F3 is a leadership organization. Check out the focus of F3 leadership on the newly revamped f3nation.com and listen to Dark Helmet’s address here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbSTDi1ioJw&t=3288s

I’m reflecting on what it means to be a leader from reading the book by Simon Sinek called Leaders Eat Last.  If we are a leadership organization what does that look like:

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.

HC thankful for you brothers.

Find your Why here are 3:

Don’t cry for Last Call, he is in South American bird hunting, but do say something kind to someone, because you never know what they are going through.

We are lifting up a particular brother today struggling with thoughts of Suicide.

A whopping 17 of the areas finest looking fellas came out to enjoy the plush fields of Huguenot Park. Conditions were an ideal sunny and 70 with the turf in perfect condition to enjoy. After some tying and retying of shoes, we were off to enjoy the morning. Here is how things went down.

Mosey to the 1st field to confirm conditions. Circle up for Introductions, salutations and short motivational speech. Warmups included SSH’s, Helis, Hillbillies, Arm Circles, Dead Man Hang, LBC’s, Reverse Crunches and 6″ hold. Quick announcement of lights were left on a truck, Machismo seemed OK with it so lets get going.

THE THANG: Quarter Pounder (Lady of the Night Style). Line up on the touch line. Run to the bridge (25+/- yards) to perform 25 Merkins, return to touch. Repeat Merkins then continue to bleachers (50+/- yards) perform 50 WWII’s (crowd favorite as YHC had to reconfirm the # numerous times, must be losing my voice). Circle back to perform 25 Merkins and return to touch. Repeat Merkins, WWII’s and continue to 1st tree (75+/- yards) for 75 squats. Circle back with 50 LBC’s, 25 Merkins then touch. Repeat Merkins, WWII’s, Squats then onto the fence for 100 flutters (2 count). Repeat Squats, LBC’s, Merkins then touch.

Thang 2: Mosey to the parking lot poles for triple check. Timer runs around 4 islands while partner perform pole smokers and curb crawls.

MBTTF with a stop along the way at the bridge for 20 dips. Names, Numbers, Announcements. Doozy took us out. YHC brought out some sweet corn for the PAX to enjoy.

NMS: Incredible summer time numbers with many regulars enjoying the turf conditions. Good mumble chatter in muggy conditions. Good to have NTB get back into the fold after work had kept him away for a few weeks. Corn was plentiful and enjoyed by the PAX, including Machismo who is either feeding a family of 20 or generating ethanol for his gas powered vehicles. Thank you gents for the opportunity to lead. Always good being with you guys in the gloom.

22 men showed up at Huguenot Little League to show their best Ohtani and Judge impersonations – only 6 men were successful in hitting the ball out of the park, and only 1 man (Orange Crush) left the yard twice. Congrats to OC on winning the 2024 HR Derby and congrats to the PAX for doing well over 100 Burpees, among other exercises. Maybe next year, Outs will equal APDs?

We assembled in right field for some COP and light calisthenics and warm-up, and also to collect names for the batting order. Directions were given – 3 Swings, anything other than a HR is an Out, each Out = 3 Burpees for the fielders and a lap for the batter, each HR deletes a lap for the batter and allows the batter to choose a substitute exercise for the fielders. Then it was time for the main event.

A lot of 3-out = 9 burpee performances, unfortunately, but I guess it makes us stronger. And, resulted in the end of the batting order barely being able to swing. Crabgrass, Rudy, 3 Doors Down, McRib and Meatball each launched 1 HR. OC launched 2. Those guys graced us with merkins and squats instead of Burpees.

We cleaned up, dusted off, and returned to the Flag for COT, numbers, names, announcements and prayers. YHC took us out with thanks for the ability to be kids again this morning.

