The QIC Snidely rolled up to the AO at 0450 to pre-ruck. The Titan Alley Murphers were ready to rock, but there was no murphing for the Stormbreakers today… they needed to get right for the beatdown that was brewing. Big Rig planted the flag and met Snidely and did a quick lap around the Stormchasers stadium before helping Snidely set up for the beatdown.

Coming back to the AO, a small but excited group of HIM were already gathered. At 0530, the QIC Snidely recited the words familiar to all F3 veterans and thanked them for the chance to lead today. All five core principles were said out loud, the mission was confirmed, and the credo was stated for all to hear. An important disclaimer was given – he is in fact not a professional and to modify as necessary. No FNGs, bummer.

Today’s workout was all about grinding it out… just 6 series of exercises. The COT would explain it all.

The mood was good. People were excited. Let’s do this!

WARMARAMA (0531)

Nothing fancy.

  • Mosey to the playground behind Prairie Queen Elementary…good enough!

THANG (0533)

The Thang today was a 2-man grinder. We partnered up into 3 teams.

Partner 1 (P1) runs a lap around the playground while Partner 2 (P2) starts AMRAPing the first exercise on the list below. P2 returns and AMRAPs that same exercise while P1 runs a lap. Next exchange, P1 moves to the next exercise on the list, and so on.

The estimated time around the playground was about 1 minute per lap . The chosen exercises hit on upper body, legs, and then core in each series.

COT (0617)

  • When we were kids, we cemented a promise with the “pinky swear.” As adults, it’s about integrity.
  • Quotes to Live By
    • “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” – C.S. Lewis
    • “It is true that integrity alone won’t make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.” – Zig Ziglar
    • “To me, integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences. It means being righteous from the very depth of our soul, not only in our actions but, more importantly, in our thoughts and in our hearts.” – Joseph B Wirthlin
    • “Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.” – Proverbs 19:1
      • This verse highlights the value of moral uprightness over wealth or eloquence when combined with a lack of wisdom. It emphasizes that integrity is more valuable than outward appearances or empty speech.
