FNG – Gusset
Promptly at 5:15 the Q welcomed the PAX Members to a balmy 5 degree morning with blizzard conditions. I introduced myself and explained the following: F3 stands for Fitness, Fellowship and Faith and we are going to focus on the First F this morning. F3 exists to plant grow and serve small work out groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. We have five core principles – we are open to all men, we are free of charge, we always meet outside, we are led in a rotating fashion and we always end in a circle of trust. Here at the combine we never leave a man behind and we will never leave a man behind. If there are any FNG’s speak up now…I am not a professional so modify as necessary.
Q was promised and FNG but he was a no-show so we left…more to come on that.
Q explained that we were going to retreat into the neighborhood to attempt to stay away from the wind and do a string of pearls. Q had mapped the route the previous night to ensure it was runnable but repeated the route that morning to ensure the snow didn’t make it impassable. Conditions were adequate so we proceeded.
Route ran through the neighborhood in a reverse direction than what was driven and we stopped occasionally to perform 15 reps of whatever felt right for the PAX. At about 1.5 miles we were running up the third hill which I thought was a good idea when I was driving because I thought it would be fun to make it hard when out of the snowy gloom emerged Chicken Hawk and the FNG who had arrived later than 515 because they got the start time wrong. Rather than sit in their cars or go home…they took off into the neighborhood and somehow found us in the frozen suburbian hell that is the West Combine. We collected ourselves, and ran back to the school.
At 2.1 miles we stopped at the west side of the school partnered up. Partner 1 moved down the hill as fast as they could while partner two did wall sits. We switched and after Partner 2 was done Omaha was called and we returned to the flags.

When your wife takes you to get a pedicure…paint your nails. And when someone makes fun of your son for painting their fingernails, resist the urge to strangle the kid…paint your nails and volunteer at the school so they can see it.
