MOLESKINE:
F3 Nashville has been without a 3rd F Q for a while. The SLT is now focused on growing the 3rd F. 3rd F is how HIMs are engaging with their community physically through service as well as emotionally and spiritually. Questions to consider: How do you serve your community? What are your daily spiritual habits? How are you creating meaningful connection in your community to grow emotionally and spiritually?

We men spend a lot of time hiding what’s on our hearts and minds. If you heard something today during our COT, reach out and mention it to the person you heard it from. Share how it resonated with you, share how you’re thinking about them, or encouraging them, or praying for them. Studies show that men engage in meaningful conversation while doing activities. Invite a HIM on a hike, invite him to work on a project with you, invite him out for a beer.
Whatever it is, let’s practice getting connected. It makes us better men which in turn affects our loved ones and our communities for the better.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: oh my God so many

Q: Vector , Natural Ice
PAX: Pep, DintyMoore, CubCadet, bluemule, Hipster, Wolfpack, Cropduster, GameStop, Squatter (F3 Muletown), Spinal Tap, Tim the Toolman, Choo Choo, West Ham (Willy Lohman)
FNGs: None
COUNT: 15
Several months ago, Natural Ice and I were asked to Co-Q a Battle of Playlists Epic Q at Titan. Yet, the two of us are not fighters; hence, we pooled our powers to craft the GREATEST PLAYLIST OF ALL TIME (or GPOAT)! The theme was unstated, leaving the PAX to wonder what was this madness. Kudos to Pep who called the theme by song #3: A Weird Al tribute with the regular songs during Half Vector and the Al parodies for Half Ice.

CONDITIONS: Humid yet perfect

WARMUP: Mosey to front of Parthenon (aka Where the Giant Head Lives), only to find an equally weird potty training set up care of Cocomelon. SSH, LBAC, Overhead Raises, Seal Claps, RLBAC, and Imperial Walkers to start the show.

THE THANG:
Half Vector:
Playlist:
– Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
– I Love Rock ‘N Roll – Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
– Like a Virgin – Madonna
– Bad – Michael Jackson
– Pretty Fly (for a White Guy) – The Offspring
– Gangsta’s Paradise – Coolio

DORA with partner, who runs counterclockwise around oval: 100 merkins – 200 Dips – 300 Iron Mikes – 400 squats

Half Ice
Playlist:
– Smells Like Nirvana – Weird Al
– I Love Rocky Road – Weird Al
– Like a Surgeon – Weird Al
– Fat – Weird Al
– Pretty Fly for a Rabbi – Weird Al
– Amish Paradise – Weird Al

DORA with partner, who runs clockwise around oval: 100 Amish Merkins (aka Incline Merkins) – 200 Accordion Step Ups – 300 Eat It Crunches (feet on bench) – 400 Tacky High Knees (“exaggerated form encouraged”)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Night Moves tomorrow at Titan. CSAUP in August.

COT:
Prayers for work, safe travels, visas. Much praise of the playlist was overheard among the PAX. Words like “brilliant,” “fantabulous,” and “masterpiece” were bandied about. Ultimately all agreed: A ++++ with one more + to grow on.

Mosey to Startex.

MOLESKINE:
– Maybe my shortest backblast ever. With my big toe on the mend, I focused on core, keeping jumping and toe-bending activities to a minimum. No burpees or bear crawls to get on CubCadet’s good side. Feedback is always welcome.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Convergence at greenmachine tomorrow for ultimate frisbee and Nantan handoff

Goblet of Ice Trifecta – Round 1- Triforce of Power

AO: titan
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Chunks, Papa Bear, Cropduster, Sherlock, GameStop, Pep
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
Conditions: Sweat-soaked and glorious
Warm-O-Rama:
We kicked things off with Side Straddle Hops and a round of dynamic runner’s stretches, which successfully faked out Pep into thinking we were headed for a long run. In reality, I just needed a stretch after too many miles this week. Mission accomplished.

The Thang:
Cinder blocks were retrieved, and we headed to the hill for a devious round of 11s:
– Bottom of the Hill: Blockie Burpees
– Top of the Hill: WWI Sit-Ups
–
But wait—there’s more. Because I’m a glutton for punishment, each trip up or down the hill had its own special challenge:
1. Carry a cinder block
2. Bear crawl up
3. Crawl bear down
4. Crab walk down
5. Lunges uphill
6. Run backward uphill
7. Sprint (plan run)
8. High knees
9. Side shuffle (switch sides halfway)
10. Lieutenant Dan (lunge + squat combo)

We may have gone one minute over time… but the hill demanded it.

Moleskin:
Today marked my 5th year in F3 and the first of three consecutive Qs in the Goblet of Ice Trifecta.

After completeing the the Triforce of Power we have two more lined up:
– Triforce of Wisdom: Thursday at Green Machine
– Triforce of Courage: Friday at Handsomizer

COT:
Prayers lifted for the men of Stronghold walking through the fire tonight.

Announcements:
– 4th of July convergence at Handsomizer – final details TBD
– Upcoming CSAUP involving teams of 5 – details coming soon

SYITG,
Natural Ice
