Disclaimer: By participating in an F3 workout, you assume the risks inherent in doing so. I am not a professional. F3 makes no representations of any kind regarding your safety. Asked to share about whetstone and my experiences, here we go…

1. DORA: Rebel
- challenged me in areas I struggle: alcohol, devoting time to my M, getting my family to Church consistently
- Asks for progress updates every time we meet
- Sets the example for how to be a better man

Reporting Progress
+ 200 merkins
+ 200 big boys
+ 200 squats
+ 200 LBC’s
- Bear crawl/power-skips

2. Partner run: Pusher AKA Big Question Eddie
- pushes me to think bigger; act better
- Always comes back when I ghost, some may be shocked to learn that F3 didn’t immediately stick with me!!
- Sets the example for how to be a better man

Big Questions
+ Run to 160 and back, ask big questions of each other: who’s your whetstone? Who could be your stone/blade? What do you need in a whetstone relationship?

3. Partner transport: Long Duck
- full of stories and antidotes to frame your mind for the positive, I.e. attitude card
- Carried me in some of my struggles with alcohol and anger
- Pours himself into others to help them and himself
- Sets the example for how to be a better man

Carrying your man
+ partner carry, 2 laps
+ wheelbarrow, 1 lap
- repeat

4. Closing: Key takeaways
- find what you need in a stone, plus seek to share wisdom with a blade (it makes you a better man)
- Be open with them, get vulnerable
- You can have more than one stone, learn lessons from all relationships
- Find someone that sets the example for how to be a better man
