T-Claps (Recognition): great teams @sombrero
Prayer: none
FNG: Doogie! Welcome
Warm-up: 5:15am sharp (SSH, Good Mornings, WMH, SFAC)
About the time we were doing GM’s and WMH…over 10 PAX were walking into the Warm-up circle. YHC noticed a lack of urgency for being late. We continued with the Mission Statement (3 burpee penalty) Tried again with the Mission Statement (3 burpee penalty). Core values 100% (no penalty) About this time based on the honor system of those that walked up late we did a raise of hands and counted by 5 per person late. Late to ME Burpee penalty administered by Q = 55. Total Burpee Penalty for Standard infraction = 61. (Could be a horrible F3 record to keep)
Hence the PAX were warmed up for a 4 team split. 3 Merkins on the drop and 2 squats on the drop. 2 point scored if inside the goalie box. Lots of great catches, throws, hustle and knockdowns across the board!
Announcements: Q’em all challenge (QAC), Ruck sack for sale to raise money for QAC, Memorial Day Murph (Banana Seat), If your late to an AO…don’t walk.

None
Warm Up:
Standard Warmup, including the Mission Statement, 5 Core Principals, and the 15 Penalty Burpees associated with the failure to know when called upon.
The Workout:
26 PAX this morning for a crisp April morning game of UFO. We apparently still need to update the website to ensure the start time is updated to 0515 because we had 6 – 8 of the 26 show up after 5:15, I’m pretty sure they still owe ~15 burpees because they missed the warmup, haha. Great work to all the HIMs that showed up, it is always great to get out and get our weeks started out right.
Mary:
Cleanup of the field
Announcements:
@finkle stepping up to take over the Nest, the mission is to Plant, Grow, and Serve. For anyone who is part of the Grow, but not yet taken up the Serve, think about what you can do to take the next step. Without it, the “Plant” will die.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Good Work to those that stuck around to complete the #corechallenge Day 6.
Prayer:
Fox Family, Struggling PAX both Monetarily, Family, Faith, and Health. Our leaders and soldiers on the frontline
5 PAX huffed pollen at đ´ââ ď¸Mutinyđ´ââ ď¸ as we worked our way through stations while 2000s pop-punk sound waves filled the air.
Well done!
Banana Seat Play-Doh Abacus the OG Sombrero
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.Â
See history lesson on Blackbeard and Charles Vane below.
Mary: No time!

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 â better known as Blackbeard â 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 â fitting inspiration for today’s beatdown.
Warm Up:Â Started the warm-up with some Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, and Willy Mays Hays to get the muscles moving before the main event.Â
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.Â
Many discs were dropped, and many burpees and squats were performed, but we got the job done, and everyone walked away relatively unscathed.Â
Announcements: Q them all and set a number of weekly workouts challenges are active and running. If you complete the Q-Them all challenge, you will receive a custom shirt.Â
Prayer- General Prayers Â
