WARMUP:
20 SSH IC
10 LSS IC
10 HILLBILLY WALKERS IC
10 IMPERIAL WALKERS IC
10 MNCS IC
YOGA

THE THANG:
Mosey to the entrance of Pike Engineering for -2s of Derkins & Dips
Q3.10 Consistency – “The Consistent Leader is constant and regular in everything he does. His followers are drawn to him because his steadiness provides a safe harbor from the howling winds of Chaos and Flux that blow periodically through their own lives. He is their rock.”

Mosey to Print Shop for -1s of pull ups and knee ups.

Mosey to First Baptist Parking Lot
Plank it up – “Strong Routines are the framework of Consistency.” We in F3 know what to do. Wake up and exercise, everyday, We shouldn’t have to think about it, just do it. Remove unnecessary decisions, and create routines.
4 corners.
• First lap included 10 merkins at each cone
• Second lap included 20 squats at each cone
• Third lap included all of the reps – 10 merkins, 20 squats

A couple of teenagers stumbled upon us in the parking lot and joined in on the fun. We asked what they knew about F3 and appropriately answered “Yall are crazy.” A brief intro to F3 was given, and they were named Nastradamus and The Cobbler. Nastsradamus runs cross country and stayed with us to the next stop.

“The Virtuous Leader focuses on bandwidth not perfection.” Reminded the PAX that consistency will help minimize the flux in our life. This isn’t about perfection, but about limiting the lows in our life. The things that keep us away from a healthy lifestyle that enables us to lead.

Mosey to Massey Hill.
7s at the Massey Hill. CDDs and Peter Parkers.

MARY: Flutters to 0730hrs

The Kickoff of the Funhouse Farewell Tour

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
I am certain we warmed up.

THE THANG:
It occurred to me as I sat to write this, that I have no idea (since it was a MONTH ago) what all we did that morning. I usually have a plan written out ahead that I either commit to memory, or will even shove a printout in my pocket to reference just in case. I didn’t do that this time. I know that I tried to call a few of the favorites of <@UGNDJBDU3> in his honor. I know we hit The Zipper and we definitely performed the Gonorrhea Burpee (because it has The Clap), but that’s all I really recall…

Now, the only person likely to read this is <@UGU3XR5RP>, but I just got painfully convicted about not writing Backblasts in a timely nor efficient manner. As I was looking back to see if I could find this weinke, I discovered that I have the BB from both my FNG post (administered by <@UN6U5PXNJ> and <@U08GGTLHL>) and from my VQ at The Armory.

<@U07QXBKKF5F> joined us as an FNG that morning. As it turns out, this came at a critical time in his life… and is hopefully blessing it. But, I failed him as a Q. He now does not have the enjoyment or blessing of being able to go back and read the report from his first post and reflect on that in the same way that I do. The first day I posted, I was sure I was going to die when Pusher said, “And now for the second half, I’ll hand this off to Jekyll”. I didn’t understand how the toughest workout I had ever done to that point in my adult life could have a SECOND HALF.

That’s a cherished memory. So, for Road Rash and every man after him, I commit to writing BackBlasts, making them interesting and timely, and hyping the reading of them after the fact. I also will attempt to persuade other men to do the same.

MARY: No chicks.
