Folsom 10/28/23

Been a while since volunteering to lead at Folsom, good to be back.  Sarlac greeted me and pointed out the location of the blocks, good to know.  Ponyboy and Gearwrench came in from a couple of miles of EC.  Volt, Chubs and Westside all rolled in  with a few minutes to spare.

0630, let’s get going.  Start with the mission of F3, to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men, for the invigoration of male community leadership.  Warmup with some side stradle hops, imperial walkers, gravel pickers, arm circles and some stretching.

Mosey to the blocks.  Everybody grab one.  Five stations  surrounding a center station.  Perform exercise at one station and rifle carry to the center station to perform that exercise.  Rifle carry to the next station always returning to the center after a station is complete.  Outer stations were blockies, thrusters, swings, goblet squats, and WWIII sit ups.  Center station was blockies.  After each round, run to playground and back staying on road.  Decreased reps, beginning with 25, middle blockies number was 3.

Westside made it to the round of 5 reps, Not sure about everyone else, YHC had just finished round of 15 reps when time to stow block.

Mosey back to flag to discuss how each day is a new day, success or failure day before does not define this day.  Success leads to another day of hard work to stay ahead, failure is a chance for learning and a fresh start.

Get out to Q source and participate in CSAUPS and Grow Ruck events.  These events a critical in the “invigorating” portion of the mission statement.

Announcements:  24 hour run in Dallas at Old School site November 4 (Folsom is closed) – trying to fill each hour for companion runners also donations for No Brainer Foundation, convergence and Christmas party first Saturday in December, trail based CSAUP Nov 18, Speed for Need at Christmastown 5k (HC to Broke)
