Preamble:
YHC grabbed this date a few months ago knowing it was F3 Alpha's 9 year anniversary. Never did I imagine we would have 57 PAX come join in on the fun. Knight Rider had the idea of bringing the Norseman clan over to celebrate and the idea ignited from there. A mini-convergence was born and what would otherwise be a normal Thursday turned into a big celebration. Nacho Libre jumped onboard to Co-Q and several PAX signed up for coffee and donuts. YHC posted this message yesterday to Slack and 43 PAX officially HC'd, which is the most I've ever seen. "It's been 9 years since a very generous group of men came down from Charlotte, NC to help "giveaway" the gift we call F3 to men they did not know. They stayed overnight in hotels to ensure they instilled the core principles of F3 in the Alpha doing both beatdown and classroom training. They named the first AO in northern Atlanta "The Rubicon", meaning the die had been cast, signifying a meaningful boundary had been crossed, with no turning back. The men of the Alpha have grown this original AO into dozens of AO's, multiple sub-regions, and even spawned new regions, making an impact on thousands of men". 57 PAX actually showed up with dozens of pre-runners and pre-ruckers. 5:30AM came and after a a few words and quick disclaimer, off into the gloom we went.Warm-O-Rama:
Mosey to the pool parking lot doing high knees and karoake along the route. Circle up for:- SSH
- Weed Picker
- Imperial Walker
- 21's (SSH with Q counting to 5 in cadence, then silence until 21 when all the PAX must stop in cadence). Burpee penalty was paid on round 1.
- 21's round 2 was a success!
- Burpee Apocalypse (10, 9, 8, etc) with "get out of jail free" skips for getting the 5 core principles of F3 correct and in sequence
