Conditions: Moist, cut grass, weeds, ant hills. Basically Old School Depot
23 pax (including FNG J.T.T.*) showed up today for some Iron Pax practice.
Nice of Coach K to welcome the new guy with this one. At least the pax was able to get a geography lesson today when said FNG (Josh Brewster) walked into the circle and first shared he was from the Upper Pennisula of Michigan. You know “the little part” above Wisconsin. Took maybe 2 seconds for the pax to go from Mittens to Dangler to “J.T.T” (h/t Tent Pole). * Initials used to keep family friendly
Welcome also to Red Tape. A survivor from Arrowhead (Newberry AO), Who remembers, that launch? Was good to see handful of pax raise hands who were in attendance almost 4 years ago to the day.
4 minute warning (since there were 15ish pax already there – anxious for today’s challenge)
1 minute warning (standard)

Tclaps to our own Tentpole who posted best time of 21:04…..or, if you’re inputting correctly for the challenge 00:21:04.
Moleskin: Mumblechatter was basically non-existent today. (It’s hard to be snarky when you have to count as high as 50). Tclaps to Soft Toss for providing the tunes today. Was good seeing everyone give what they could. Beasts, Clyesdales all got what they gave today. No man was left behind and many picked up the 6.

August Challenge – ends August. (Thanks Moose/Whitney for clarifying) Great job of men getting better with all 3 Fs this month! 21 is #UTP Status and will be invited to HH at Stagecoach’s place in a few weeks.
September Challenge: Iron Pax. Finishers (all weeks) will be recognized.
Devo: Burpees may not be your thing. Drinking beer may not be your thing. Reading the Bible may not be your thing. But all are the 3Fs that make up F3 – Fitness, Fellowship, Faith.
If you currently don’t do a nightly devotion, or read the Bible, or say prayers each evening, or go to church, it’s time you start with @F3Legacy. Stick around each Tuesday for 30ish minutes and learn from some #HIM who share scripture as well as life applications. Start somewhere. Get better. Go home and take to your family. Be better.
We don’t sing hymns. We’re not gonna make you share any testimony. We’re just gonna be guys growing in the Word and sharing/learning from each other as husbands, fathers, workers.
