Don’t worry, stats are intact.

Backblasts are rarely read, and arguably aren’t serving the purpose they once did. Is that good? Bad? Neutral? They do serve a purpose, though, and so I will do it. Sort of.

NMM: after completing the sweet 16 all pax acknowledged that those exercises would not have been done had we been left to do them our own in isolation. Community matters and today’s FNG came out for that very reason.

The gift F3 represents to each of us is unique. The common element, however, is that we must share it to fulfill the mission of invigorating male community leadership. How we do that is up to each of us.

Thanks for the call, Pauly D. And Welcome to Fartlek.

Honored,

The road least traveled

Leave a comment

WARMUP: the nice warm air gave us all the warm up we needed
THE THANG: the recommended route was L on munn, R on Harris, R on Sam smith, R into Sutton place neighborhood, take the first left 3 times to arrive at Sutton, R on Sutton, turn around once you hit 6th Baxter and do the whole thing in reverse. 4.35 miles. Not many did this route, but those who did were treated to some solid hill work <#C09QRA67ST0>

Supermen and Superman’s

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mozy warmup with stops for imperial walkers, merkins, mountain climbers, overhead claps
THE THANG: After the warmup mozy we ran to the top of Main Street and the parking lot for wall sits. Each Pax would bear crawl out individually and do the exercise while the others remained seated. One by one, the Pax would take their turn. We completed four rounds and the 5 rep exercises were shoulder tap merkins, wide arm merkins, diamond merkins, and ranger merkins. (With much debate about proper ranger merkin form)
Once completed, we setup a cone at the top of Main Street, one halfway to the bottom and one at the bottom of the street by Phat burrito. On the top and bottom cones were the same five exercises. The Pax would complete the first exercise (50 reps) then run to the middle cone for two burpees, then complete the same exercise at the next cone. Once done, we’d run back to the middle cone (two burpees) and do the second exercise at the next cone. Rinse and repeat until all exercises were done. (500 total reps). Exercises were SSH, LBCs, CDDs, Squats, Supermans. When all reps were completed we headed back to COT.
MARY: Plank for the last two minutes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, upcoming CSAUPs
COT: Family, injured Pax, Gratitude that we get to post.

Jaeger – Sprint

Leave a comment

The Fort will celebrate the culmination of it’s 2025-2026 Fundraising Efforts for the Fort Mill Care Center and F3 Scholarship with the Foundation for Fort Mill Schools at 11:30am on March 14th at Model A. Prior to that (9am) we’re running a shorter Jaeger–a Jaeger Sprint. Why? Because it’s completely stupid and utterly pointless: CSAUP.

Just show up and you’ll be placed with a team for completing the event. Some will ruck, if you bring a ruck. Some will run, if you don’t have a ruck. All will get better!
