Moleskin- This will not go down as one one of YHC’s best Qs. inadequate planning led to what YHC believes was poor Q execution. Even on YHCs best Qs there is always some place, large or small, few or many, that can be worked on or improved. there is no substitute that YHC knows of for a clear plan. Even if the plan gets modified heavily, or tossed out all together at some point, the knowledge of a clear plan brings a confidence in execution. Lack of clear plan can lead to holes, gaps, awkward transitions, and other possible consequences negatively impacting a Q’s ability to lead. Learning the hard way is learning path that has been well worn. The hard way way learned is less often forgotten. This wasn’t a ClusterQ, and hopefully pax would not judge the job done by the Q as harshly as YHC does, because their time is valuable, they put in the work, and they deserve to feel the Q gave them the best they had. The pentacle of perfection, even if not obtainable, is an excellent target. Leading is not just about trying. Leading well is more about knowing and doing. As in: it’s not enough that YHC tried to be on time to the commons where YHC is currently serving as site Q, it is about knowing what needs to be done to be on time and doing it. How ever, YHC isn’t sure if there is any real way to better gain the knowledge of what is needed of one’s self to be better without putting yourself out there and trying your best. It is always a pleasure, and a privilege, to get to lead any F3 workout (especially a favorite one like Boyd Lee Beatdown). YHC is excited to use the meat of this workout again, more finely tuned. It’s gonna be something great, and your not going to want to miss it! Well, maybe your forearms will. It was a great morning, even if windy. It was a good workout, even if not a legendary one. It was a awesome to get to work with the men who posted, and work they did!  YHC is a work in progress far from the target, but with plans of getting a little closer and with more to give. Such a privilege to learn and grow surrounded by so many HIMs in F3. ISI!  -strokes out
