Rolf Park Black Ops (Rolf Park) – 2/4/18

Q – Woodstock, PAX: Stark, Rooster, Bambi, Flo.

Began with 3fs, mission, and principles.

Warm up with SSH (cadence), windmills (cadence), arm circles (10 count)

Run on the ~1 mile track surrounding Rolf Park. At the beginning of the run, and throughout the beatdown, YHC read quotes from Q Source regarding the King. Very powerful stuff.

Ended run at first beatdown stop.

100 Yard Dash then 100 Shoulder presses, run back to start point. Recover OYO.  75 yard dash then 75 mountain climbers (2 is 1), run back to start point to plank/wait for six.  50 yard dash then 50 LBCs, run back to start point.  Recover OYO.  25 yard dash then 15 (20) burpees, run back to start. 10 yard dash then 10 (15) burpees, run back to start point and plank/wait for six.

Mosey to field 2.  The best laid plans… With only 5 out of 11 HC’s (as of Saturday morning) showing up, significant modifications were needed from plan. Settled on 2PAX running while other three did Merkins, then flutter kicks,

then squats. Each runner went sideline to sideline, then rotated in and 2 other runners took off. 3 rounds of running for 1 each exercise, for 9 sideline to sideline sprints. Closed with all 5 doing a sideline run then 40 Merkins, all pushing until 6 finished. Repeato for flutter kicks and squats.
-21’s (all were on point)
-back to cones, 100yd dash then 10 Webb jacks. 25 yds to next cone, 10 Webb jacks. Repeato at each cone to 10, then did 10 burpees.

Mary: absolution (10), lbc’s (20), Outlaw (10 R/10 L), V-ups x 15

COT – Cor, nor, 6 (Flo)

YHC read one final Quote: remember, we are building a kingdom of Preparedness within which we intend other people to safely dwell. we know that fatigue makes cowards of us all.  How can a man be much of a Leader if he gets smoked pulling his family’s luggage off the baggage carousel and carrying it to the minivan? What will a son learn from a father who can’t play catch with him in the backyard for more than five minutes without having to sit down?

Ended with BOM.

THE THANG:
Welcomed the most important member of the F3 Pax today to the center, our FNG, explain the F3 5 core principles and to give him an understanding of our mission and purpose. Pax circled up around YHC and proceeded to do 5 workouts in cadence: SSH IC = 20, windmills IC = 17, The Merkin IC = 10 (YHC implemented that full range of motion is most important in F3, grab some humility and get on your knees if you can’t obtain a 90 degree angle; if you can’t do 10 Burpees properly then do 5—don’t cheat yourself) the squat IC = 17, the flutter (Klinger) kick IC = 20.
Mosey to the tennis courts (5 courts in total) line up on far sideline. YHC explained the pain the Pax were about to embrace in order to punch their ticket as the “Greatest Ever” (at least for that hour)…

COR, NOR, and “Know the 6”
Dos Equis shared being headlocked by iron man “Stark”; his military and family obligation has caused a pause in his F3 mission, Hedgehog immediately stated “Thank You” which was echoed by the Pax for Dos Equis’s sacrifice as a member of the United States military. He proceeded to share his decorated life and amazing accomplishments. RESPECT. Grateful to have your leadership.
COT: Spaulding and his 36 week beautifully pregnant wife and unborn child, patience, H2 and the tragedy he shared, Kitty and his family, our troops who give the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, and those intentions that we hold in our hearts.

It was an honor to lead and be a part of such a fine group of men on this first Saturday in February. As I look at the man I was just a short 9 months ago to the man F3 has demanded I become, I am humbled, grateful, and deeply honored to be a member of F3.
Ozzie thank you for this opportunity.

Aye.

