đź’° Sandbag Extravaganza đź’°

Leave a comment

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.
MARY: 3 minutes of broga
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Manion, may16th ruck, bethelshelters

Rucking to find the million dollar bridge

Leave a comment

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.

MARY: take rucks off
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Manion, Bethel

We never know what someone is going through. Could be divorce, a health scare, loss of a loved one, inability to pay rent, loss of a job, or mental, physical, or emotional stress. Sometimes life hits you hard and you just need someone to listen and support. That’s what F3 is all about. Sure, we could all get a good workout at Burn Bootcamp (shoutout to the coach across the parking lot yelling “encouragement” to her class). We might even have a bit of fellowship with our coworkers. But when life gets hard, most people lack a support system to help them get through it. F3 has been that support system for thousands of men worldwide. But that support system can only help if you share your burdens. Get to know the men around you in COT. Build those relationships that carry you in the hard times and celebrate with you in the good times. You never know when life will get hard, but it sure helps to have friends to get you through.
