Five fine men made the decision to leave the fart sack behind and come out for some mettle this morning. Another 2 escaped their fart sacks for the Murph, but with low attendance they were welcomed into the mettle Pax with open arms. Yes, I chose to use the “fart” in fart sack twice for a reason. Both @disaster and @poutine added a little extra “propulsion” to their beat down throughout the course of the morning.

Disclaimer was given, and off we went.

• Great to lead my first Mettle Monday, thanks to everyone for coming out.
• The “90’s Alternative” playlist got a little mellow at times for my liking. We’ll modify as needed next time around
• Not sure what @disaster or @poutine had for dinner last night, but needless to say that the remaining PAX steered clear of their 6 during the workout.
• Barrister is Q’ing the Gassed & Curious Time Laps (or is it Lapse???) team. Event is coming up in May. Details: https://usnwc.org/play/whitewater-race-series/upcoming/time-laps-24-hour-relay-race/
• We still need 5 orders for our Highlands shirt order to make. The PAX in the logo is most likely wearing a kilt, so you know I’ve already got my order in (right @chowder). Rep our AO with pride: https://f3.mudgear.com/collections/active-preorders/products/f3-highlands
• Finally, and most importantly, Wednesday is #F3MentalBattle at COT across the nation. The math says that in every COT multiple PAX could be struggling with depression. Take advantage of this brotherhood and I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say any and all are available to talk/listen/counsel. In the Gloom, you’re never alone.

Highlands, Monday Mettle
