Introduction
Circle Up at 0615
-Disclaimer: F3 is FREE (#1), open to all men (#2), held outdoors rain or shine (#3), peer-led in a rotating fashion (#4), and always ends in a Circle of Trust (#5). I am not a professional. I am not aware of any injuries you may have – push yourself, but MODIFY as necessary. You are here of your own free will. The creedo of F3 is, “Leave no man behind, leave no man where you found him.”
Warm-O-Rama
Q handed off to Mendoza so he could run the PAX through a myriad of exercises to warm the body and prep the soul:
-SSH
-Global Warming like exercise named after someone, first to the left, then to the right
-Various leg stretches (hamstring, groin, quad, etc.)
I knew Mendoza (who was the Q on my FNG day and named me) would deliver!
The Thang
Thang 1
Split into four teams by counting off 1, 2, 3, 4.
Get into those teams. Partner up with someone you think is similar speed. Only need one coupon between the two of you.
Each team needed to deliver a 1 mile mosey to obtain 4 different The Complex Site-Q flags.

Team 3: DuPage River Trail West to the T and then South towards 95th Street

Circle of Trust
COUNT-O-RAMA 39 PAX in attendance.
FNG – 1 – SNAGGLETOOTH: We don’t have much in the way of dentists, so this was a treat. Several questionable first choices were offered up by YHC and the PAX and we settled on a very workable third choice. Welcome!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Asked Leuben to step forth and recount the noteworthy history of The Complex’s founding as an AO three years ago. Leuben did an awesome job showcasing how we started with a meager beginning of 4 PAX that grew into the juggernaut that is the present day Complex.
NAME-O-RAMA
PRAYER REQUESTS
COT – Highlighted that recurring F3 adage, “Come for the fitness, stay for the fellowship!” Spoke to the fellowship at The Complex from my FNG days to present day and how quick and amazing the journey has been.
(End in prayer).
