Persevere because others are counting on you

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to have the Q at SLT and wanted to bring a side of hills to match the main course of heat and humidity. The Pax were game so we did it and thus started the day up 1:0.

WARMUP:
Run to the bottom of GHES hill for a quick warmup. Run to the light pole hill in the back

THE THANG:
Light pole suicides with 5 Big Boys, 10 merkins and 15 Squats at each pole.

Mosey home finished at 47 minutes.

COT: Men with courage and vulnerability shared their prayers and praises. This workout was sponsored by Hebrews 12:1 and the perseverance necessary to take on the day.

Mosey home

MARY: Included in Dora series

ANNOUNCEMENTS: July 4th convergence at Catawba Ridge 0700 launch time

COT: The theme today was built around Struggle because the Summer Steam has kicked into high gear and the core of the F3 engine for me is Shared Suffering. These pax suffered through a tough workout with grit and encouragement throughout. The Struggle in the Gloom can be hard, but the hardest struggles come once we leave the parking lot after COT. The suffering life deals is real and difficult. And the personal struggles that exist inside the heart and mind can be the toughest of all.

Don't believe the lies in your head that other men aren't struggling. We all struggle, from the sharpest and fittest Nantan to the gimpy pax trying to get off IR. DON'T STRUGGLE ALONE! The reason we post is to build the grit and the brotherhood that will get us through every struggle!

Appreciate the contributions of all throughout the workout and in COT!

Thanks for the invite JWOW! You were missed.

NMM
Every day presents different challenges. Will you rise or fall? What decisions will you make?

I woke up this morning at 5:07. The workout I was supposed to lead started at 5:15. I live 8 minutes from the AO. I had a decision to make: hurry out the door or pass my responsibilities to someone else. But Maximus reminded us this morning that society wants to push us to the sidelines. They say we shouldn’t get involved – let someone else take charge. But that’s not our calling. Our mission is to invigorate male community leadership and I can’t do that from my bed. So I did what I was supposed to do, albeit in was 11 minutes late. Late is better than never.

Thank you Bam Bam for taking charge in my absence. I owe you 11 minutes.

Aye!

The Loredo

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 20 SSH, 20, Hillbilly Walkers, Moroccan Nightclubs (or some version of that)
THE THANG:
The Thang
We put our own spin on Loredo, kicking things off with the run:
6 Rounds for Time

  • 🏃 400-meter Run
  • 🦵 24 Squats
  • 💪 24 Merkins
  • 🚶 24 Walking Lunges

The prescribed 24 reps represent the 24th day of June, the day Staff Sgt. Loredo made the ultimate sacrifice.
Every PAX pushed through, encouraged one another, and crossed the finish line. The pace varied, but the effort did not. Everyone finished on their own time, proving once again that in F3, it’s not about being first—it’s about refusing to quit.
Not satisfied with just one beatdown, we followed it up with some 11s:

  • 📍 Sideline to sideline
  • Big Boys
  • Monkey Humpers
