Core Principles

IC Warmup:
SSH x 20
Windmills x 10
Potato Pickers x 10

The Thang:
11s style workout. 4 rounds, 8 min each with a 2 min run/rest inbetween

Round 1: Merkins & Squats
Round 2: SSHs & Imperial Walkers (2 is 1)
Round 3: Big Boys & American Hammers (2 is 1)
Round 4: Rows & Curls

The rounds were straight reps. No transportation inbetween. 10 Merkins then 1 Squat, 9 Merkins then 2 Squats, etc.

1st run we ran to the end of the blue building on the trail and by the time we got back the next round had already started. Changed the next run to the 2nd light pole. When we got back we typically had 20-30 sec of rest.

We didn’t get through Round 4 due to time. We completed 11 reps of each exercise then called it.

It was a great chilly morning somewhere in the single digits or close to, With windchill, it was close to zero. Movement kept us warm and the company was above par, as usual.

I love this group of men, the PAX of F3. Life without them would be vastly different. I am grateful.

As always it was an honor to lead.
