1. How did you get your F3 name?
2. What do you remember from your first workout?
3. What made you decide to come out to that first workout?
4. What made you decide to keep coming after that first workout?
CoT featured everyone sharing one thing they learned about their fellow PAX – this was a great chance to share about our fellow PAX and practice for learning about FNGs during the workouts!

Quick mosey to Sunnyside Mansion to show them that we’re all Men from U.N.C.L.E. This phase of the workout honors Jesse “Uncle” Wilker who flew in from Charlotte, NC to teach a handful of us about F3 and prep us for launch approximately 3650 days ago.

Drop one rep and repeat all the way down to 1 Jump Squat and a shuttle.
Sticking around the courts, PAX circled up for everybody’s favorite jerk, Jack Webb: Merkins and Air Presses in a 1:4 ratio. We took this one all the way up to 10:40, and everyone LOVED it.
Mosey to Sunnyside Hill
Lining up with previous partner at the base of the hill, P1 performed LBCs while P2 sprinted up to the flag. RnR x 3.
Since we didn’t get here alone, one last AYG with everybody together up the hill before a mosey back to the startex.

MOLESKINE:
It was truly an honor to lead this workout. I had no idea what the heck I was getting into 10 years ago, but I’m glad I didn’t let that stop me. Really grateful for the all the men that have stepped up to lead along the way. Whether it’s been as a workout Q, an AOQ, or a position at the regional level, you are making me and countless others better for it. I don’t take that for granted. Nor should you.
Can’t wait to see what the next decade holds!
Also, a special thanks to all of you who brought coffee, baked goods, and other refreshments for extended coffeeteria. What a great way to end!
BULLHORN:
Prayers for job changes, job searches, ailments, and recoveries.

PA Bread Bottom Slice
Upon issuing a Happy New Year welcome and standard disclaimer, PAX set off on a medium mosey up and around Sunnyside Mansion as we made our way to the basketball court for a raucous COP mostly backed by Blondie’s “Call Me.” The extra challenge to stay on beat was much appreciated.
Quick yog to the tennis court for 11s from alley to alley. Jump Squats and 4ct Mountain Climbers with a wall sit for the six. We also had a visit from a nearby neighbor who complained to Michelin Man about how Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” stirs up too much emotion in her and is making her NYE hangover worse so could you turn it down please?

MOLESKINE:
From Foxtrot:
Happy New Year F3 Men!!
Having 36 willing participants for Stonewall’s first post of the year was definitely a treat. As I sit here nestled on my couch, the pain of yesterdays tenuously choreographed 60 minute workout symphony rings in my ears (and my lower leg parts).
MVP was Princess Aurora. From the beginning stretches, the circuit audible, the Mary intensity, the closing prayer and his brave “I’ll go first” ice plunge.
Honorable mention goes to my wing man Yard Sale. Set up and break down of the ice chamber and tiki torch ensemble was much appreciated. Not to mention the ice contribution!!!
Highlight of the workout goes to DFrost. His smile when hearing all the 80’s throwback music was beautiful. And him unfurling his love sword when getting into the ice bath was truly priceless.
The ‘until next time’ award goes to the Franklin crew. Their unwillingness to try their first ice bath post F3 workout was understandable. We will bring it again next year!!
BULLHORN:
TAPS for the families of the sick and those we lost this year.
Please continue to pray for Spicoli’s family. There will be a celebration of his life on January 8 at City Church Franklin.
Also please pray for Franklin’s Snoop as he is battling serious complications from COVID right now. You can also support his family here.
May you be courageous in your goal-setting and tenacious in your pursuit!
PA out.

YHC arrived about 10 minutes early and found traveling salesman Zalinsky from Rock Hill in town for a wedding. Breadsticks and others appeared in time for the 0600 kickoff.
At 0600, YHC gave a condensed version of the Disclaimer and then set off on a Mosey to the Gale Lane Community Park for our Warm-O-Rama.

THANG 1:
DORA 1-2-3
Partnered up as a trio
150 x Merkins
300 x LBCs

Between each movement, mosey to halfway point around the loop where one person did LBCs (uncounted) and the previous LBC person would then run the reminder of the loop.
Upon completion, countdown from 30-1 was called out, then we moseyed back to STARTEX for THANG 2.
THANG 2:
Real American/Merkin Routine
YHC grabbed his phone from his ride and played Rick Derringer’s classic “Real American”
During Verse 1, Overhead Press AMRAP
During Chorus 1, Real Merkins AMRAP
During Verse 2, Windmills AMRAP
During Chorus 2, Real Merkins AMRAP
Another 30 second countdown, then mosey to the corner of the park nearest the intersection of 12th Ave S and Kirkwood for THANG 3.
THANG 3:
Simple Sprints
One PAX run from the bridge to end of the path where the walkway does a zig-zag/switchback.
The other 2 perform Lt. Dans while waiting their turn.
End when all 3 have their turn to sprint.
At long last, a sprint to STARTEX where we had approximately 5 minutes to spare and witnessed the runners returning just in time to join us for MARY.

MOLESKINE:
Always an honor to lead, and as usual, the Men of Stonewall put in a fantastic effort this AM. Thank you for letting me take point for an hour!
Welcome to F3 Nashville, brother Zalinsky from THE ROCK aka Rock Hill. It was a pleasure meeting you and having you in attendance today!
BULLHORN:
TAPs for all families (including the Michelin Man family) that are experiencing various health challenges right now.

See you all on the flip side.
