WARMUP:
Lead by Snooker. Did a great job.

THE THANG:
Moseyed around a bit, then landed at a parking lot with 4 cones set up about 50 yards apart. The thang was to do 11's, but across 4 corners.

Corner 1 – 10 Merkins. Next lap will be 9.
Lunge walk to Corner 2
Corner 2 – 1 Bombjacks. Next lap will be 2.
NUR to Corner 3.
Corner 3 – 10 Squats. Next lap will be 9.
Bear Crawl to Corner 4.
Corner 4 – 1 Mountain Climbers. Next lap will be 2.
Run to Corner 1.

Repeat until the "11's" exchange is complete.

Finished right on time.

Lap around the parking lot, back to the parking spaces behind COT. Each Pax stayed inside there parking space and performed a series of exercises. Once completed, we ran a lap and began another set of exercises. The exercises were the following: SSHs, curb hops, Mike Tyson’s, bear crawl, crawl bear. Grave diggers, and CDDs.
We had some time left over at the end to do some stone exercises 1 minute of each: curls, overhead press, and squat thrusters.
Back to COT.

Charlotte Heart Walk + F3 CSAUP Challenge

Leave a comment

Men,

Fireball and Sasquatch have somehow been allowed to serve as co-chairs for the Greater Charlotte Heart Walk on behalf of Encompass Health Rock Hill. Naturally, we couldn’t just show up and walk like normal people, so we’ve added a little F3 flavor.

The Mission

Date/Time: 9/26/26 @ 0730/0900 – 1030

Location: Romare Bearden Park (uptown Charlotte)

The Greater Charlotte Heart Walk is one of the community’s largest annual events, bringing together thousands of people to improve heart health, honor loved ones, and support healthier communities.

✅ Family friendly
✅ Kid friendly
✅ Pet friendly
✅ Great cause

The event includes:

  • 3-mile and 1-mile walk routes (beginning at 9:00 AM)
  • Festival area opens at 7:30 AM
  • Community vendors, entertainment, health resources, and more

The CSAUP

Rather than just a leisurely stroll with your family, earn it.

Teams of 2 or 4 will compete in a 3-1-3-1 relay. Simple as that. 

The Catch

After the relay:

Losing teams will meet in the Romare Bearden green space and collectively complete:

  • 100 Burpees (Dora style)
  • 100 Merkins (Dora style)
  • 100 Big Boys (Dora style)
  • 100 SSH (in cadence because suffering is better together.)

The Prize

The winning team will take home up to $200 worth of CEP compression socks. Because looking fast is almost as important as being fast.

Why We’re Doing It

It’s an opportunity to support a great cause, represent F3, get in some healthy competition, and spend the morning with fellow PAX and family (yes, bring your families and furry friends – Sasquatch does not count as a furry friend).

Come walk. Come compete. Come support heart health.

Sign up and donate the amount of your choosing via event link below or QR code, grab a teammate, and let’s make sure we’re well represented.

It’s Wet. YES. Now, Do The Work

Leave a comment

Whenever there's an FNG, I feel the responsibility to turn it up a notch and to ensure I adhere to the principles, cadence calling, and traits of what I love about F3. While it's not up to me to determine the intensity of this morning's workout as I'll let the PAX chime in, what I can control is the adherence to the principles, cadence calling and characteristics of what I love about F3…so long as I don't stray from the 5 Core Principles or the Credo.
Naturally, we reviewed those this morning prior to launching as we had an FNG in the gloom with us, welcome Small Things.

WARMUP: Mosey to the parking lot of FMRX and discover a nicely placed deck of cards. Oh look, what shall we do with these? The intent was to complete ~1/2 the deck utilizing some warm-up exercises and regular exercises and let this serve as our slightly-higher-than-normal-intensity warm-up.
Hearts: Merkins
Clubs: Flutters (count the rt side only)
Spades: Squats
Diamonds: Butt Kickers (count the rt side only)

THE THANG:
Mosey to the big lot on the right at the top of the Massey hill for a large evolution of 4 Corners with a center.
Start in the center of the lot and run to the corner, perform the exercise, run back to the center for 5 burpees, then out to the next corner and back to the center and so on. Complete 2 full rounds.
Corner 1: 15 Hand-Release Merkins
Corner 2: 15 Jump Squats
Corner 3: 15 Carolina Dry Docks
Corner 4: 15 American Hammers

Once everyone completed round 2, we then completed 1 additional round as a group but cut the reps in half.

Mosey to the steps at the Fort Mill Church of the Nazarene. The original plan had us running up and down the set of stairs but due to the rain, we lunge walked up the stairs, walked down and did that 3 times then went to the Church parking lot.
Here I looked at the wienke and realized I had about 7mins of material for the remaining 15mins of time in the hour. A reminder for all, plan a longer workout in case you finish an evolution faster than anticipated. So, what did we do? I preceded to make a few enemies and released the angry gremlin inside Super G.

Welcome back to the Mak Tar Jah followed by the Knee Tar Jah!

Now, mosey back to COT for what turned out to be the fastest naming of an FNG I've ever been apart of.
Welcome, Small Things.
MARY: Yes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CRI Training, Bethel Men's Shelter, Stuff The Bus
COT: 100%
