Workout: 24hrs Of F3 – The Ruck
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
Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him
Warm-up: N/A
The “Thang”:
Rucked around the perimeter of Fallen Timbers mall. Passed around 3 blocks during the duration. Stopped every 5 minutes or so to perform rucked merkins and squats. Probably totaled ~180-200 squats and 70-80 merkins.

Dole Whip
Fat Amy

Ended with:

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: 51 and dry. Perfect ruck weather. This one was pretty horrible. Out of the 8 ruckers, only 5-6 of us were able to carry a block, so the three blocks went a long way. The fatigue from the merkins and squats didn’t make it any easier. Though that was by design. Intent of this ruck was to fatigue lungs and muscles as much as possible prior to the 24hrs Of F3 Beatdown that followed so that PAX felt closer to how I felt during the 24 hour CSAUP. It wasn’t perfect, but it was the best I could do without bringing out a bunch of extra props for PAX to carry.
