Mississippi Mud

Leave a comment

It was a chilly morning in The Fort, but the firey mumble chatter kept us all warm. So did the pain!

After a plethora of warmup exersices we were off for some wall work.

The Ascending Testicles (not so distant cousin to Balls to the Wall)

15 Degrees – 10 Derkins
45 Degrees – 10 Derkins
Balls to the Wall – 10 Derkins

Then a round of The Australian (aka decline mountain climbers

We then moseyed over to the track to celebrate the birthday of our beloved state Mississippi.
Fun Facts: Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state on December 10th 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Mississippi is known for being the birthplace of American blues music and is also famous for its fertile soil, which makes it an agricultural powerhouse, as well as for its catfish farming industry.

The Thang:
18 of one exercise, run half a lap around the track. Then 17 of the same exercise, and run the other half of lap (year 1817). We worked our way all the way down the list.

I Think We Where On A Trail

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Was Done
THE THANG: Olaf asked me to Q several weeks ago and forgot all about it. Had he not texted me the night before I would not have shown. 0515 rolled around and we had 3 pax plus me. First time ever meeting Butter Fat, what a cool awesome dude. And he wore some Altra Lone Peaks so he was in the cool kid club already! We grabbed our rucks and sandbag and I took the boys to a trail or at least tried to find it, behind Earthfare that our humble Olaf is in process of making. I think we found parts of it. We made our way down Dave Gibson Blvd. to a trail that I’ve never been on before (Shocking I know). All in all we got around 2.5 miles while passing the sandbag back and forth throughout. Olaf underwent hand surgery so he rolled in at the end much to our surprise.

YHC was reminded yesterday that someone is always watching you. Whether its your Concentrica, the Pax or work colleagues, you have infinite opportunity to influence others positively or negatively. The choice is yours. As leaders, ask yourself after interactions with other people “How do they feel after speaking with me?” Did you lift them up or bring them down? Set the temperature for others. Be the light!

Are You Prepared for 2023

Leave a comment

Are you ready for 2023?  Have you set your fitness goals for next year?

January is fast approaching.  Now is a good time to sit and write down some fitness goals for the next year.  Pick three to five goals and share them with someone (Shield Lock) who will keep you accountable.

The year I started F3, we had a fitness challenge called F3twofiddy.  The goal was to post 250 workouts during the year.   I am going to reintroduce this challenge for 2023.

Here are the general guidelines (not rules):

  • This is a goal-oriented challenge (You verses You). It’s not a contest. First one to 250 does not win a prize.  In fact, some may choose a high goal than 250.
  • Any 30 minute or longer workout counts
  • Does not have to be F3 related
  • Each leg of a Relay type event would count as one workout
  • CSAUPs and GoRuck events count as one workout no matter how long

You can track it yourself or use a copy of the Tracker created with the help of 38 Special.

Details on the Tracker:

  • Download a copy to track your information
  • Starts January 1, 2023
  • Enter your name in cell C2
  • Enter your workout goal (# of workouts) for the year in cell C4.  The sheet is prepopulated with 250.  If you frequently post to bootcamps and exercise outside of F3, the number should be significantly higher.
  • Enter your daily workout counts (columns B thru I) starting January 1st.  The cells will also accept text so you can type a specific event in the cell like “Workout Q” or “Charlotte Half”.  The text will count as one workout.

A Slack channel (“250in2023”) will be created to answer questions and to provide encouragement throughout the year.

Let’s get after it!
