Boot camp style workout at the Shops at Fallen Timbers. Group will meet next to the movie theater. Easy access to the Wabash Cannonball Trail for some running or rucking. Also, plenty of blacktop to make use of, not to mention a little green space across from the theater.
Date: 11/9/2019
Time: 5:30-6:30 am
Event: pre-ruck at The Battlefield
Mission and 5 core principles were shared before stepping off.
Event began slightly after 5:30 as Q (Bongo) saw a large crowd gather for his ruck, and Lonzo was coming in hot.
11 PAX including 1 FNG (Sharkbait, woo ha ha!!) stepped off on a ruck towards The Battlefield Monument.
Q chose to put Smoky and Chew Toy in the lead, as the Q’s headlamp decided to puke, and heading out in the dark, we needed the light!
Chew Toy, with the assist by Mercy, brought along a coupon for some fun, that was passed around throughout the PAX.
Smoky decided today was the day he wanted to set a new land speed record for himself, and took off at a great pace, allowing us to get almost 3 miles in in less than an hour! T-claps to Smoky were shared over his fitness journey!
Weight was passed, stories shared, and coupons were passed, as we headed back to the AO in anxious excitement for what Huckleberry had brought over from Perrysburg!
Name O Rama, Count O Rama, Know the 6, naming the FNG, and COT was all completed at the end of the beatdown as a large group of 16 PAX!!

Mission:
To plant, serve and grow men’s small workout groups, in order to reinvigorate male community leadership.
5 core principles:
It’s always free
It’s open to all men
It’s always held outdoors, rain, shine, snow
It is always led in a rotating fashion by the men of F3 – no professional training, you vs. You, modify as needed
It always ends with a Circle of Trust
COT:count off by two’s for two teams
Theme: Beatdown Checkers
Give rules for playing checkers:
OBJECTIVE: The objective of checkers is to get as many pieces from your opponents as possible
It is not a collective decision on which piece to move, you go one by one in the line and the person up decides.
Each team starts with 12 colored discs (of the same color).
Players place their discs (pieces) on the dark squares on their side of the board.
Black has first play, after turns alternate.
Moves can only be made on black squares, so the pieces move diagonally. Pieces can only move in a forward direction, toward their opponent.
If you are moving your disc forward, and not capturing your opponent’s piece in the move, you may only move it forward one square.
In a capturing move, a piece leaps of the opponents piece in a diagonal line, landing on a dark square on the other side. While you can only capture one piece per jump you can make multiple jumps in a single turn, if the positioning of the pieces allows.
After a piece is captured, it is removed from the board, and collected by the opponent. -> do workout on bottom of the piece
If you have the ability to jump your opponents pieces, you must. However, in the even there are more than one capture possible from a single square, you may jump whichever piece is preferable.
Once a piece reaches the first row of their opponents side of the board (conversely, the row farthest from the player who controls the piece), that piece is kinged, or becomes a king, and is crowned with a piece that had been captured by the opponent. King’s stand twice as tall as a single piece.
Kings can only move diagonally as well, however they can move forward or backward as opposed to single pieces.
Kings can also jump both forward and backward (diagonally) in the same turn, a multi-direction multi-jump.
The game is won when the opponent is unable to make a move. This can happen one of two ways: the entirety of a player’s pieces were captured by the opponent, or a player’s pieces are all blocked from moving.
Give rundown of the 12 exercises / summary of them:
12 on each side (recommend repeat same exercises on both sides)
King = 5 Burpees for both teams anytime someone gets kinged
Jumped = Team who got jumped has to do the exercise under the checker
All = While waiting:
Air raises
Plank
Squats
12 exercises (same for each side)
Merkins (20) Arms
Wheel Barrel w/ partner Halfway to fire pit and back (switch on way back) Arms
Shoulder taps (15) Arms (2 is 1)

The Thang: Border Battle Pre-ruck
Just your typical Bongo Pre-ruck. Started off with F3 Mission, Core principles, then stepped off. Good pace of approximately 14:30 per mile was met and maintained for approximately 3.5 miles.
At the 2 mile mark, Lonzo asked for some ruck sack squats, so Q directed the PAX through 30 ruck sack squats, the stepped off back to the AO.
NOR, COR, and COT was saved for after the beatdown led by Huffy.
It was an honor to lead, and until next time, I remain,
Bongo.
