This was a no-frills, by-the-book F3 bootcamp workout. K.I.S.S. and you will still get smoked pax. Lots of exercise inspiration from Mic Check, Escargot and Snowflake though — wall walks, curcuits and using the blacktop wisely.

It was a soggy one, but misery for misery’s sake is reserved for GORUCK Challenges, so we kept to the blacktops instead of the slop fields, and many M’s did rejoice on this day.

Fraggle had a surprise ruck workout last Wednesday at The Maul — that must explain his new-found speed on the track this morning. I spied Lobster Roll across the lot executing perfect-form Merkin Jacks. Tiger Rag would be so proud. I didn’t see everyone’s work on the set of 7s, but I saw lots more pax executing slow, controlled movements and excellent form.

Welcome to today’s FNG R. Burnett, now known forevermore as “Captain Planet.” Strong work, brother, and we hope to see you out again soon.

According to Sprague’s Buck Rogers Wrist Transponder we covered 1.3 miles. Not bad.

Side note to Young Love: the call phrase is “Sun’s out, guns out.” I didn’t see any sun this morning.
