Tag: Straight Up

Don’t take it for granted.

Leave a comment

Warmup:

47 SSH (IC)
20ish merkins (IC)

Mosey around the elementary school car line.

Killer B’s:

Bearcrawl 10 yards do ten burpees
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.

👊👊👊

Stealing from Tesh

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Not enough

THE THANG: stolen from Tesh: https://f3thefort.com/2019/10/24/2019-43-minnow-pond/

YHC did change the route so the burpees were done at the Nazarene and then ran back to the location of the bear crawl

Most got 3+ miles

MARY: no, time was of the essence

NMM:
An excerpt from a poem by Amanda Gorman:
Just like a skill or any art,
We cannot possess hope without practicing it.
It is the most fundamental craft we demand of ourselves.

Getting to start my day with the caliber of men in the Fort is one way I practice hope. I’m grateful for it.
