THA-THANG:
Four cones were set up in a rectangle across the grinder. Each person started at a different cone and did the first exercise there. Then they moved clockwise to the next cone by either bear crawling (shorter side of the rectangle) or doing a defensive slide (longer side of the rectangle). They then did the first exercise at the next cone and so on until they finished the first exercise at all four cones. Each time we completed four exercises, we ran up the troll bridge and did 10 bodybuilders before going back and moving on to the next set of exercises.

Exercises at each cone:
Cone #1

    • Goblet Squats – 20
    • Overhead CMU Lunges – 20 each leg
    • One Leg Deadlifts – 20 each leg
    • Step Ups – 20 each leg

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 7:13-14 says “Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and many take it, but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

I feel like this verse is applicable to anything we do in life. As F3 men, we walk a narrow road each day when we decide to wake up early and workout. We have to strive to take the narrow path in each and everything we do. Comfort and ease are the barriers to happiness and success.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Let the men know I RSVPed to GoRuck that I would not be attending Selection. Biggest reason to me was I had no WHY. I have struggled since I signed up to find my WHY and after the reality show joke that was Team Assessment I have basically decided I’m done with GoRuck challenge type events. Star Course is another story 🙂
MOLESKIN:
So this was worse than I remember it being when Moses and I did it last year. Turns out I added in too many Broad Jumps. My B.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It was a short word but here’s the rub: I made one short Facebook post after the convergence and over the course of the next day and a half had 10 potential HIM’s from various aspects of my life ask me about it and how they can get involved. Two of them are now posted at different AO’s in Knoxville and I’m in the process of head locking the rest. The lesson here is to be vocal, not in a boastful way, but in a way that inspires potential HIM’s around you to break out of a tired old rhythm and find the potential within themselves. Speak from the heart about what F3 means to you!