Only 1 announcement – James River Float – August 11 – see slack for details

Naked Moleskin:.sometime the hardest thing seems to be just getting up. I’ve thought about how f3 makes me just a little less lazy. How the barrier to just pick up something your dropped when your you’re fit or work on a relationship is slightly smaller. You have the energy to do the small things and that adds up to being able to do the big things. My friend Maria was at church this Sunday after having her abdomen sliced open and her insides moved around in a seek and destroy mission for the cancer that is llaguing her body. She was able to do this because she was firA friend Andy Rice ambled into church this Sunday half leaning but by himself one step in front of the other. He did that because it was his habit. At F3 our mission through fitness faith and fellowship is the invigorate male community leadership. We exercise our 3Fs because it reduces the barriers when things get hard ..Surround yourself with people who have the same goals as you. rise together. ============

9 Hims circled their sixes around the glorified fields of No Toll. We all came expecting some Gumbo and all we got was some cheese. We had three OG virgins in Rudy, Blue Moon, and Coin Toss. On the Q sheet Blue Moon and YHC found room to enter our names and numbers for the OG but something seems off on this sheet. If someone else knows of an old Glory tally sheet please post on slack.

I’m thankful for the expansion of my tribe through F3 and encourage others to go out and find theirs.

Prayers for Maria who just got out of an invasive surgery to eradicate cancer yesterday. For Wildcat going in for scans to manage his stage 4 lung cancer. For Huton’s sister who’s cancer returned. I encourage everyone to find their tribe and then circle their wagons around those people. Lift eachother up.

For those who can looks like June 24th is Wildcat Q at the Alamo.

14 not 15 disc hucking studs whet the fields of No Roll and one left his sole in the turf. No seriously,

Snip ran right out of the bottom half of his cleats.

YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

Naked Moleskin:

Throwing around UFO makes me think a bit of supernatural things. I believe that we live not in a natural world with supernatural events but in a supernatural world suppressed.  We see only what the light illuminates. As a Christian I reflect on these two passages:

John 8:12  I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. 

Psalm 18:27-29  You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud.  You light a lamp for me The LORD, my God, lights up my darkness.  In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.  

I want to recognize two people that are facing challenges right now.  The first is my Friend Maria.   Maria has desmoplastic small round cell tumors a type of sarcoma that develops in the connective tissue of the body. She goes to NY today for testing in preparation for a future surgery to take place there. They will analyze the effectiveness of the chemotherapy she has undergone.  Our prayer is that cancer has receded from her liver.

Second, is for my nephew Bollywood (Josiah Renes).  Who spent his first night in accommodations provided by the US Military.  My prayer is that he will grow in his faith and he will expand his limits.

11 SOJ Titans emerged for the ideal conditions that presented us this morning. After some brief salutations and greetings, we were off to enjoy the treats that the finest fields in Chesterfield had to offer.

Circle up on the plush turf for introductions and disclaimers, followed up by a brief warm up that included SSH, DQ, Helis, Jazzercise, LBC, Dead Bugs, Merkins and Superman (with vocal harmonies). Let us begin the THANG

Mosey to behind the dumpsters to collect the long neglected coupons. Find a few of your closest compadres for a triple check. Round 1 bench press, wiper merkins (these sucked) while timer runs a loop around the 4 islands. Round 2 included curls for the girls, rows with timer running out and back. Return coupons to the resting place.

Mosey to the wooden post for Indigenous Pole Smokers. PAX holds legs 6″ while a selected person performs 5 Pole Smokers and runs to the next available pole. Continue to the end of the line.

100’s (or some numbers). Line up at the wood line of the fields. Brocode mosey under the pavilion where designated PAX member calls out an exercise and # of reps. 1st to complete said number announces their success and releases the PAX to continue running across the opposite field and earns the honor of announcing the next exercise. Exercises included 50 dips, 40 incline merkins, 50 groiners, 30 WWII’s, 40 squats.

Slow (non Doozy) Mosey back to the flag for 40 seconds of plank. Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers. SOJ Fiesta at Casa de DTH tonight. Buttery Nipples and Purple Hooters a plenty. Prayers to Machismo and props for recognizing an upcoming issue early enough to take control. Prayers to DTH as his M’s family works thru some health issues. YHC took us out.

NMS: Good group of No Toll regulars enjoyed the plush non moist fields. Conditions were ideal for Ultimate but YHC had other plans. Title applies to those that attended. Well done fellas, great work this morning.
