Announcements: Murph, Boneathon, convergence.

COT: Thinking about the man book challenge and the need to have skin in the game. I’ve taken a path in life that has mitigated risk, and at times I often wish I would take on a risk to prove to myself I can do it.

COT:
3rd F stands for faith. Doesn’t matter what you have faith in just that you have faith in something. That something could be yourself. It could be your kids. It could be you parents or your spouse or your friends. Today I celebrate our faith in the belief of fitness and fellowship. In our ability and willingness to get up early and come out in the gloom to do something that we know we need to do but may not want to do. That is a true testament to faith in my opinion. Keep that shit up, boys, because it’s damn impressive :punch:

PART 2:
Mosey to the railings by the basketball courts for an Australian pushup / Derkin pyramid. 5-10-15-10-5 reps. Then, thanks to the ghost of OG Hightower, a bearcrawl tunnel of love. Which OG Jenner had to explain, because YHC had no idea what that meant.

PART 3:
Mosey back to the field for a 5 rounds of “catch me if you can”:
– Partner 1 sprints backward, Partner 2 does 3x burpees and sprints to catch up. Jog to the other goal line and flapjack. Both partners do 5x burpees together. This, as it turns out, was a horrible idea. Hence the modifications for rounds 2-6.
– Partner 1 jogs backward at 60%, Partner 2 does 3x burpees and jogs to catch up. Both partners do 5x burpees together. Flapjack.

COT: 7 years ago the F3 Capital region flag was planted. 11 OGs, 9 FNGs, and an unknown number of DR PAX showed up to start the group we have today. May is Mental Health Awareness month, and men are disproportionately impacted. F3 is so important to combatting the isolation that many men feel. I’ll post an excerpt from Bogey’s COT from The General on Tuesday, because it can’t be said any better (full COT linked below):

YHC noted that May is Mental Health Awareness month. While mental health should be a priority every day/month, May presents an opportunity for focus and intentionality on the issue. Between rounds, YHC shared some stats on mental health challenges among men. YHC challenged and encouraged the PAX to be mindful of their fellow PAX and those around them who may be struggling. YHC also encouraged the men to be more vulnerable, and to reach out with their own struggles.
