Arrived at the moment pit to discover that the rain and lightning had kept people at bay. Decided I was already wet and would celebrate the birthday of Snooki anyway. Grab the block. Found a shelter by the pool did some block exercises. Moseyed over to Williston shelter, and did some block murkins overhead presses, weighted squats, then onto bear, crawling the ramp and crab, crawling back up and repeat. Then migrated with the block over to the front of Williston, and did some wall sits calf raises, step ups and wall jumps to finish it off. COT was a prayer to be a better man not for myself, but for the reflection of the ultimate Q for each one of my kids, my M my mammon. Find a way to live with love and respect. Gump out.

Welcome FNG Michael! Aka F3 Bolt! Lot was awesome! Super high energy and motivated! And dude I’d fast! Ran a 1hr 19 min 1/2 marathon and 18 min 5K in high school. Hence the name!

We warmed up with some SSHs, imperial walkers, gravel pickers and merkins. We then did a goose poop loop stopping at all the speed bumps to alternate 10 merkins then 10 squats all along the way. Stopped at the pull up bars for three rounds of 5 burpees, 10 dips, 20 LBCs. Moseyed back to the flags. Speaking of, we then headed over to Fuel Depot territory for an almost epic game of capture the flag. It almost worked and I appreciate everyone giving it a go. Sometimes you take chances and sometimes it doesn’t work out. Maybe it would’ve gone over better with more 2.0s? COT We prayed for Julia working through immigration, Dadbods wife and her father dealing with loss and grieving. Prayers for my Dad dealing with a tumor hoping it’s not cancerous. Praises to FNG Bolt for hitting his first post with such enthusiasm and energy, I loved it. -SOL out.

Here were the rules I came up with. It had potential. But a better motivator might’ve helped.

Capture the F3 Flag 5 Modes of movement

  • [ ] Bonnie Blairs
  • [ ] Broad jump
  • [ ] Bear crawl
  • [ ] Lunge walk
  • [ ] Backwards walk/run

Get tagged on other teams side - go to jail

  • [ ] Mosey to jail

To get out of jail

  • [ ] Get tagged by teammates and crabwalk back to home turf OR
  • [ ] Do 20 merkins
  • [ ] 20 squats
  • [ ] 5 burpees
  • [ ] Crab walk back to your teams turf to respawn

Jail for one team is other teams home base and you must get other teams flag back to your home base to win.

No guarding the flag within 15 feet

Home base for one team is hail for other

On your own the you are a defender On the other teams turf an offender

You may toss the flag to a teammate while capturing other teams flag.

Flag can be hidden yet must remain visible

Two minutes to strategize, hide flag and place jail location.

To win one team must capture the other teams flag and get it back to their own home base / jail

If you have the flag you can be tagged anywhere on either trams turf

If tagged with flag drop flag and go to jail

My 2.0, Ryder, finally made it out of bed at 5am to join me in the gloom. I've been EHing him for a good three years and finally had to throw in three pumpkin muffins at Panera to close the deal. It was a blessing to be able to work out with my son, hopefully, the first of many to come. Does anybody have a tissue?

Tempo Burp and Merk – 3 count down

We went to 10 merkins, 55 in total. These were a nice burn with the rucksack on. Even my 14-year-old said he felt the last few sets.

Jack Webb – Sandbag clean and press and squats

We did a 1 to 4 ratio and finished with 10 clean and presses and 40 squats with a sprint in between each set. That's 220 squats for those keeping scores at home. We made it to set number 8, broke off for some Capture the Flag with the OGAO Pax, and finished the last 2 sets at the AO.

COT

Prayers to Banjo on his move to Dolly Parton's home state of Tennessee. I love Banjo...and Dolly for that matter too.

My 2.0 Ryder is now known as Touchdown Jesus due to his love for Notre Dame football. He got off easy. He doesn't realize how close he was to being named "Erudite".

Hoveround - Proud that you only said one obscene joke around my 2.0 this morning. The over-under was 3.
Leroy Brown - I told Hot Mike you're going to drive by his house and flash your high beams at 5am on Monday if he doesn't show up to Baywatch tomorrow. Buddy the Elf - I'm just glad you didn't get concussed by the plate doing those burpees. Last - I believe you were second to last today, so you have that going for you.
Tom Sawyer - My 2.0 thought you were really cool.
Parrot Head - My 2.0 thought you were a cop.

In Empie Park, where spirits soar, Five valiant men, of legend's lore, Did gather 'neath the moonlit sky, To celebrate with hearts held high. United there in strength and grace, With fitness, fellowship, and faith, They vowed to conquer dark and fear, And forge a bond that none could tear. Tom Sawyer, man of tales untold, Now fifty-six, his years of gold, With Wicked and Niles at his side, In night's embrace, they chose to stride. To train tracks, where the shadows creep, And o'er the bridge, where winds would sweep, They shared the tales of youth's delight, Their laughter echoing through the night. And WNBA and Bedlam, they, Embarked upon a Kessel ruck, Their spirits high, as if to say, No challenge could their hearts unstuck. With legs that surged like thunder's roar, A record they did set, and more, In thirteen minutes, miles they tread, The fire of victory 'fore them spread. At six-seventeen, they gathered round, In circle of trust, where love was found. And Hoverround, with voice of cheer, Did sing for Tom, who stood so near. They prayed for Turner, battling strife, For cancer sought to steal his life, And Bedlam, mayhem plagued his home, Their hearts did lift, though storms may roam. In unity, their spirits soared, For each man bore a warrior's sword. Their hearts entwined, as brothers true, With courage, love, and strength anew. Then, separate ways they each did tread, Their paths diverging, yet spirit-led, Comforted by the sacred bond, Of male community, and far beyond. For these five men, in darkest hour, Had found within each other power, To face the world with heads held high, In fellowship, beneath the sky. No challenge great, nor burden small, Could break the bond that held them all, For in their hearts, the truth was sown: Together, they would never be alone.
