YHC had the Q for NUOS and bootcamp, Tube took Painlab.  HIM’s came to work.

Warmup all together, start with a review of the mission of F3, encouragement to do what it takes every single time.  SSH, IW, gravel pickers 15x IC. Do some stretches just to be sure Whoppee limber and ready.  Split between Pain Lab and boot camp.

Boot camp heads to the track for modified PT test.  50 merkins and 50 big boy sit ups.  Run a lap.  Repeat 8 times.  We made it 7 rounds, time to head back.

Stopped at entrance to museum for  a sprint to the flag.  Had a few minutes to spare by design.  Spoke for a moment about Whoppee 2.0, Madeline, who just returned from surgery in Boston.  YHC spoke  for a moment about how Madeline had no choice to quit in her journey.  We had been doing 100 merkins for Maddy until her return home, which happened just a couple of days prior.  So we called 100 for Maddy to celebrate her return, encouraging the PAX to dig deep when it got difficult, Maddy didn’t have the option to quit., neither should we. We did 350 merkins at the track, so this was going to be tough.  Invited Whoppee to call them.  Good push men.

Pain Lab returned.  Pledge.

YHC spoke for quick moment on the importance of doing hard things together.  You never know when your brother needs you, or you need him.  Building that brotherhood through doing hard things is invaluable.  Whoppee spoke about  how getting a note or a text or encouragement, and knowing he and his family had so many prayers for them made a very difficult time a little more bearable.