Groundhog Day-Southview Pre-ruck (The Fuse) – 2/3/18

Pre Beat Down Ruck

Pax: Colonel, H2, Danica, Bourbon, Buttermaker, El Chapo, Wake, Hedgehog, Stamper, Nails, Splinter, Mater, Mary Lou, Bluto, Sunshine, Trinity
Q: Trinity

We did a quick review of the 5 core principles of F3. Pax agreed to follow YHC through Olander Park after warning that it was still closed and we may be trespassing (though YHC failed to mentioned we’d be scaling a few fences which may have been met with more resistance than potential traspassing fines). We started out heading east on Sylvania Rd to the southern entrance to Olander. All Pax successfully scaled the fence unscathed, though it was clear many of us haven’t hopped a fence since grade school. We followed the east side of the train around the pond to the northern entrance and scaled two more fences. Stamper stood guard and managed to keep all but Nails from hopping into the water in the drainage ditch. We continued north to Brint Rd, took that west to King and followed that the rest of the way in. We covered just under 4 miles in a little under and hour.

CoT: El Chapo was our 6 and shared how F3 has pushed him to share more than might normally in a personal setting.
YHC brought us home with BoM which was brief, though uninspiring. The lack of insight will be blamed on the cold temperature and the cold medicine YHC took before posting this am.

Moleskin: Always appreciate the opportunity to lead especially as this morning was my first time Qing a ruck. Admittedly, I was nervous as the Pax scaled the first fence as that could have ended badly had anyone had a fall. I’ll make sure to keep us on an unobstructed route in the future.
Nails proved his physical and mental toughness by completing the ruck and the subsequent RAK Q’d by Brita with a wet shoe. YHC’s feet were cold all morning so I can’t imagine adding wet socks to the equation with windchill temperatures in the single digits.

Saturday In The Park – I Think It Was The 4th Of July (The Fortress) – 2/3/18

Began with the F3 mission statement followed by 5 core principles of F3.

Warmed up with side straddle hops and windmills in cadence and then stretched our hamstrings.

Ran to new location to work on abs

Everyone held plank as long as they could, then went to center to encourage the remaining competitors. 2 combatants were left planking when Q took mercy on them (not naming names because it was you against you, but those of us there know who they are! Nice job men). Everyone was a winner to push to their personal limits

Following exercises in cadence: Cross arm crunches, American Hammers, Mountain climbers, Leg raises

Ran back to original location to Work on Full Body

Following exercises in cadence: Burpies (this was the Q’s gift for those in the Burpie challenge, your welcome), Scissors, High steps, Plank jacks, Merkins

Run back to position 2 and worked on legs.

Everyone held Al Gore for max time until they could no longer hold, then went to center to encourage the remaining competitors. There was one person that outlasted the others (not naming person because it was you against you, but awesome job!). Everyone was a winner to push to their personal limits

Following exercises in cadence: side lying left leg lift, side lying right leg lift, squats and calf raises.

Returned to start for final push. Running out of time so did triceps dips and plank taps shoulder & stomach, which PAX lovingly renamed as Macarena planks (but Q prefers the name TuPacarena Planks)

Venom, Stark, Huffy, Virus, Shakira, Jennay, Flo, Sipe, Cobra, and Tupac (Q)

Ended
in a COT and most PAX enjoyed a 2nd F at lamplight

Pre-Ruck Strength Over Weakness (The Fortress) – 2/3/18

Pax – Jennay (Q), Stark, Shakira, Tupac

Opened with Mission statement and 5 core principals.

Moved to a brief discussion on difference between good pride and bad pride. Pride in what you do vs. being too prideful to ask for help. Goal for the ruck would be to carry the 60lb sandbag as long as you could muster and not be too prideful to ask for help when you need it. No timer would be set for rotation, only asking for help could take the load off your shoulders.

Rucked for just under 6 miles with the first hour around downtown Perrysburg area and the second half around the track at Woodlands park.

Closed with COT and Jennay was 6th.

M.O.A.R. 2 (The Oasis) – 2/3/18

2/3/18 Pre-Ruck

Q: Mother Rucker
PAX: Dauber, Honeymoon, Modell, Mother Rucker
AO: The Oasis

Began with the F3 principles: outside, free, men, COT, peer lead. Left the Oasis and returned after 1 hour, 9 minutes, and 14 second had passed, and 3.87 miles had been traversed. One little break was made for a quick 60 second plank hold in Start HS parking lot. During our short time together much bonding was had, and many of the world problems were solved through thought and word. The ruck was ended with gratitude for the PAX present, and prayer intentions were offered.
