Next, Trigger led the PAX over to the baseball field where two rows of lovely cones were placed to help us line up and keep our social distance for an Ark Loader!

Bear Crawl Out / Crab Walk Back x3

By the third time back the triceps were definitely burning! Awesome mumble chatter here including Uptown Girl complaining that the line of cones was crooked so his end of the field had a longer distance to go!!

Trigger then led the PAX over to the pavilion for some bench work including:

While moving from the Baseball Field to the Pavilion, we noticed one of Franconia’s Finest parked watching the workout. CSPAN stopped to talk to him, told him about F3 and why were were there, and invited him to come out and tell all of his buddies back at the station that is right next door to the AO! Talk about a Flying EH!!

Trigger then led us on a Mosey back over to the Soccer Field for some additional field work:

Uptown shared some inspirational words on the importance of leadership and stepping up to lead in order to keep F3 growing and accomplishing its mission! Then Lowes took over and led the group over to where the F3 Indian Valley shovel flag had been planted out of sight before the workout began for the official unveiling of the shovel flag and the AO name, The Chieftain. The brief flag ceremony included the back story on why every F3 workout has a shovel flag, how it reminds us of the freedoms we get to enjoy and the men and women serving in our military defending those freedoms, and therefore the care and respect we will show to OUR shovel flag! CSPAN then did the honors of carrying the shovel flag over to the circle up location where the other regions’ shovel flags were already planted where it could join them!

Circling back up on the basketball court and with a few minutes left for some Mary we did a round robin going around the circle with each PAX calling out an exercise some of which included Dying Cockroaches, World War II Sit-ups, Crunchy Frogs, Box Cutters, Australian Angels, Supermans, Dos Chills and ending with Boats and Canoes led by Black Hole of F3 Princeton! And that was how the launch of F3 Indian Valley went down!

COT: Treat others how you want to be treated. But don’t just stop there. If you see or hear someone else being mistreated, don’t be silent and let it continue. Speak up and call the person out on how what they are doing or saying is wrong.

Big thanks to all of the HIM from surrounding areas that came out to support the launch and thanks to F3 Princeton for the gift of orange cones and to F3 Lehigh Valley for the signed Q Source book!

Aye! See you in the Indian Valley gloom!
