F3 Murph Tracker

March Madness Ruck Run Challenge – 2022

Do you like rucking or running? Well we have the challenge for you. For the month of March track your rucking and running miles. The rules are simple. Rucking must be done with a weighted ruck sack, no stuffed animals either get some weight in there. Maybe rucking is not your thing, then track your running miles and no miles during a beatdown do not count, cause I know someone will ask. You must log 60 miles during the month to complete the challenge. Simple right, want to make it interesting put some skin in the game in the form of money and compete against the PAX, contact Beaker to pay. Your total miles minus 60 miles will be calculated and the top 2 Pax members, one for rucking and one for running will split the pot and have bragging rights for a week or so till we decide to do something else dumb and for no point. How to track your miles, it’s easy use the link below to go the spreadsheet find your name and the date and enter your miles to the new nearest tenth of a mile, no rounding up, no weak crap. To clarify the nearest tenth of a mile is like this, if you rucked 3.44 miles then you record 3.40 miles, so walk that extra .06 and get 3.5, don’t be lazy. Also this is the honor system so do not mess it up for us. Any questions get with Beaker or Thong Song and they will answer your question unless it’s dumb then Thong Song will ignore you.

Ruck Run Google Sheet

Q Resource

Qing a work out can be overwhelming but the PAX is here to support the Q and make sure we set you up for success.

How to get on the Q schedule?

Talk to the site Q and ask for what dates are open for there site. Here is the link to the site Q list.

Creating a Calendar event

GroupMe has a calendar function where all the workouts get posted. PAX members will HC to the event. It is recommended to create your calendar invite 7 days prior to the event to allow for planning.

Planning the work out

If this is your first time leading a workout, a good idea is to co Q with another pax member or work with the site Q on what works well at their location. Plan for 40 to 60 minutes of exercises depending on the location. F3 Nation has a great webpage that goes thru planning a workout along with starting a work out and ending a work out. When ending a work out during name-o-rama please take attendance via video so you can post your back blast.

What do I do after the work out ends?

F3 Toledo tracks the pax stats and how our AO’s are performing. A back blast is required to be posted so the weasel shaker can track the points. To post a back blast, go the F3 Toledo calendar for either Toledo or Sylvania and find the workout. Click on the workout and go down to the comments section and the format should be the date, the work out, the pax members in attendance and who the Q was. We also document who the 6 was and synopsis. Once you submit the comment, go to the groupme app and tag the weasel shaker in the comment about the back blast being posted so he can fill out his stats.

What if I have an issue?

Shared Leadership Team – If you have any issues with the process or have suggestions please reach out to a member of the SLT and they can guide you.

The Lion Capital Ruck

The Lion Capital Ruck is based on GORUCK’s Star Course and is hosted by F3Toledo as a CSAUP and a fundraiser for one of its Pax, Jimmy Dean. Jimmy Dean and his M are looking to adopt a daughter from India and are in the fundraising part of their adoption journey.

The Lion Capital of Ashoka is the state emblem of India and is represented by 4 Asiatic lions with their backs to each other. Like F3 brothers watch out for each other, so too do these lions. Whenever used by any government body in India, the words “Truth alone triumphs” must be placed right under the emblem.

This special event is open to all F3 regions who would like to participate.

As part of every F3Toledo monthly rucks, there are 1st, 2nd and 3rd F components to it. We will ruck, we will have the opportunity for fellowship afterwards (beverages, college football, fun) and we will be able to live 3rd through donating towards Jimmy Dean’s adoption.

Here are the details for the 13 mile ruck:

  • The event starts at 6am (yes, AM) sharp on Saturday, October 23rd, 2021. Be there 10-15 minutes early.
  • Starting location is by the Echo artistic sculpture in Promenade Park in downtown Toledo. The address is 224 Water St. Toledo, OH 43604.
  • Parking can be found along several side streets within a block or two of the park.
  • The event has a hard stop at 11am and will cover roughly 13 miles.
  • At each wayward point (including the start and endex) each team will take a selfie and post it on Twitter and tag @F3Toledo with #LionCapital.

Packing list:

  • 20lb ruck plates if over 150lbs, 10lb if under.
  • Reflective Ruck Bands (or equivalent) on your rucksack
  • Headlamp (+ extra set of batteries)
  • Smartphone with external battery (at least 1 per team)
  • Photo ID and $20 cash (just in case)
  • Water (with bladder or bottle)

Recommended items:

  • Nalgene bottle
  • Food
  • One extra pair of socks
  • Waterproof bag

Teams of 2-5 can be formed before or at the beginning of the event. The group can decide if it wants to remain as one big group or split up.

At 6am, Jimmy Dean will pass out sheets of paper with all the wayward points, as well as where to take the pictures at each location. Each team will then determine their own route and begin.

This event will be a great test of mental, as well as physical, toughness as the long miles will wear on us.

Sign-up here as an individual or one person can register his whole team: https://bit.ly/3kFy5pA

For 2nd F after we close down the event, teams are free to leave and head home or choose one of several dining places to grab some grub and watch college football.

For 3rd F, there are two ways HIM can donate towards Jimmy Dean’s adoption:
