The Thang – #3 Terrible Song

• Everybody Up – by Five. American Hammers on “1,2,3,4,5” and Flutter Kicks throughout.

The Thang – #4 Bear Crawl – This is where the emotional ending came in.

• Bear Crawl roughly 75 yards and run back to start. At this point, the PAX were spent. Beatdown and Beat Up. It seemed like time was standing still and 8:00 would never come. YHC finished the bear crawl and was headed back to the start and noticed a fellow PAX, who is an absolute BEAST and just did the Triathlon a week ago, on his knees not moving forward. I went over to him and got on all fours and said “Come on! You got this. Let’s finish this together”. As we were moving, I noticed the rest of the PAX gathering next to us, one by one, encouraging him on until he made it to the finish. And he did! That’s what I call “Leave No Man Behind”. I was leading the beatdown and realized it was my responsibility to help the fellow PAX. But to see the rest of the PAX come together to help and encourage another, really tugged my heartstrings. This is exactly why every man needs F3 in their life! We are a BROTHERHOOD! We are FRIENDS! We are ACCOUNTABILITY partners! WE ARE THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER!!

Count-a-rama, Name-a-rama.
