Q: Safe Ride
Safe Ride welcomed the Pax of F3 Omaha to The Brickyard, Omaha’s coupon-featured AO in Stinson Park at 5:30am. The Mission Statement of F3 was flawlessly recited. Said mission is to plant, grow, and serve small men’s workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. The 5 core principles were recited: 1) it’s free; 2) open to all men; 3) held outdoors rain or shine; 4) peer led in a rotating fashion; 5) and ends in a circle of trust. Safe Ride is not professionals. There is a real risk of injury, so the men were instructed to modify as needed.
WARM-A-RAMA
The PAX left their coupons at the playground area and moseyed from the shovel flags around the track of Stinson Park and circled up at the playground for WAR:
THE THANG:

COT:
While in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Titanic hit an iceberg near midnight on April 14, 1912, and sank two hours and forty minutes later on the morning of April 15, 1912. Despite her size, she was only equipped with enough lifeboats for roughly half her passengers, due to outdated maritime regulations. Consequently, when the ship sank, she went down with more than 1,000 people on board. Most of those who jumped into the water died of cold shock in the freezing temperatures. In all, around 1,500 people of the 2,224 passengers died, making it one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters ever.
The RMS Carpathia arrived an hour and a half after the sinking; the last passengers in lifeboats were rescued around 9am on April 15th. The sinking of the Titanic shocked and outraged the world, leading to changes in maritime rules and the establishment two years later of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea.
