F3 Workout – 11/21/2017 at Poison Ivey

24 PAX – Red red red Hot (with huge emphasis…loved it) , Spicoli, Epstein, Radar, Fergie (FNG), Fortran, Tarde, Checkbook, Deliverance, Fannypack, Crawdaddy, Tramp Stamp, Flo Rida, Blue Hen, Gilmore, Kay, Dr. Evil, Kryptonite, Ty-webb, Gisele, Sprinkler, THE Lucky Charm, Sludge, Dean

I’ll start with an apology to Sludge and any other PAX I may have upset. I’m not going to sugar coat it, I was angry and lashed out.  For that I am sorry.

With that in mind, I think it’s important to understand how I approach Q’ing, whether it be right or wrong you all can decide (and vote me off the island if you so choose). I like to try to challenge everyone, whether it be Kay or the 6th, which is often times me.  Point is, it is very difficult to do that in a workout with a large group of people with varying levels of fitness.  Thus, there is always the modify option.  However, if only one person needs a ten count, and no one else does, I try not to do a ten count.  That person can modify and take a ten count.  I don’t believe in least common denominator approach to leadership.  And I will note that I am often the 6th, ie the least common denominator.  I believe our culture is too soft on people, and we need to push each other hard to combat that.  When I Q, I unapologetically do that.  I realize that people, myself included, need to modify and there is no shame in that. And ironically, I think it takes a bigger man to modify a workout to what they can do, than to pretend they can do something they can’t. However, I personally can work on being more gracious and reminding people it’s OK to modify.
