Various stretchy things, including a few yoga-type thangs, followed by Dynos in a circle, then Mosey to Tennis Courts

Tha Thang
We divided into 4 groups at the corners of 2 combined courts with each group/team having a different suit of cards to create 4 stations (cardio, upper body,abs, lower body).
– teams rotated thru each station drawing a card and doing the exercise (reps were +10 to the card value, and 25 for face cards)
– when teams got back to their starting spot they instead went into the middle space between courts to do the “Ace in the Hole” which each had 100 reps
– when a team turned over a Joker (traditional) then everyone stopped and did 25 burpees, or a “Sad Clown” Joker had all Pax get on the line and sprint down to the very far end of all the courts

Quick Inspirational/Challenge Note:
For me, the rain made it awesome and memorable and reinforced one of the unique aspects of an F3 principle. Always being outside requires extra grit…it’s that sometimes hard to define quotient that had accelerated my servant leader growth.
To others, it may have sucked.
But it struck me that it’s a great analogy for life. When something hits you, rain or otherwise, do you brace for it and become trepidations or frustrated? Or embrace it? Squeeze out the value from it (like several of us had to squeeze out our shirts before North Lime)!

During the stretching, explained some things about humility
I’m qualified to teach humility because when it comes to being Humbler, I’m the best at it. A good quote for being humble is to “think less of yourself” – I could help them with this because no one thinks any less of our PAX than I do!

Why be humble? Proverbs 22:4: True humility…leads to RICHES, HONOR, & LONG LIFE

At the beginning of the WO, everyone claimed they could do 100 pullups – NO ONE did. They were humbled.

Went to the baseball entrance. Did 10 minutes of walk sits. When you had to stop, we ran one big lap around the parking lot and did 30 mercans. I think @swift did 10 minutes straight but you’ll have to ask him. We then did 10 hill sprints.

Tha Thang
Mosey up to the shelter coupons where Pax were given a history lesson regarding today’s workout. Little known fact, “(Don’t fear) The Reaper” was actually written about this workout, encouraging people to get out and try it. Producers liked the beat, but changed lyrics – dang corporate.
Pax partnered up and handled as follows:
Real manmakers x50
Each arm curls x100
Aussie mountain climbers x150
Pull-up the coupon x200
Each leg squats x250
Reverse crunches x300
After facing the REAPER, Pax ran a snake loop through the parking lot with a jailbreak after the last corner AYG to the flag. Mary time included 20 showcase fondas, 10 each leg, and a sunflower run.
2nd F announcements included 9-11 stair climb, and encouragement from Muck about “Freed to Lead,” one of the books from the F3 starters.
3rd F announcements included prayers for a number in our Pax regarding health matters, and praise and guidance for Buzzkill’s 2.0 and his baptism, praise God.
