Q. How did you get your F3 Nickname?

A. Grito, who had the Q that day, asked me questions throughout the workout session. When the topic of my interests came up, I mentioned that I played cricket. Upon discussing some terminologies related to cricket, Red Rider told them about King Ralph, an American movie, where the lead actor played the cricket game in the movie. Grito also thought king ralph is apt to me. So that’s how I got my F3 nick name, King Ralph.

Q. How did you find out about F3 and what were your thoughts coming to your first beatdown (workout)?

A. I stumbled upon F3 through a News Break app notification, which featured an article by P.O. in the Liberty Hill newspaper. The article caught my attention, highlighting that F3 is open to men of all fitness levels.  Intrigued by the inclusivity and inspired by IMDBU's suggestion in a F3 YouTube video to give it a try for a month, I decided to join. My fitness wasn't at its peak, and I saw F3 as an opportunity to improve. Arriving at my first beatdown, led by Grito, I found the experience positive. The workout was well-structured, and the camaraderie within the group was encouraging. It affirmed my decision to join F3.

Q. Ok, lets talk about “the streak”...since your first post you haven’t missed a beatdown (over 50 straight by the time this newsletter hits the stands). What compelled you to do this and what have you learned about yourself through it all?

A. I started "the streak" because, four years ago in India, I used to work out in a CrossFit Studio every day for two years straight. It made me feel great, so I wanted to do it again. I've learned that sticking to a routine, even with small workouts, helps me feel more accomplished and mentally strong. It's a simple way for me to stay disciplined and keep pushing myself.

Q. What has been your favorite part of your f3 experience so far and what are you looking forward in the upcoming year?

A. My favorite part of my F3 experience has to be my VQ . I was pleasantly surprised when 18 PAX turned up, and I managed to lead a solid workout that day. It was a rewarding experience, and the support from the group made it memorable.

Looking ahead to the upcoming year, my fitness goals take center stage. I'm aiming to enhance my overall fitness, with a specific target of running 4 miles without taking breaks. Additionally, I'm excited about the prospect of leading more Qs. The opportunity to guide and motivate the group is something I look forward to, and I'm eager to contribute more to the F3 community.
