OUR FOUNDATION

THE THREE Fs OF F3

Fitness is the magnet, Fellowship is the glue, and Faith is the purpose.

1. Fitness

Workouts take place outdoors in all weather conditions—rain, shine, heat, or snow. Led in rotation by participants, workouts adapt to all fitness levels.

2. Fellowship

Strong bonds formed in the Gloom bleed over into 2nd F lunches, coffee socials, and genuine male friendship that combats isolation.

3. Faith

Defined simply as belief in something bigger than yourself. We empower men to give back and lead in their families, workplaces, and local communities.

Ultimate- Chess club vs Vegans

Q: MARTA
PAX: 9
PAX Present:
Chandelier Mayo Shank Paris Yeti MARTA (Q)+3 more

Gentlemen, it's time for a reminder on what F3 stands for.. I'll give you a hint... they all start with F - not your marks in Collage (as I once said I was going to Collage in a HS freshman paper). Fitness,.F...., Faith.. A few of us meet the standard on the former, we do pretty well at the latter. The middle.. does not mean Frisbee - for sure for none met any sort of a standard this AM.. but Fellowship... akin perhaps this week the FrESPYs. It's time to fellowship with your fellow man - nay - something more grand - Frisbee-er and RSVP for next weekend's cook-out of merriment and feats of strength. Details below - WoMu welcome! I digress again.. but this morning's weather was none but perfect - alas the Frisbee was not. Teams were split, shields were shattered, and the game was off. One would have thought the chess team battled the debate nerds or a bunch of Vegans out there- as turnovers abounded. @Marta resumed his stellar play from a week prior throwing 4 scores (2 hammers) and hockey assist early. He let yellow know of the absolute the quality they were up against. Shortly thereafter, he entered the ranks of the common throwing turnover after turnover - even being beat (barely) deep by @pinkeye. The joust pax let him have it and the chirping against @marta begins. On a side note - everyone loves a good heel. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was the first and perhaps the best.. I'm happy he's mentioned with me as one of the best heels of all time and the I'll continue to keep the banter going every friday. One day Dwyane may live up to my cheating ways. Regardless, I'm not sure what, if anything, positive came out of the game - I got a few hand blocks and a scraped knee? Points were traded until red forgot how to score. Turnovers abounded >3x # of points actually scored... and the bootcampers considered showing us a thing or two. @aoli was a defensive force - though actively lobbied that the disc was smacked out of @pinkeye's hand.. no he just lost his grip. @yeti played a solid game while @shank was hobbled - and did not complete his lefty attempt. @fruity got lost in Boyce park and nearly missed the game. @peaches and @Cayman might have been the only ones to play well - though replay footage is missing. Yellow pulled away.. red tried to make it close.. Let's forget this one and play again next week. There's always early retirement if it doesn't workout Announcements: -RSVP for the FrESPYs - sign up or respectively/disrespectively decline - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ehPeJ364JO7IYdzhhVJR85T9cd-V_HAlX5zVi3fZfy8/edit?usp=sharing - Bolstered by KGB - Pinkeye is starting a BRR team for 2027 - sign up with him.

Strings Fudd Cheese Curd Redline Timex The Worm +2 more

WARMUP: Unnecessary. Got right into the fun! THE THANG: Took a lap through the murderhorn, back up Ballantyne commons, and got an up-close look at the Wegmans. 3.6 miles later, it was a better morning than I could’ve imagined. Great weather, great pax, and a great pace Cheese Curd led the pack with a sheer determination to maximize his pace while still being able to hear soft_pretzel. Speaking of Soft Pretzel, it was great to hear about Montana. Glad to hear you did well and are recovering. Fudd gave me the secrets of how to best stack headlamps for maximum visibility. Can’t wait to mow my lawn at 4am armed with this new knowledge Strings and I caught up at the end to find that we both went to The Citadel. Glad he’s found us in SOB as he’s in South Park (for now) Timex and Redline had a great time, and they threw in some merkins on top of the route because they don’t know any other way. Great to have y’all out this morning! Glad The Worm made it out and caught up with us at the end MARY: She didn’t show up ANNOUNCEMENTS: Beer ruck/run on 10/24 and Terror Trails on 10/31 COT: A lot to pray for in the Circle and in the world.
