We meet in the backside parking lot of the Fort Meigs Historic Site take Rapids Rd right before the bridge to Maumee to find us
What the ruck is a ruck? A hike with a weighted backpack (approx 30 lbs) while stopping along the brisk walk to do some invigorating exercise. Excellent 1st F (fitness) and 2nd F (fellowship). If an FNG (Friendly New Guy) is a bit timid to post for a workout the ruck is a great intro to the pax.

Workout: The Ruck of the Draw
FNG’s: N/A
Mission and Principles:
F3: Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission: To plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it is always:
1. Free of charge
2. Open to all men
3. Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
4. Led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
5. Ends with a Circle of Trust
The “Thang”:
Meandered along the Maumee riverwalk on both sides of the bridge with a couple of rounds of PT. PT was based on cards drawn from a Pinochle deck w/ two Jokers. Name association with exercise to suit drawn:
Heart = Gas Pumper
Diamond = Diamond Merkin
Club = Welsh Dragon
Spade = Ground Pounder
9 = 9
10 = 10
Jack = 15
Queen = 20
King = 25
Ace = 30
Drew two cards with one representing the number of reps and the other representing the exercise with a PAX choosing which was which. Joker draw immediately resulted in 10 Dirty Manmakers. Exercises performed were as follows (all with ruck):
Rd. 1 – 10 Dirty Manmakers
Rd. 2 – 10 Ground Pounders
Rd. 3 – 15 Ground Pounders
Rd. 4 – 25 Gas Pumpers
Runners were the following:
One Man Band
Coconut
Woodstock
Bourbon
Re-Load
Fossil
Ended with:
Count-O-Rama: 14
Name-O-Rama
The Six – Meatloaf – Got his name from Wedding Crashers. “Mom! The meatloaf!” Appreciates the mentorship that F3 provides on both ends and the ability to learn from and grow with those a couple miles ahead of him in life.
Ball of Man
Spreadsheets from the Gloom: Low 60s, humid, and quiet on the trail. Dirty Manmakers may have been a bit ambitious, especially with little warning.
Thanks for all who posted. It was a pleasure to lead.
