BOARDING ACTION!!

/in /by

FNGs: N/A

Warm Up: The Usual. F3 Mission Statement and 5 core principles were stated correctly.

The Workout: in today’s gloom we ran a competition pitting Queen Anne’s Crew (Gump, Flip Phone, and Finkle) against Vane’s Rebels across 4 stations of equipment and body weight exercises. With the help of a 50 second tabata timer, members of one crew would lift the heavy things and put them down (farmer carry, kettlebell swings, sandbag burpies, and curls for the girls) while the other crew did body weight exercises of their choosing (too many to name). The crews would switch and see if they could lift up heavy things better than that of their rival crew. 

See history lesson on Blackbeard and Charles Vane below.

Mary: No time!

Announcements: None

T-Claps (Recognition):

Prayer: Prayers for injured PAX and PAX on the job-hunt.

History Lesson: Blackbeard vs. Charles Vane

Charles Vane and Edward Teach — better known as Blackbeard — were both prominent pirates operating in the Atlantic during the early 1700s, and their rivalry stemmed from competition over territory and resources in the Caribbean and along the American coast. Vane was known for his brutality and refusal to accept pardons, while Blackbeard cultivated a fearsome reputation through theatrics and intimidation. Towards the end of Blackbeard’s life, the two were competing for dominance in pirate havens, and Vane’s aggressive tactics alongside Blackbeard’s declining influence created tension between their crews. Though they never directly clashed, their rivalry represented the cutthroat nature of piracy in that era — fitting inspiration for today’s beatdown.

The Workout: The main event started as one big group with a Burpee on the frisbee drop, but then a few more showed up, and we had to split into 2 games. 

Many discs were dropped, and many burpees and squats were performed, but we got the job done, and everyone walked away relatively unscathed.
