Training Ground

WARMUP:
THE THANG:
Ruck Shuffled 1 min on and 1 minute off the full workout.
We made our way to Mr. Putty’s for a windmill and stretched. From there, we shuffled to the back road to GHMS, and at each light pole, we did 3 merkins and 3 squats in a back-and-forth sequence of out 2 poles and back 1 pole, working our way down to the bottom of the hill. Ruck on the whole time.
At the bottom of the hill, each pax selected a large rock, we did one overhead press and pass the rock to the right for a full minute, then rinsed and repeated to the left for a full minute.
We then shuffled to the benches at the school and did 3 sets of ARAP dips for 30 each, with ruck on.
We then shuffled to the light poles in front of the school and did 5 flutter press and 5 OHP while suitcase carrying the ruck from pole to pole. The sequence was out two poles and back one pole until we made our way to the end of all the light poles.
We then shuffled to the bottom of the hill at the school entrance. Did 10 slick burpees and ruck shuffles back to COT.
MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: Closed in prayer

Run It Like You Stole It… or Forget the Route

Minute Man rolled in at 6:02 — just early enough to technically make the “6ish” window.

?‍♂️ Road Warriors:
• Fogerty, Bass-o-Matic, and YHC tackled Sam Neely to Harvest Point and back — locked in a crisp 10K (6.2 miles) before most people even hit snooze.
• Peach Stand took the scenic route: Sutton, Baxter, Starbucks fly-by. 4.25 miles and the quote of the morning: “6 miles wasn’t in the forecast.”
• Tiller and Minute Man completely ignored the Harvest Point turn like it never existed.
• Tiller hit the Dam and flipped it at 8 miles.
• Minute Man nearly made it to his own driveway before realizing we weren’t behind him — turned back at Dam Rd for 9 miles, crushed That Hill™ like it was flat. Savage move.

? Trail Gang:
• Vuvuzela and Roll Off delivered a trail-running masterclass:
• Vuvuzela lost a shoe mid-run, went full archaeologist to dig it out, and still gutted out 9.5 miles.
• Roll Off sprinted those same 9.5 miles like he was racing the time clock — controlled chaos at its finest.
• Sasquatch went full beast mode: prerun from home to Lake Haigler, ran the workout, then ran home. 10.66 miles — just showing off at this point.
• Everest and Cobra Kai casually dropped 9 miles like it was a warm-up jog.

? Ruck Ops:
• Wegmans did his thing — 3.6 Kingsley loop miles with weight on his back and grit in his soul.

? Shoes were lost. Hills were tamed. Coffee was earned.
?See you next week — no map needed (but maybe bring a phone just in case).

Unbeknownst to the PAX we switched modalities about halfway through. This was to represent the foundation 1 from Q-Source: https://f3nation.com/disruption.

“Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption”

PAX were disrupted from their planned morning workout to make sure both Qs saw all the PAX and to push them outside the complacency zone of their established routines. With the leadership, we should expect disruption and embrace it.

Leaders influence movement towards advantage. Disruption is a solid technique to induce movement.

“If a man calls himself a leader but does not cause Disruption by initiating movement, then he is not practicing leadership. He might be doing something else, like managing or governing, but he is not leading.”

It is not the goal of the new SLT members is not to manage or govern. It should not be the goal of the Site Qs to manage or govern. Let’s lead!

F3 is not an organization with leaders, but an organization OF leaders. Each man is freed to lead. The particulars of Site Qs and the SLT structure is nice, but let us not be afraid to disrupt when we have a vision for advantage.

Kermit handed 2nd F Q off to Liberty Bibberty
Band Camp handed the Weasel Shaker off to Poppins
Esso handed the Nantan Flag off to Band Camp

It is an honor to be considered a leader in the Fort. But be mindful every member of the PAX is A LEADER. Let’s all be about the business of leading.
