Q: Captain Kangaroo
_______
75 degrees in the early morning hours at West Omaha’s Zorinsky Lake Park.
As an out-of-towner, introductions were made. The F3 Mission and Core Principles were read.
Note: I had never been to Zorinsky before so I first scouted a few weeks ago via google maps. It looked a lot like a larger version of an AO I attend in Raleigh, “TrueGrit” at Shelley Lake so I knew I could come up with something pretty easily…especially since I saw rocks along the east side of the lake at the base of the dam. I love using ditch rocks in a workout! So I had half the Q planned out doing a lot of rock sets. Once in town, I also physically reconned the site and it was a good thing I did. Those rocks I hoped to use were HUGE. Much too big to use for gun work. So plan B was triggered.
I mentioned to the pax present that I love writing up a Q BUT, even though I’ve been a part of F3 since Aug 2013, Qing came very difficult to me because I am a world class introvert. It’s hard among pax I see everyday in Raleigh so you can imagine how challenging it was in front of new faces! So the lesson here is if I can do it, everyone should be able to step up… DM your Site Qs and get on the schedule!

Trot to adjacent bathroom structure (note: inside that structure is awful, based on firsthand experience during the previous day’s recon mission) and proceeded to circle it a couple of times as I reworked the ‘virtual weinke’ in my head (Plan C?). We stopped along one of the long walls on the east side where we could all fit

Low Country Crab x20 IC
Continue to lower lake (unpaved) trail to the base of the dam as I’m sure that it isn’t an official WildKingdom workout unless the dam hill is utilized in some way. Partner up.
Partner 1 run up hill to paved trail and continue clockwise. Partner 2 run counterclockwise along unpaved trail to the paved trail. When partners meet, perform 10 partner high five merkins and then each continue their respective routes to start point.
Flapjack so partners switch directions. When they meet, perform 10 partner sit-ups and then continue their respective routes to start point and perform an additional 10 partner sit-ups.
Fellowship run back along unpaved trail through woods to dock. Using middle rail perform:
- One-legged squat (right) x10
- One-legged squat (left) x10

(a little instruction was needed here as my version of the HtM was different than the HtM that we did a few days prior at TheOracle. The one we did today resembles the one that pops up if you google ‘bridge exercise’…good for marketing F3 along a busy street/intersection 😉

Prayer concerns
Galatians 6:2 reminds us to carry each others’ burdens and F3 has shown us that, collectively, we do a pretty good job of doing just that with texts, calls, and action for those going through. various levels of suffering. The Q admitted that sometimes he feels that he falls short in this quality but is resolved to get better about reaching out.
A prayer was offered to close us out.
Aye!
