We needed to test the AO coming to the new Lake Wylie region before our official launch next Saturday 4/9/16. So 6 travelling PAX made it out to Oak Ridge Middle School at 7am to have some brutal fun! I thought I would be the first one there at 6:42am, but Cornhole and Hauschka were already in the parking lot. The weather ap on my phone said 0% chance of rain from 7-8am so at 7:01am it started to downpour…just the way we like it!
The Thang
Started in the rain with dynamic warm up lap in the parking lot.
Light jog High Knees butt kickers Knee pull to chest ankle pull to chest
Now it really started coming down, so I gave the PAX the option of staying under the front awning of the school or hitting the field in the rain. Cornhole was quick to say “Let’s get out there!” So mosey to the field we did.

Mosey around to the back of the school. Grabbed some wall, interesting that there were 100 dead beetles back there…it’s a Lake Wylie thing…
Peoples Chair with multiple PAX counts – BTTW – rinse and repeat 2x
Mosey to the small field bleachers for a recon

Mosey to teacher parking lot
Lt Dans with 10 flying squirrels at each island total 30 – little mumblechatter here, too much work!
Cornhole lead us for the remaining time
Found the little ROTC type course with a great feature… a large see saw! So we put big man Vinny on one side, and the remaining 5 of us on the other side all doing calf raises
Took a lap around the small drop off circle- did a few exercises – then a lap
LBCs – Peoples Chair – Flutter Kicks
Mosey to the grass for a crowd favorite Slow Jack Webbs then Ab Webbs started raining a good bit again…

Moleskin:
I had butterflies in my stomach for this first day of a long awaited soft launch of F3 Lake Wylie. I wasn’t sure if anyone would be there when I arrived, but as with many things I’ve learned about F3, the PAX will always be there when you need them! It was great to be 20 minutes early and already see Hauschka and Cornhole stretching and getting ready to take a quick tour of the place. That first few minutes was comical. Weather said no rain for this hour, and it was pouring on us. Everyone else that showed up had no idea how to get into the parking lot (crazy school drop off lane… Solid State sped into the corner so hard I though he was going to fishtail off the road! And 5 minutes into the Weinke, Vinny (as he is so well known for) comes tearing in just in time to catch us moseying to the football field. Those 2nd F moments are the fun we get to share, and a good reason we come back morning after morning. This is just one of the many examples of why F3 is needed in Lake Wylie, to help men get fit and help make them better leaders in there own communities. EH that co-worker, friend or relative that lives on the West side of Lake Wylie and get them out here to learn all the great things that F3 can do for them! If you’re spending time reading this, then YOU already know the life changing effects this thing we call F3 can do for you…share it!
And Honor to Lead

HC for Saturday. Looking forward to it!
