It was hard to tell if it was raining this morning. It was definitely raining. Except it wasn’t, except for when it was. Still, a good Monday crowd made it out in the gloom. The Q couldn’t settle on anything in particular so we just did stuff until time ran out.

WARMUP: SSH, tempo merkins, tempo squats, cherry pickers, willie mays hayes, down dog

THE THANG:
Part 1: 5-5-5-5
PAX split into teams and did 5 exercises, 5 reps, 5 times, with lots of high fives
Exercises: Carolina Dry Dock, monkey humpers IC, bonnie blairs (hard way), American hammers IC, merkins
One pax ran clockwise, the other counterclockwise. When they met they did the exercises, high fived, ran again until they met near the start, did the exercises, high five, and that was one lap. Repeato for 5 laps.

Part 2: Blind Bear Bingo
PAX lined up on the goal line. Bear crawl 10 yards with their eyes closed. Stop, open eyes. Penalty was 1 burpee for every yard you were off the target. Repeat to the 30 (20 yards)
Repeat to the opposite 40 (30 yards)
Repeat to the goal line (40 yards)

Part 3:
PAX lined up on the 50 and OYO had to do 100 Bobby Hurley’s, 100 WW1s, and crawl bear to the goal line in any combination/order/count they wanted.

MARY: WW1

ANNOUNCEMENTS: channel

COT: It’s almost the end of May. We’re a quarter of the way through the year. Did you make a resolution or set a goal and you’ve already fallen off the wagon? Wish you had set another goal for the year? It’s not too late. There are still 9 months to go. It’s a good time to recommit to whatever you said you were going to do for 2025.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

COT
Appreciation of Kodiak & all he does for F3. He has served as Horizon site Q for years, he volunteers to support rucks, he volunteered to help with breakfast after 9/11 stair climb, etc. We need more leaders at F3 like Kodiak. F3 is all volunteer and 100% peer led and without HIMs stepping up to lead, F3 doesn’t exist.
