Grab a Partner!

9 PAX showed up at The Storm and were introduced to the partner with whom they would spend most of the upcoming 45 min. As far as I know, there were no complaints about the assigned partners.

A Kotter, “Spork”, made an appearance after about a 2-year hiatus. (He’s obviously been staying fit since his last F3 post, though, including a 4-month-long hike of the entire Appalachian Trail. He recently got back from that hike, and still kept up with the PAX just fine.)

Some PAX got in some EC ahead of time, which included some running and also NUOS training in prep for the August 6th-7th GrowRuck.

No FNGs, brief disclaimer.

F3 Bulldog – July 20, 2021

It was my first time as a Q at Bulldog. I had been a few times prior to agreeing to Q so I knew what type of workout  I wanted to do.

After a brief disclaimer, we took a lap around the parking lot and circled up for the Warm Up.

Warm Up
SSH x 20 (IC)
Sun Gods x 10 (IC, forward and reverse)
Windmill x 10 (IC)
Concrete Pickers x 10 (IC)

***Instead of doing a 10 count, I decided to get to know the Pax a little bit better since I don’t post in this area frequently. Each pax shared how they started in F3 and what F3 means to them.  It was great to get to know the men who post regularly at Bulldog.

Prayers
Voodoo said his daughter broke her arm riding a bike.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning!

Aye,
