COUNT: 15
Frisbee. Golf. Frolf. Top Golf. Top…Frolf! Uncharted territory for YHC, but you can’t have a “bad idea” without first having an “untested good idea”.

WARMUP: SSH, late burpees, WMH, IW, Hillbillies, more late burpees, RVE, down dog, worlds greatest stretch.

THE THANG:

PART 1:
The PAX split into teams of 5, and then were ushered into F3’s first Top Frolf Stadium (sponsorship openings available – YHC is looking at you, Tostitos).

The field had one tee box for each team (complete with frisbee), and was laid out with 5 landing zones at various distances from the tee boxes, marked by cones. Each team had to land their frisbee in each of the zones exactly once. Partial landings were accepted. Each PAX on each team took turns. If the PAX missed the target, then they bear crawled to where it landed and threw again from there. Once he landed the frisbee in the zone, he ran it back to the next PAX on his team. Lifetime to learn, easy to master.

Non-throwers cycle through exercises while waiting (1 minute each). 1. WWIIs
2. Reverse lunges
3. Gas pumpers
4. Merkins
5. Flutter kicks
6. Monkey humpers
7. Toy soldiers
8. Bobby Hurleys
9. Shoulder taps
10. Jump tucks

First team to hit all 5 targets wins. 1st place: 5 burpees / 2nd place: 9 burpees / 3rd place: 10 burpees

Switch up the teams between each rounds. Jenner was the only 3-team winner. 3-time losers were not tracked.

For the final round, all PAX threw with their non-dominant hand. Hilarity ensued.

PART 2:
Ultimate frisbee. 1 burpee penalty for hitting the deck. Scoring team led exercise before kicking off again (and being mocked by Defiance for being losers).

MARY: Flutter kicks, big boy sit-ups, penguin crunches, Nolan Ryans

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Oops. 9/11 stairclimber. Check the channel.

COT: We often talk about the importance checking in on F3 brothers you haven’t seen in a while, but also check-in on friends who aren’t PAX. They may need it even more.

thefarm Circuit Ruck

Date: 2024-08-24
AO: thefarm
Q: Infinity
PAX: Firehead, Sparky_The Farm, Matthew – Running Man
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4

WARMUP: Grass Grabbers, Don Quixotes, and WMHs.
THE THANG: Rucked 3.2 miles around the fields at the Farm since Firehead was monitoring a situation at work that he ended leaving the ruck to resolve. The field is looking nearly 3/4 done. We stopped every half mile for some PT. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Firehead Q Monday
COT: we discussed what salesmanship means (anytime you persuade someone to do something they wouldn’t otherwise do), attention to details, and the value of experience to get good at doing it. The key is to apply yourself in the right way for the maximum benefit to yourself and others. We aren’t here F3 just a benefit ourselves, but to bring someone with us for improve fitness, leadership, and pursuit of something more in life.
