Workout: The Impossible AniMile
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: Unknown
This BB is being written 10 days after the beatdown, so I can’t remember the warmup. Probably SSHs.
The “Thang”:
Two lines of cones were spread apart 50m apart. PAX traveled to and from the far set of cones by animal MOT before switching to a new animal MOT. Full completion equaled to a half-mile of animal movements. The MOTs were the following, in order:
Inch Worm Crawl
Frog Jump
Crab Walk
Murder Bunny
Duck Walk
Ape hop
Alligator Crawl
Bear Crawl
Ended with:
Count-O-Rama: 5
Name-O-Rama
The Six – Sprocket
LDP3
Ball of Man
Spreadsheets from the Gloom: It was like the impossible mile, at the zoo. And it sucked. 100m of some of those movements was awful, but somehow Big Spoon still managed to finish just in time. And for as challenging as it was, it was not nearly as brutal as the impossible mile. Doubling the distance and cutting the number of MOTs in half might make it a solid comparison, as long as the alligator crawl is not involved. That exercise is awful.
