Are you Tony Hawk?

WARMUP:
– 30-something SSHs
– Dynamic stretching on soccer field
– Discussion about the origins of my F3 name and the fact that a kid at Inizios really REALLY thought I was Tony Hawk – lol
– The F3 Name conversation spilled over to some of the other PAX present…Change Order expressed grievance over being picked on because of his career, Kermit apparently really likes broad jumps – I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

THE THANG:
A tour of the campus was the basic premise:
– Mosey to the athletic entrance: Lunges walks/reverse lunge walks w/ assorted exercises in between (bomb jacks, big boy sit-ups, monkey humpers, etc.) between light poles
– Mosey to bus loop: Merkin train (1 merkin and walk your hands 3 “steps” to the right) down one side of the curb
– Wall sits alternating with BTTW x3
– Merkin train part 2
– Mosey to the playground: 1 pull up, 2 chin ups, 1 Kraken Burpee, 10 knees to chest on the swings x 3
– Mosey to back of school for assorted stupidity (maktar jais on the wall, bear crawls, calf raises up the steps, broad jumps, more lunge walks)
– Mosey to front of middle school at top of car rider loop: 11s with big boy sit-ups at bottom of hill and burpees at top – completed 1/10, 2/9, and 3/8
– “Catch me if you can” sprint back to COT

Boys in Toyland

WARMUP: We did some stuff around the SF then crossed the street to find better pavement and church cameras for Monkey Humpers

THE THANG: We moseyed behind the church where the pax found a stack of toys and chalk. Each pax picked a partner and together they picked a toy and then set up a station with an exercise. Partner 1 did the exercise while Partner 2 ran a short loop. Flapjack. Then move to next station with Partner. After completing all stations, we changed partners and stations, made up new exercises and repeated the cycle.

MARY: We split Mary between the back lot and the SF lot. Cousin Eddie earned his War Baby label for the morning by pushing the pax a little extra with BBSU x20 as we closed out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Trash pick up Sat, clown car Sat for COLA 10yr, CPR training Sat

COT: The open-ended weinke today was aimed at sparking some creativity among the pax and inspiring potential Site Qs. Our 4th core principle is “peer led in a rotating fashion” and that applies to Site Qs as well as to workout Qs. I look forward to the day when I’ll take a Shovel Flag once again. Our Site Qs lead right on the front lines — it’s not easy…and that’s why it’s so important and so fulfilling!!!

Thanks to Dojo for his leadership and the opportunity to carry The flag this am!

Goal of going through F3’s mission, credo, and core principles is to etch these talking points in our mind so we can better convey what F3 is all about to potential pax.
