Warning Lights

WARMUP: a series of exercises with 1 rep (yes, DOAH, ONE rep!) plus some moseys and other movements around the loop to the playground

THE THANG: The main event theme was Blue Ridge Relay training in the form of hill repeats up Stairway to Heaven, followed by exercises at the statue down the right side of the Stairway, then a mosey back to start. The winner of each heat picked the exercise and then started the next heat with a 5 count delay for the others to run ahead. The last couple heats involved some partner exercises. We wrapped up with a collection of Burpees.

MARY: Done throughout the Main Event

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter

COT: yes, as required by the 5th Core Principle (in proper order, DOAH)

This group can sprint! Jekyll, Spike, Ruby, Davinci, Dojo, Minuteman and Super G kicked into the highest gear they've probably seen in a while. Well done! Keep up the sprinting! Fishstix says we need it to stay young.

Along the way, the pax shared experiences and suggestions on ways to monitor our life gauges (ie, overheating mentally, running out of gas physically, etc), including watching each other's dashboards and calling out when a brother may be in a potential red zone. Am I watching my dashboard before the crash? Am I truly listening to feedback from others who care about me?

Thanks to everyone for pushing me through another BRR training session! Thanks to Minuteman for the invite!

The Brickyard at ROF

Arrived early to walk around and stretch a little before the workout. A few minutes after arriving another young man showed up. Didn't recognize him so introduced myself and we started talking. Did not know this was Cash's son until Double D showed up and let us know. What an honor to lead the workout of Cash's son's first F3 workout at the AO named after his dad. Another special moment brought to you by F3.

WARMUP: Moseyed throughout the COT parking lot while conducting various exercises. Since we had an FNG we managed to review our mission statement and 5 core principals during warmups. Now, time to get to work so I walked the PAX over to my vehicle, hit the lift gate, and asked the PAX to grab 2 bricks. Then we moseyed to the field carrying our burdens.

THE THANG:
Running with bricks:
BrickYard 400
Lap 1 – Run Straight Aways, NUR Curves, 10 BombJacks in the middle of each curve
Lap 2 – Run Lap while stopping in the middle of each curve to complete 10 Burpees
Lap 3 – Repeat of Lap 1
Lap 4 – Repeat of Lap 2

Next we introduced the FNG to a Jack Webb:
Jack Webb w/ Bricks
Ratio of 1:4 of 2 exercises, continue until rep count reaches 10:40
2 exercises were Merkins : OH Claps

To close it out we moseyed to COT to work on our Superman poses:
Superman Routine w/ Bricks– 4 different arm/leg positions held for 10 seconds per position – x2

MARY: No time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your NL

COT: Normally I do not write a lot in BBs in this section but felt led to share a little from this morning's group. Our FNG was asked why he came out to an F3 workout. Fitness was mentioned as he is preparing to attend the Citadel. He then started talking about Cash and how he remembered his dad telling him over and over what a great group of men were in F3 and the positive impacts F3 had on his life. These conversations – seeds – grew until his curiosity peaked and he had to see and experience for himself what was so inspirational to his dad. Hit home this is something we need to absolutely give away! Give it away in our homes, in our extended family, to our friends, to our communities! Keep pursuing other men to join F3, keep planting those seeds. You never know when one of those seeds will take hold and start to grow, and the seed you plant might just impact those closest to you, like a son. Love ya fellas and pray yall have a blessed day.
