Stealing from Tesh

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Not enough

THE THANG: stolen from Tesh: https://f3thefort.com/2019/10/24/2019-43-minnow-pond/

YHC did change the route so the burpees were done at the Nazarene and then ran back to the location of the bear crawl

Most got 3+ miles

MARY: no, time was of the essence

NMM:
An excerpt from a poem by Amanda Gorman:
Just like a skill or any art,
We cannot possess hope without practicing it.
It is the most fundamental craft we demand of ourselves.

Getting to start my day with the caliber of men in the Fort is one way I practice hope. I’m grateful for it.

Did a ruck from Kingsley to Macray’s house near WEP. Stopped along the way for merkins and squats and sit ups and monkey humpers and then walked back and did more of the same. Twas a glorious outing that was enjoyed by all. We laughed, we cried, we tickled airborne with feathers and we skipped in perfect unison. That all, ok bye!

Moleskine:
Lots of huffing and puffing in the gloom this morning mostly involving YHC’s choices best described as those done in a prison cell – and one Jane Fonda jazzercise sans knee-high Reebok socks.
A few notables:
Dark Helmet loves burpees – please be sure to include them in any AO’s where he HC’s.
Esso and Maximus set the tone in weight vests, floral and all.
Punch List crushed crushed the AMRAPs like, well, a punch list.
T-claps to Man Down for posting despite his 3am college bedtime.
Peabody and JWow were silent but deadly when chiming in on the prison cell burpees and bear crawls.
Soup to Nuts won best hair for the gloom, despite a contended effort by YHC and Dark Helmet.
Always a pleasure – Solo

It was a privilege to lead the men today on the 1st Golden Corral workout for 2024. Thirty degree, dry air never felt so good! If you don’t post in the winter time, you are really missing out. Slow Jams announced that the shovel flag will be passed next week so be on the lookout for that. GC is my regular stop on Tuesdays and I’ve enjoyed spending time with him. He was a steady, entertaining presence every week, and did a fine job as site Q. Smuggler was also with us today as he continues his comeback. Keep it going brother! Here’s to another year of F3 at The Fort!
