Preamble:

YHC arrived early at the AO to set up cones, lighting, tunes, boards of pain, drop off a few spare  cinders / sandbags and cover a potentially painful ant pile. YHC decided for forgo the use of a perfectly good turf football field for the damp and grassy circle (sometimes deemed the Thunderdome) by the north-most softball fields.  The previous day's pre-blast announced the change in flag location and HCs were actually submitted this week. 30 yards were marked out via cones for the PAX. At least 1 pre-runner and 1 pre-rucker arrived pre 0500 and as the other PAX started rolling in everyone spread out  to picked their coupon + spot on the starting line.  It was time for IPC 2024 Week 1 at The Norseman. 0530 was called with a quick intro and disclaimer. No mosey, but a quick Warm Up. BD instructions were given, questions answered, demos provided and details given on what the PAX should do after finishing the IPC BD to make the full use of the 45 minutes. Timers + EMOM started, music started...burpees, thrusters, 11s and a lot of traversing commenced.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always an honor and a privilege to lead. So 2 Years in F3. It has gone fast and been quite an experience. I've had some great adventures, had a few low points, and met some great men along the way. I would love to say that I'm at my top physical condition now since joining F3, but that was probably 11 months or so ago. Yet, unlike pre-F3...I'm not discouraged, but inspired as I know there is a path forward. Success will come with hard work. Build those guardrails to keep your divergence small and the journey is never over. Also there is more to F3 than the 1st F...though it helps drive the other Fs and make them possible. My 2nd and 3rd Fs are way up since joining F3...so I'll keep those plates spinning and I appreciate you all. SYITG !!!
