Timberline Trail – ASCG

Leave a comment

THE THANG:
12 PAX strong ruckes Kingsley trail to Timberljne trail. We made a push for Lake Haigler but had to turnaround at E3. Seemed like 2 ish miles. We encountered rocks, roots, terrain, river crossings, and horse manure. It was cool to look back a see a string of headlamps, bobbing through the woods. When one of us was in a valley, another was at a peak encouraging us to keep going. In your concentrica, who needs encouraging today?

Wellness Check on Mr Harris – and We Love You Cable Guy!!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None other than most excellent pre-run mumblechatter and then giving the route. The former warmed us up more than the latter.

THE THANG: We ran. Some faster than others but that does not matter as long as you are there. Route was L on Munn, L on Harris, take Harris to the end, L on Massey, L on 160 then take it to COT. Extra credit – old Kingsley loop.
Without EC – around 4 miles
With EC – about 4.9
Hills are in both versions.
Mr Harris can get in your head. He is a daunting hill. Just keep after it and DFQ. Get him out of your headspace to conquer him!

MARY: My Mom’s name. Love it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes there were. READ THE NEWSLETTER!!

COT: Plenty.

Special prayers towards one of our own – Cable Guy – and his family, loved ones. Today marks the one year anniversary of the way too soon passing of his much beloved son Noah. He was a great young man in many ways. We love you CG!!!

Inaugural Jaeger

Leave a comment

Beautiful March weather (seriously it was a perfect day) for the 0800 launch of the Eröffnung Jäger. PAX were assured by Grinder that the routes were well marked and there were no Zima-miles. This proved to be 99.9% true (you could still get lost if you wanted to…)

The premise was solid. 4 man team (2 Ruckers, 2 Runners). Runners had longer routes and teams met at checkpoints for team exercises before they could head to the next station. The pain stations were tough. Lutefisk about killed the PAX at the first one. (Oh, that was just me?) Triple Lindy had us loading munitions. Cake Boss brought candy, but it was not a sweet treat. (Could have also been that the leg leading to Alison Park was soul crushing….) Tinsel forgot it was a CSAUP and thought he was prepping for a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs wresting match.



The finishing team results:
1.) Vuvu/Beaker (for the record you were suggested to have a 4 man team…)
2.) Cobra Kai’s crew (that included the mythical Gekko)
3.) Camp 3D’s Sugar Shady Band Bug
4.) Cornerstone’s posse
5.) Poppins’ Chimney Sweeps (seriously impressive that Badlands ran back from the final pain station to connect with his teams’ Ruckers)
6.) The Entourage around Shield
7.) Slow Jams and the Lake Ridge Wanders
8.) Lake Wylie’s Wild Thing drinking Whiskey and enjoying a Big Mac (great to see these guys from across the bridge here for the CSAUP)

Afterwards at the Print Shop, we celebrated the Dam 2 Dam fundraising effort where The Fort is sending $7,500 to Defend the Fatherless, $7,500 to Autism Strong, $7,500 to the Fort Mill Care Center, and $10,000 to the F3 the Fort endowed scholarship.

It is an honor to be part of The Fort alongside some amazing high impact men. On behalf of Grinder and the entire planning crew, this backblast is respectfully submitted by the smallest cog in the Jaeger machine—Band Camp.

After a HC from kermit the night before he was no where to be found at 0500.

At 0500, 6 PAX did a short loop through Kingsley with plan to stick around and see if he showed by 0515. Yup, and so we had 7 for the morning.

THE THANG: ruck around kingsley/LPl/sunbelt for 3 miles with stops for IC exercises about every 5 minutes.

squats, merkins, shoulder taps, irkins, OH shoulder press, curls, bent over rows, calf raises

MARY: more squats

thanks for the opportunity Sprocket
