinema classic Saving Silverman (we are still trying to figure out how it wasn’t nominated for any Emmy).  5:15…game time.

Circle of Trust

Importance of being there for your fellow PAX.

Training I’m doing to get ready for GrowRuck event in April has involved working together with fellow PAX and pushing and supporting each other.  It helps so much having other guys to push but to also lean on.  That brings me to my main point, wherever you are in your F3 journey, make sure to be out there supporting other PAX in their journey.  If you are father along you can be a massive force for someone earlier in their journey.  If you are earlier in your journey you can look to those further along as a resource, and can also support those that are earlier on their journey as well.  It’s so much easier to do hard stuff when you have others there doing it with you.  Also, go sign up for GrowRuck April event.

Always look forward to changing it up and getting over to TC for a Q or a post.  Was glad I could help fill an open Q spot.  Also glad I could be on Q when Gunther had his maiden voyage as a SQ.  Got a chance to get to know him a little as well as a couple other TC regulars during the workout and at coffeeteria.  Going to make an effort to try to get over to TC for more posts going forward.  Thanks again to Gunther for stepping up as Friday SQ at TC and for covering the 6 here.
