Announcements: Next F3 regional convergence workout will be the Grunt on Saturday, November 12th, 0700 in front of Lincoln Memorial.

CoT: I was talking with a prospective PAX yesterday, trying to explain why we meet early in the morning for our workouts. The following quote came to mind: “If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed” (Admiral McRaven, Make Your Bed). Posting at an F3 workout is like making your bed in this context, but so much better. Your workout in, sporting some sore muscles, you can go throughout the day feeling like a beast, taking on more challenges, and exerting more leadership in your work, family, and community. And you will reap the rewards of your diligent effort not only that day, but throughout your life.

Jokers’ Wild

DATE: 2022-11-01
AO: General
Q: citrus
PAX: Hard Knox, Lazlo, Toolbox, Trolley, Moneyball, 2 percent, XL FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
WARMUP: Mosey, windmills, cherry pickers, WMH, IW, Hillbillies, Michael Phelps, arm circles, down dog, world’s greatest stretch

THE THANG:
5 card stud

Exercise:
♠️ = merkins
♣️ = tempo squats
♦️ = WWIs
♥️ = flutter kicks (IC)

Number of reps:
Ace = 15
Face card = 10
Number card = The number. On the card.

Joker = wild card, if you do 10 burpees

Winner of each round got to choose between 150 yard sprint and drawing a card to do that number of burpees. Loser did whatever the winner didn’t choose.

Last round switched to 5 card draw, which didn’t help the team that suggested we switch to 5 card draw.

MARY: Thanks to numerous ♦️ and ♥️, most of Mary took place during the thang. But we capped it off with Nolan Ryans anyway.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Vet Burpee Challenge 11/11, The Grunt 11/12

COT: If you see someone struggling, see if you can find a way to help – even if it’s small. Sometimes the small things make the biggest difference, because the alternative is often “no thing”.
