A Celebration Trip to the Islands

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Tried and true — SSH, Windmill, Mtn climber, down dog, up dog, etc. mosey to Lowes
THE THANG: Pax mustered near island at far entrance of Lowes. Completed a routine of doing some form of upper body exercise x15 at front Island, moved in j varying forms to next island away from store for some core exercise x15z then returned to original island and planked. Then we moved to the next set of islands.

During each plank session one pax shared a personal note of celebration for the day, ranging from a VQ to a wife’s return home from 2 weeks of travel to a 2.0’s successful landing of a new job.

After doing all sets of islands, we moseyed to the end of the retail strip and pax formed two teams for a relay race of bear crawls and crawl bears.

Mosey home.
MARY: included throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: yes as always

I love the spirit and energy at Slow Burn and the pax didn’t disappoint. Lots of mumblechatter and laughs for 45 mins. Not only is this season dark, cold and heavy but the general tone in the world seems the same. Grateful to see the pax take timeout to celebrate and identify an area of light in their life.

We’re called to be the light amid the darkness. Go light the way men!

Thanks Peach Stand and congrats on 3 yrs in the Gloom!

I feel like it’s a cliche at this point to talk about F3 and the bonds built through tough workouts. If you’ve done it, you get it.

If you haven’t…you might be wondering how guys seem so committed to this thing.

Speaking for me, the glue started in sharing the suck at 0515.  But it got real sticky-like after my first mud run.In a world full of social media where people love to tear down, you find a group of guys who lift you up.  Cheer you on.  Run (slowly in my case) alongside you.

Which brings us to our latest idea:
> (means greater than. It’s math.)
An event that will need more than you’ve ever given, and will leave you greater than you started.

What’s > exactly? 
A 12 hour overnight ruck and endurance event.
This is not something to take lightly.  Training is highly encouraged.  (We will even provide you with a training schedule to make sure you get the most of this event.)
Here’s an idea of what to expect.

May 16.  Anne Springs Greenway.  Fort Mill, SC.
