Missing 4 names.. sorry guys, I was smocked…
🎄Tinsel🎄 out…
It was supposed to be a straightforward sandbag game. It turned into a full-on comedy roast with heavy objects and bad ideas involving bear crawls. The sandbag passing was clunky as advertised, but the teamwork, mumblechatter, and nonstop laughter more than made up for it.
We got after it, we picked up the six, and we had a ridiculous amount of fun doing it. That’s F3 in a nutshell — leave no man behind, but make sure he’s suffering and smiling while he gets better.
Thanks for showing up and playing along, men. Great effort across the board.
Aye!

WARMUP: SSH, IW, Merkins
THE THANG: Sandbag Sack Race
Two teams lined up shoulder-to-shoulder like we were auditioning for the world’s sweatiest relay. One sandbag per team. The rule was simple on paper: pass that heavy bastard down the line and back, then the whole team sprints together to your home side, knocks out a pile of reps as a unit, and hauls ass back for round two.
No man left behind. Lots of grunting, questionable passing technique, and colorful suggestions about where the sandbag could go next. It was equal parts teamwork drill and comedy show. Clunky? A little. Effective smoke session? Hell yes.
After we’d had enough of playing hot potato with the sandbag, we moseyed back toward COT… for the
Card Game Beatdown – “Move & MOT”
We broke out four mystery cards in the small parking lot: two “Move” and two “MOT” (Mode of Transport). Each card had a 1 on top and a 2 on the bottom, hiding two exercises or two ways to crawl/run/crab your way across the islands.
PAX picked a number for MOT and a number for Move. Then it was:
• Knock out the exercise
• Traverse the parking lot island-to-island using the chosen mode of transport
• Repeat the exercise on the way back
Examples included merkins + bear crawls, burpees + lunges, squats + karaoke, and plenty of other combinations that made grown men question their life choices while giggling like idiots. Foul language flowed freely. Laughs were abundant. Someone definitely called the bear crawl “the worst decision since my last marriage.”
We capped it off with a victory lap around the lot, then headed back to COT.
MARY:
A solid bit of core work to finish (Flutter Kicks, Freddy Mercurys) while still trading jokes about the morning’s chaos.

THE THANG: sandbag Indian walk where we had 8 sandbags and we did a full walk around the school. The goal was to learn how to handoff bags while walking ranging from 40, 60, and 80 lb bags.
Round 2 was 4 corners on the soccer field for curls (5), squats (15), shoulder presses (10), and big boys (20). After each exercise, go back to the middle of the field for 5 man makers.
MARY: stretches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: yes
WARMUP: SSH, Moroccan night clubs, arm circles, low slow squat, downward dog, hip openers
THE THANG: we had 40’s, 60’s and on 80#… shoulder the sandbags and go for a walk around the soccer field, stop halfway, circle up and go around the circle for over the shoulder toss until you go back to your bag, rinse and repeat… shoulder sandbags again and complete the loop around the soccer field to the main entrance. Around the clock over the shoulder toss x 2.
Go inside the field, partner up for bear crawl sandbag drag to other end, 2 pax per 1 bag, pick your poison style, reach the other side and toss the sandbag forward.
Line up facing the goal at arms length, we chose 4 sandbags for this, go on a plank and side pull to pax on left, once out of bags run to the end of the line “Indian run style” all the way to the other side of the field, go back to start point but now pull to the right, trying to work both arms and lats; rinse and repeat. Everyone was smocked by the end of this one.
Shoulder sandbags and take a lap around the drop off line.

WARMUP: put rucks on, grab one sandbag to share while exploring a route to the spring trails trying to find the million dollar bridge
THE THANG: leave NAFO parking lot, go up the the traffic light and cross the street to hit the service road in front of the small strawberry field, the idea was to get into archer loop and go towards the barn but couldn’t find a clear path, walked next to road until we got to adventure rd.
Left on mill pond, all the way down to the new “half a million bridge” crossed the bridge and took a right on blue star until we hit the other “half a million bridge”, went across and went up the gravel service road all the way to the barn, left on parking lot and into archer loop, followed until we were close enough to the small strawberry field and went across the woods to hit a service rd, and then back to NAFO. This is what I wanted to do to begin whit at the beginning to avoid walking almost a mile next to Springfield pkwy.
Not happy with 4.5 miles, pax suggested to keep going and looped around the elementary school and back to COT.
