The PAX: 3 Mile, Prenup, FNG SwingLine, Lucius, Tiesto, Poe, Hightower, Jenner, 2 Percent, Sunshine, JAG, Bone, Bambino, Major Payne, Elvis

On a strangely warm morning, we had a Game Day Friday.

WARM UP: SSH; imperial walkers; cherry pickers, arm circles; mosey to the coupons to bring them down to the field

THA-THANG: 

GAME #1: Who’s Block is it Anyway (Hat tip: Bone for the name)

The PAX were divided into groups by careful scientific analysis of fitness level, blood O2, cognitive evaluation, and counting off by twos. The objective for each team was to move a coupon from one endzone to the other. Each point allowed the PAX to move the coupon one yard. To earn points, PAX were allowed to choose their exercises, with increasing points given to exercises of increasing difficulty. The exercises were:

1 point: 2 Merkins

2 points: Bear crawl to the 10 yard line, 20 Bobby Hurley’s

3 points: Bear crawl to the 20 yard line, 10 squat thrusters

5 points: Bear crawl to the 30 yard line, 5 man makers

8 points: Bear crawl to the 40 yard line, 20 yard traveling burpees

After the first round, degree of difficulty increased for another round where points awarded were 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

GAME #2: Get Off of My Lawn!

Still dividing into two groups, the coupons were even split with half on each sideline. The objective was to get all of the coupons to the other team’s sideline. To move a coupon, the PAX had to do an exercise of their choosing. As the exercises got easier, they got longer to incur a greater time penalty. The exercises were:

-10 Burpees

-20 Frog jumps, 10 SSH

-20 Carolina dry docks, 20 SSH

-15 Flutter kicks IC, 30 SSH

-30 LBCs, 40 SSH

After generous helpings of both mumblechatter and shenanigans, it was time for Mary.

MARY: WWIIs, toy soldiers, flutter kicks

COT: We talked about the F3 Mission Statement: Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

And the F3 credo: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.

Both are important aspects of why we meet and what we do at stupid hours of the morning in all kinds of weather, but are also valuable thoughts in other aspects of your life. Plant. Grow. Serve. Leave things better than you found them. Aye!
