Welcome FNG Steve Gilmer. Great EH by Hollywood while he was preparing for an open house. There were many names that he could have been called, but Steve is now known as Gypsy!
DT can’t seem to get out of his own way, again. He has mastered the art of not showing up when he HC’s……
Intro: YHC was asked how he felt about taking over The Ditch on Tuesday. YHC felt the time was right and graciouslly accepted the offer. Thank you Redo for all you have done for the Ditch and YHC. You are the sole definition of what it means to be a TRUE LEADER. Today, YHC wanted to bring a symbolic Q that would go along with his devo.
Conditions: mid 60s, no precipitation. Could feel the summer humidity rolling in.

grab a block, head back to flag. 2 unlucky PAX had to obtain a BIG block because the normal ones were all taken.
The Thang:
Using a dice to determine what excercised will be performed (1: 20 OHP, 2: 20 LBCs IC, 3: 15 Tricep Extensions, 4: 25 Merkans, 5: 10 Blockees, 6: 30 Flutterkicks).
After 3 excercises were Q’ed by YHC according to the dice, YHC allowed the PAX to rotate the blocks (to allow everyone to have a chance at the BIG blocks) and roll the dice. This allowed each PAX to Q an excercise that was determined from the dice.
After 20 minutes of this was completed, YHC stopped the PAX to complete 10 Burpees for a train horn. Then made the workout into a Usain Bolt. The person that rolls the dice will run around the tennis courts. As he is running, the person that was to his left will Q the excercise according to the dice until the person that is running gets back. Rinse Repeat.
Stow blocks, come back to flag
6 Minutes of Mary:
Since a lot of LBCs and Flutterkicks were completed YHC thought it would be smart to do some Hand Release Merkans. 20 Hand Release Merkans OQ

Life is short, time goes by fast just like this workout. The dice was symbolic to how life rolls at us with obstacles and adversity. It is just a matter of how we react to them and battle through the tough times (excercises). We all have the potential to do great things and be great people its just are you willing to put in the work?
Moleskin:
The PAX enjoyed the Q. Thank you Redo for all you have done for F3 Summerville/Goose Creek, The Ditch and for me. I am truly grateful to be able to be the new AO Q for The Ditch!

Conditions: 61 degrees, looks like winter is finally gone!
The Thang: 24 PAX got after it on various routes, modes of transportation/exercise and some for just coffee. Plus a dog. No, it wasn’t Dog Balls.
Moleskin: Great turnout. Could have been 25 if DT got off his ass and actually showed up to something he HC’d to. Plenty of laughs at his expense, but it was glaringly obvious that Shortcake missed him. Even Sakrete’s dog Charlie got out of bed for some 2nd F.
Great to see plenty of PAX either running, rucking or riding this morning.

Devo:
When you ask what people think of when they here the word Father. Depending on the relationship people have with their own father will result in a positive or negative description. If we want to be a Father to our children as God is a Father to us, we must communicate intentionally with our children and set time aside to set the example for our family.
Moleskin: The Pre-Blast indicated a plan of the “Hateful Eight”. During the “warm up”, YHC indicated the plan to perform Burpees as part of the “Hateful Eight.” The mumble chatter was a show that most did not realize today was April Fool’s Day as YHC would never bring Burpees to a running AO, so we ran. The run was longer for some as a search team was assembled to look for missing car keys for Fanta, unfortunately, the search was negative and Fanta was forced to walk home.

Conditions: 45 degrees, cold
The Thang: 30, I repeat 30!, PAX showed up to The Creamer to either run, ruck, ride or just for coffee.
Moleskin: For some reason whenever it is cold out, the PAX tend to order coffee and sit outside. I have still yet to figure this one out, but that is for another day.
The return of Shortcake and DHL brought all the boys to The Creamer – sorry Cheetah! It was great to have these two guys back out after a long hiatus.
Happy 39th birthday to Bedrock’s own Benefits!
Many prayers request were spoken as well as many praise requests. T-Claps to Too Much for taking us home in the BOM.
Fitness. Fellowship. Faith.
