A strong and pretty large group of men showed up this Monday morning to #getbetter. The Crater is a great AO with a lot of varied terrain to cover. I had been promising Nails to get on the Q sheet, which you should too!

I began with welcome, the F3 Mission statement and disclaimer while a few stragglers rolled in at 5:31. We began the first two exercises at the flag while our late arrivals got situated.

THANG – The F3 Deck of Death

  • Hearts = Cardio

  • Diamonds = Upper Body

Rep Counts

  • Card # = # + 10 reps

Pax took turns choosing a card and then announcing and leading said exercise. It’s always good work work in a little #QSchool into a Monday morning. YHC also asked for a recitation of F3’s 5 Core Principles, which the pax crushed!

  • 100 Flutter Kicks
  • 100 M (ish) Backward Run

At 6:07, time was called and we moseyed back to the shovel flag, circling back for the Six along the way.
