THE THANG:

“Something About Sandy”

Break into teams of 2

Intro: This is Sandy (60 lb sandbag) and we’ll be trying to earn her affection.

Now, Sandy loves things to be a little rough. So…

Team 1: HIM 1 throws sandy 25 yards to the soccer dot, while HIM 2 does the F3 male mating ritual (lunge walk) alongside all the way to the dot (WC if you want), switch roles at dot

Sandy loves to be with 2 HIMs at the same time so the teams must stick together for the throwing/walking.

Sandy also loves to be fawned over, so when the team gets back to the dot, HIM 1 takes Sandy and runs away with her to the dot to profess his love and then runs back, where HIM 2 then takes her and runs to the dot and back while trying his luck.

All the while, the other teams will be in the corner trying to impress Sandy as well by doing:

50 SC chest press WC, 25 SC squats WC, 20 SC merkins, 25 LBCs

It’s a race to see who can finish first, the two man team or the group doing PT. Loser gets 10 burpees to try to impress Sandy and increase their standing with her, while the winners get to bask in glory of the win and only get 5 burpees

Repeat for all teams

After all the teams have gone… as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder so 1 lap around the field without Sandy.

COT:
FIFA: Oldest Kid going through some dumb school shit. Trying to offer advice without being too prescriptive because she needs to figure it out on her own. Part of life. The advice I gave was be yourself and try not to care too much about what other people think. She asked how do you do that and I didn’t have a good answer. I told her that being true to yourself is always something you’ll be working at, that even mom and dad work at it every day. So there it is, be yourselves boys, don’t let anyone tell you to be something you’re not.

Winston: Jim Boeheim retiring after 47 years at Syracuse. Model of coaching greatness. The man is a legend and an inspiration.

COT: I recently changed jobs and boy am I uncomfortable. Here are the words-of-wisdom I am holding on to: When you stay in a place that is comfortable, you stop growing. Routines lead to us being numb in life, and it does little to move you forward. If you want to find growth and success in your life, then you need to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself. Creating discomfort forces us to grow and improve.

COT: Get Right. https://f3nation.com/get-right-q1/

Picture a man capsized in his boat, drifting aimlessly down the river of life. In order for him to have any control over his path forward (beyond the never ending currents of the river) he must get back in the boat. He must get right. Getting right is a never ending struggle that every man must commit to so that he can live right, lead right and finally leave right. To get right, we must take steps to improve that 1% every day. Coming out to make ourselves physically stronger is part of it, but it also involves our mental and spiritual pursuits as well. Keep pushing forward every day in all aspects of your life!

Aye!

COT: Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. Don’t let your own strive for perfection at home or at work disenfranchise your co-workers, family and friends. Be willing to have an open mind for other viewpoints and ways of doing things. Your personal strive for perfection can drive others away.
