Very Rucky

The usual running was almost hijacked by ruckers this week. Tclaps to the speedy Sir Toppam Peach stand, bass, Fogerty, corruption, for keeping us a running AO.

We ran, we rucked, we fellowshipped, we prayed for a reflective Holy Week.

Complex Math

16 at Minnow Pond for a test of speed and math skilz.
Simple loop around town, four stops
Stop 1 – COT – Merkins
Stop 2 – Pharmacy – LBCs
Stop 3 – Parking lot – SSHs
Stop 4 – Gazebo – Squats
Back to COT for lap 2
Rep count Lap 1 was 2 for everyone
Rep count Lap 2 was 4 for everyone
Rep count Lap 3 was 6 for everyone except the lead pax, 8 reps
additional laps: Lead Pax rep counts = 2 x prior lap reps
everyone else rep count = lap # x 2
Guys out front reach the 64 rep count based on the compounding.
Short lesson, compounding can be excellent when you are looking at saving money, over time it accumulates to a nice sum of money. On the other hand, when you have issues that go unchecked, they can result in a bigger problem down the road. Make sure you keep coming out, share what’s on your mind with your shield lock.

Choose Hard

WARMUP: Run to bandshell at WEP
THE THANG: We did laps around WEP with an accumulator thrown in for fun. When returning to the bandshell after each lap pax did the following starting with the first exercise and then adding the 2nd to it, then the 3rd, then adding the 1st exercise on top of the original 3 following the 4th lap

Burpees x10
Should taps x20
Squat x30

We got in 5 laps before returning home. All the effort in continuous fashion kept the pax warm and kept the cranky mumblechatter flowing.

MARY: done inside the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D items and more
COT: yes!

Crazy 21s

WARMUP: it’s minnow pond. So, no

THE THANG:
Fast pace 3.75ish miles stopping to do Super 21s.

That’s 1 merkin, 1 squat, 2 merkins, 2 squats, etc. up to 21 merkins, 21 squats. 231 total reps: n(n-1)/2 is the formula if you want it.

Did this back in 2019 https://f3thefort.com/2019/12/19/super-21s-at-minnow-pond/ it sucked then too.

MARY: a little with the 45 seconds remaining when we returned to COT

NMM: listen, every man that posted today is already trying. Sometimes it’s not enough just to try. We have to find ways to be better. Maybe that’s working with more intensity, maybe that’s eating better, maybe that’s resting smarter, maybe that’s speaking kindly to your children… but whatever it is, if you’re already trying and you need better, find a way.

It’s 2025, MEN of The Fort it is time to thrive
