Pre-Blast: The Fort Thanksgiving Convergence @ The Ranch

Turkey

All PAX,

The Ranch will be hosting Thanksgiving breakfast full of pain and discomfort.

I know it sounds appealing, however the best part will be you’ll be with your F3 brothers in fellowship expressing Thanks for all the encouragement and “sharpening” our brothers have done for us this year.

Join Santini and Pusher as they lead us around The Ranch AO with some side dishes of merkins, LBCs and of course burpees. There may even be a surprise or two for attendees, especially after the 6 week detox cleans ends. Hummmmm…….interesting!

Post time will be 6am

Location is The Ranch, Springfield Elementary parking lot (soccer fields in front)

Qs are Santini and Pusher

All AOs are converging this day at The Ranch.

Any questions, let Cake Boss or Pusher know.

Don’t forget the Shoe Donations for Charlotte Rescue Mission. Bring those to all workouts until 11/22.

Indian Land Shovel Flag Plant and Sausage Fest – 10/18

Come celebrate yet another expansion spawned from The Fort where not ONE but THREE shovel flags will be planted. The three flags planted are representative of the three workouts developed in Indian Land on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays (The Tomahawk, The Arsenal and The Reservation).

Following the tour of the new AO (code for an epic beatdown), there will be the inaugural Indian Land Sausage Fest starting at 0830 (Decibel, there will be BRATS!). This should allow enough time for the PAX posting in other AO’s to come join in the fun. Bring your own drinks and lawn chairs (NO ALCOLHOL – we are on school property – Sorry Trucker). For PAX coming from other AO’s, the sausage fest will be held in the parking lot shown in the screenshot below. Click here for directions.

If you’d like to contribute to the Festivities, please add what you’re going to bring to the spread sheet here. All PAX should have access and can see what others are bringing.

Lastly, don’t forget to EH friends, colleagues, neighbors or anyone else that might want to come out.

My VQ and we were blessed with a total eclipse of the moon.  I took this as a sign to talk about those dark times we all have and how the best practice is to see the beauty in the darkness and place your trust in the light that is to come.  The morning gloom was ready to be pierced by 22 strong men ready for the unknown, but also confident in their ability to lift each other up.

Mosey to the Grinder for COP:

25 SSH

20 Windmills

20 Merkins

20 IW

The Thang #1 (Count off 1-4 and then form 2 lines across the end zone – odds and evens)

50 yard sprint (there and back)

10 burpees

100 yard sprint (there and back)

10 burpees

50 yard sprint (there and back)

10 burpees

Mosey to the pull-up bars

The Thang #2 – 4 Stations (3 min. at each station, no rest, move to the next station)

Station #1: Burpee pull-ups…because regular old burpees are boring

Station #2: Lunge walk up the hill

Station #3: 10 merkins / 10 curb crawlers (rinse & repeat for 3 min.)

Station #4: 20 squats / 20 LBCs (rinse and repeat for 3 min.)

RINSE & REPEAT all 4 stations.

Mosey back to parking lot for COT.

It was an honor to take the Q this morning and, as always, to be among this group of leaders.
