NMM:
F3 Prepares us to handle to unexpected. But no matter how hard the workout is in the Fort we know it will be over after 45-60 minutes. In life, we don’t know when the challenge will be over, but we can almost always knock out one more rep. And then do it again, just one more rep, and one more rep, and one more rep, and one more rep
Brother, you can knock out one more rep. I know it. And if necessary, call it in cadence and ask the PAX to join you—cause we will

WARMUP: arriving late (doh) I missed the warm up and when I caught up saw some SSH like activity. I jumped in with apologies for tardiness and kicked off 10x LSS, 20x Merkin, MC & Peter Parker then some runner’s stretching. Distribute resistance bands for leg warm up exercices (not enough to go around, doh), and one-arm rows, and alternate those / jump rope. While untangling the jump ropes I believe it was @band_camp who thankfully took the lead with burpees until untangling completed, if they didn’t get in 20 they got close.
THE THANG: 3 sets of exercise scrawled on crumpled paper one on each of 3 orange cones (why cones? I have no idea, I have a very nice whiteboard collecting dust in my garage, thankfully no one asked):
