We started at 8:02. If you are a parent you understand why.

Discussed the mission of F3 for our friend Lumberg who joined us for the first time in a decade (did F3 in South Carolina years ago).

Pledged our allegiance to 2.0 Manchester who wore the colors of the flag since the Q (fourseam) and YHC didn’t have one. Kids got a kick out of it, apologies to the school teachers on Tuesday if the trend takes off.

Rapidly departed to a side parking lot for boys vs girls relay races. Boys took 1st in sprints and backward running.

Returned to the basketball court for wheel of pain driven family feud style 11’s. Read on for the instructions then you try and successfully explain it to children. Best of luck.

2 teams (boys vs girls) all stand outside of the basketball court in a line.

One participant from each team enters the center of the court, one person spins the wheel of pain.

On the other side of the court opposite of the teams there is a football and basketball

Whatever it lands on ALL participants do the exercise but whoever finishes first between the two people inside the court races to a ball and must complete a successful pass to their team. Whoever does this first gets a point.

Directions took a long time, needed tweaking but we had fun. Girls ended up winning 11-10. Wheel of pain seems to prefer certain workouts. Overrides took place.

We finished with a quick mosy, then COT, snacks and a kids bop dance party much to the irritation of the woman who parked in between all of our cars.

Great to get out with the kids and have some fun. MIAGD

15 gathered on this crisp Friday morning. Lots of ECers to get the morning started. We welcomed Test Tube from F3 Savannah.

Started with pledge and then a short mosey down the street to the Java Jive lot for a short warmup. Then partnered up for a good old fashioned Dora of merkins, LBC’s and squats with a pickle of up the stairs and around the building. Next we headed back across Kildaire to the RLS parking lot hill and performed 11’s up and down the hill. Low slow flutters at the top and squats and the bottom. Then a short mosey back to the flag just in time for COT.

Prayers for unspoken prayers and the beautiful fall weather. MIAGD and have a great weekend !

The promise of an upper body + core workout was kept and total mileage was maintained below two miles by most accounts (except those with an Apple watch). The legs were spared for the AMBRR tomorrow.

We stayed entirely within the park utilizing the picnic tables and bricks to make us stronger. Casserole/hot dish was enjoyed by most post workout and Joe Smith came through with a surprise helping of bagels and lox.

It was great celebrating 6 years of SWW with everyone. Looking forward to the next 6 years!

23 total F3 Dad’s and their 2.0s enjoyed a lovely first taste of fall weather and extended the no injury streak at South Cary’s most dangerous AO to 2.

The activities kicked off with the pledge of allegiance followed by a full speed mosey to the warm up spot. Good mornings, merkins, squats, side straddle hops, and lunges got everyone ready for the fun to come.

A mosey to the basketball court was followed by several balloon themed relay races and a couple animal relay races.

After that it was off to the baseball field for jump the creek and cross the ocean.

The Dad’s and 2.0s returned to the flag and welcomed two FNGs.

26 HIMs rose early on the first day of September to answer the question what have you done for me lately? August is in the past. September is a new beginning. Let’s go.

Against a VQ backdrop, we risked attempting a (maybe?) new concept of “Burpees on the Tens.” Every ten minutes, mostly on the clock, we dropped and did 5 burpees while working through various Thangs.

We moseyed to a warmup of good mornings, merks, and stretches. Moseyed some more for some side straddle hops and control freak merkins. Then:

Thang 1 – four corners with an increasing number of merks, squats, flutter kicks, and mountain climbers

Thang 2 – hill work with WW2s and LBCs

Back to the flag for some dying cockroaches, zombie crunches, and a tribute to the almost one footed Neon Deion Prime Time Sanders from the 92-93 Braves season, prime time merkins.

YHC appreciates the F3 nation. Enjoyed being a part of this for the last two months and look forward to more. Keep showing up.

MIAGD!

Grabbing some miles through DTC and the neighborhood.

TGIF!
7 for a bootcamp + 6 for a 9 miler of hills and such.

YHC showed up this time and did not sleep in, as freshly minted Site Q responsibilities and the Q motivated this HIM.

We kept things simple this morning with a mosey warmup to 4 corners around Snake Lake or Goose Poop Lake, whichever you prefer, and we did it with one light. Headlight season is coming upon us. Merkins, Squats, Irkins, and such. 11’s of Monkey humpers to H2M, then a round of Mary called by each PAX. (some forgot the Mary part). Wrap it up for COT, and then Coffee at the Camry (Folgers, always Folgers.)

Culture Week next week, and VQ week after that – come out and support (go for that 6 pack)
Prayers – lifting up the boys taking on the Leadville 100 – for safety and strength to finish. Prayers for my M as we found out yesterday her amniotic fluid is too low in her womb with our 4th baby, and seeing a specialist Monday. Thankful of all the support and everything F3 has been to me and my family these last 4 months.

MIAGD!

Feeling like I’m forgetting someone… Forgetfulness was in the air this morning. Our FNG of the Year frontrunner, Brie, fart sacked through his Q this morning. A larger fall from grace has perhaps never been experienced in the long and storied history of South Cary. Atonement is needed.

Nevertheless, our man Staubach stepped up and lead warmup and site Qs Kiffin and LifeAlert lead the PAX through Dora at Java Jive and some hill 7s by the lake. Mumble chatter mostly focused on concern for Brie.

Two runners combined EC and ME for 9 miles of hills. Congrats to If/Then for his first five mile EC.

Announcements:
1. The Caring Place service project Saturday morning. Contact Hermes for details.
2. TCP Sawgrass Sunday afternoon. Also contact Hermes.

Prayers and praises were shared.
