Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 20 bombjacks
Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 30 BBS
Broad jump all the way back to the start. Do this 3x
15:00 minute time limit.
After this I asked the pax if when I put the time limit on the routine it made them push harder or slack off. The point being we all have a time limit. Our time is finite, if they’d true then why not push yourself… why not try and maximize your minutes?
2nd routine Pick your poison:
Since Duquesne made the tournament for the first time in 47 years everybody got to choose how they wanted to get 47 reps in.
47 HR OR Diamond merkins
Run a lap
47 Jump Squats OR Lunges (2-cr)
Run a lap
47 (4-CT) flutters OR HD
Run 2 Laps
This took us straight to COT.
Men…Maximize the minutes given to us. Lost time is never found again.

NNM: I spoke today about one of the many examples of what F3 has meant to me. Specifically, the other day I was out for a pre-run where I started out at a “comfortable pace” already deciding in my head what I was “good” with that morning. Then about 2 miles in I came across a fellow Pax who got to the AO early and decided to go find me. We started to run together and my “comfortable pace” got very uncomfortable very quickly. All told, when we got back to COT I had increased the pace I was running at by over 35 seconds. He literally found me where I was, didn’t leave me behind, and pushed me to accelerate. It is what I needed then, and it’s what I needed 5 years ago when I started F3. I never knew how fast I could run, until I started running with faster guys. That Friday morning was a great reminder that I can always push more, that I have plenty of gas left in the tank, and that somewhere out in the gloom a brother is willing to go find you and get you better. (Thanks Olaf)
Whether you are accelerating 1F or the 2nd and 3rd, run with faster guys and don’t just be comfortable. You never really know what you are capable of until you push just a little bit more.
AYE!
