The Thang:

Thing 1: 8 Cones for 5 Rounds

  • 2 exercises on each cone
    • Regular exercise
    • Movement exercise
  • PAX performed the regular exercise then used the movement exercise to travel to the next cone.
  • Starting cones were coupon cones
  • PAX were split up into 2 groups to start on different coupon cones
  • Completing all 8 cones was 1 round.

COT:

  • Lots of activities at the Hooch that I didn’t write down:

    • Ballboy’s doing a pool party for some 2ndF. Check Slack for dates.
    • Bushwood is a seasonal swim AO starting up 5/23 at 6:00 at 10150 Groomsbridge Road.  Thankfully details are on Slack.

 

Continued prayers for the Valencia family in the tragic passing of an F3 Cherokee brother, Goldberg.  There’ll be a F3 Cherokee Convergence in his honor at Fowler park on Wednesday, 5:30.

Prayers for McGuire’s friend, Marcel, who tragically lost his sister in a car accident.

Prayers for Meatball’s father-in-law, Gene, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

The Hooch carries a big presence in F3 Alpha.  It was a gift to lead these men and share the gloom with them.  Until next time!
