We are influencers in some sphere of influence we are in, whether at home, work, with PAX, or friends. How are you influencing in a positive direction or in a negative direction, F3 is about male leadership and we must be aware we are always leading and someone is always watching us lead. Not watching a creepy way…kids, friends, co-workers, and so on.

MOLESKIN:

 A LOT of soreness and discussion about the number of bear crawls the day before at SCT, causing some modifications for the group. Over all a great morning with the men of The Harbor.

Rump & Co. With DJ Icebox Take Over Lindsley:

Date – 1/29/2021
Weather – 40° and clear skies

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX –  DJ Icebox, Slushii, Oatmeal, Classified, Siesta, Big Tex, Agnes, & Swiper
QIC –  Rump Roast
AO – Lindsley Park
Disclaimer – Given 
 
Intro/ Warm-o-Rama:
21x SSH
15x IST
10x Veggie Pickers

The Thang:
– Run a warmup lap
5 Rounds of: 
– 25x SSH’s (SC)
– 20x Squats (SC)
– 15x Burpees (SC)
– 20x Merkins
– 25x Mountain Climbers
Sprint/Run the field and Bear Crawl back in between rounds

I’ll be honest, after the 5 rounds, all the rest was “on-the-fly”. We ran another lap, did some “Beee-inth” work and Mary to wrap it up.
 

Circle of Trust (CoT):
YHC prayed us out

Playlist:
fail

Moleskin:
Right off the bat, YHC heard mumble chatter about the amount of running. To be clear, while I’m not great at running, and it’s not my favorite thing to do… I’m trying to get better at it and believe I do a fair amount of running at most of my Q’s.  SO don’t be surprised when you show up to a Rump Roast beatdown and there’s running.  I asked the DJ Icebox for a “war” playlist and have to admit I should have elaborated what my “vision” was because the playlist was a turd floater for sure! 

There was lots of talk about Special Sauce not being there. Classified was so worried that it wasn’t like Sauce, he believed we should send a search party. “I don’t expect this from him”, Classified exclaimed at one point. Overall it was a great morning and start to the weekend with a group of guys I could not be more proud to be a part of.

YHC was disappointed to not see the #subarucrew after I promised light jogging and mumblechatter

Dirtbag was second guessing his decision to come out this AM when the first thing I asked him was “what do you want to do today”, admittedly YHC spent more time on building a playlist than thinking about the beatdown

Was a small intimate crowd, like when I used to spin acoustic covers at Glencoe back in the day but we got after it hard in the gloom

The ground had some frost on it so I announced at the start that we won’t be messing with that nonsense. F150 said that he wished Teasip would’ve been so observant yesterday

Not a lot of mumblechatter as we kept moving from spot to spot quickly to stay warm, solid full body workout

T claps to Big Tex who slayed the workout leading the PAX in just about every exercise we did today!

Announcements: CSAUPs are coming

Frosty Double Time

Swiper Michael Ryan and Slippy joined YHC for a frosty double time run this AM

The above mentioned, more athletic PAX cruised at a sub 8 minute pace and left me in their dust. So similarly to MRM I was alone but still managed to complete the loop twice before 0615

Mumblechatter was going strong after the run but a suspicious looking vehicle came in hot into the parking lot and beached themselves a few feet away from us so we called it a day

HBD Oatmeal!
