COUNT: 3
Conditions:
Partly cloudy + 58°

WOR:
Copperhead Squats x10

Michael Phelps OYO
Stretch OYO

The Thang:
Grab your coupons and head to the first light post.
Everyone rotates through three roles:
– Rifle carry + exercise
– Bear crawl
– Exercise + Farmer carry
The exercises to do were 5 Merkins, 5 BBSUs, and 5 burpees. The rifle carrier immediately moves to the next light post and does the exercises. The bear crawler also immediately starts to bear crawl to the next light post and does Merkins or rests—there wasn’t much time for them to do anything. The farmer carrier first does all the exercises at the light post before moving to the next one. When the farmer carrier arrives, everyone stops and rotates roles.

Finished with 5 Minutes of Mary.

Moleskine:
When you fall out of the habit of F3 due to sickness or other circumstances, jump back in ASAP. Modify as necessary.

Moleskine: Friend of mine who is a chaplain walked into a room of a 43 year old dying man who didn’t want to see him. “My religion is golf… the golf course is my church.” The chaplain’s reply, “No it’s not – it’s your cathedral.” What followed was a conversation about how he golfed with his father, and now with his sons. This began a friendship that led to the man becoming open to faith as he never would have been.
