Indian run with last man doing scissor jump to bridge
Bear crawl bridge. Partner 1 bear crawls while partner 2 does 10 merkins, 10 squats, 10 lbcs then runs to other side of bridge before picking up and continuing to bear crawl where partner 2 was. Partner 2 runs to start and does exercises. Rinse and repeat until there and back.
Wosey to Second St. C2C (corner to corner). Short sprint from start of Second St to Shipcarpenter Square, stopping and planking in-between each roadway/intersection. The sugar rays hold a plank until 6 is in then sprint to next stop.
3rd F on “all it takes is all you got”
AYG (all you got). One pax gets in middle of circle and calls an exercise for all pax to do until he gives AHG (all he got). We did merkins, 6 inches, four count freddys and x’s and o’s.
Mosey to courts for COT and handing the shovel flag and site Q responsibilities to Leatherman!
“There’s a tenacity to persistence that’s easy to overlook. Day after day it just doesn’t let go regardless of obstacles. Dad (Truitt Cathy) was joyfully persistent; with his principles and his focus on excellence. The persistent leader is quietly tenacious and delightfully determined.” -Dan Cathy (CEO Chick-fil-A)
In my own life, I feel that I’ve always been persistent. However, to be joyfully persistent is a whole different story. I’ve spent most of my ambitious life “pissed-off persistent” if anything. I recently heard an Entrepreneur talk about the moment when he realized that he was committed to finishing what he started. He explained that if he was committed to finishing, than he might as well quit being angry through the process and choose to be joyful. Being “quietly tenacious and delightfully determined” takes an internal decision to choose “Joy” even in obstacles. So, with that, lets be joyfully persistent, quietly tenacious, and delightfully determined to finish this and every beatdown! Aye!
This is the first BB for F3 Rocklin. The first beat down wanted to pay homage to the F3 bloodline from F3 Metro in Charlotte. Girardi a F3 Metro Redwood Original helped with a leap expansion to the San Francisco, California Bay Area where his brother Hammer calls home. YHC moved from California to Charlotte on the date of the very first F3 workout, 1/1/11 and yet did not post until 7/1/17 in California. We are a Mustard Seed born out of YHC moving away from the SF Peninsula pax and wanted to give it away to the men of the Thunder Valley area.

Naked Mole Skin
5 FNG’s for the first ever F3 workout in Rocklin, California. Most of the FNGs were EH’d by YHC and Gremlin was a Jr Hi school mate of Turnimus and we are glad for the EH. 5 F3 SF Peninsula pax made the early morning trek 2+ hours to help with the kickoff to demonstrate the culture of F3 and the credo of picking up the six as well as leaving no man where you find him. There was good mumble chatter throughout the beat down with a rousing t-claps to Bada Bing for hangin with the six.
Coffeeteria
10 of 11 pax went to coffee and there was great chatter around different pax’s F3 story. Slice even had EH’d 2 guys for week 2 and lots of talk about EH opportunities by this week’s FNGs.
