The day finally arrived for our CSAUP, The FInal Countdown. The rainy weather was not ideal, but it helped keep the temperature and humidity down for ideal running conditions. 67 men participated in the event. Most groups participated in the relay. Ruckers and trail runners fought the elements and got their work done to.
Relay details: The first Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point. The 1st and 2nd Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner will run the final 3 miles. Each route will be unique. If you get lost, just run 3 miles and return back to the park.

Total miles: 3+3+3 = 10 F3 math (Runner 1 – 9 miles, Runner 2 – 6 miles, Runner 3 – 3 miles)

Inspiring stuff this morning. River Rat’s 2.0s ran the course like it was a lap around the track. Lots of guys ran distances they have never run before.
We’ve got a good pool of runners for the upcoming Dam to Dam Relay.

Great job by everyone this morning!

Pole Dancing At The Yard

Posted In: referrals

WARMUP: Mosey Pax to back parking lot. We did 10 Seal Jacks, 10 Plank Jacks, 10 Windmills, Moraccian Nightclubs, Over head claps, and 7 Merkins.
THE THANG: After the warmup I told the Pax to meet me at the road leading out to Springfield Pkwy. This was the start of the pole work we put in. Along the road there are 14 lights that I put exercises at each one. You start at the first light pole then you proceed to next pole after doing your reps at each. To continue down the road you have to start back at the beginning and work through all the previous poles before continuing to the next one. Here’s the list of the exercises and order they where in at the light posts:
Hand Release Merkins
Big Boy Sit Ups
Sumo Squats
Diamond Merkins
X’s and O’s
Carolina Dry Docks
Monkey Humpers
Wide Arm Merkins
American Hammer
Lt. Dans
Regular Merkins
Freddy Mercury
Jump Squats
Everyone’s favorite Kraken Burpees
10 Reps for all stations

It was a tough workout that Uhaul complained about the whole time saying it wasn’t original. Harry Carey, Tesh and Peabody where kings. All Pax got at least 2 miles in.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: F3 The Fort 10 year anniversary this week and the next.
COT: Prayers for Tater’s daughter. Thanks Fogerty and Bitcoin for the Q. Sorry I’m terrible at writing Backblasts.

So Humid…so dark….so wet….

In other words conditions were perfect for IPX week 1.

WARMUP: We did some SSH, windmills, and other stuff. It was all to loosen up for the inevitable beatdown.

THE THANG:

45 minute EMOM

4 Cones in a square. Each 25 yards apart

Start at cone 1 bearcrawl to cone 2 do 25 Squats,

sideways bearcrawl to cone 3 do 25 merkins,

Crawlbear to cone 4 do 25 Big Boy Sit-ups

sideways bearcrawl back to cone 1 do 25 burpees.

As many reps as you can in 45 minutes.

This was tough. Sweat poured, merlot was spilled, no tears shed but weakness did leave the body.

Grateful for the men that showed and did the really….really…. hard thing.

Week 2 here we come!! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

It was hot and humid, first day all year as such.
We ran.
Some ran 3.4 miles.
At least one ran 5.5 miles.
At least one ran into a tree (it’s not a laughing matter)
At least one hung out by the bank and smoked Marlboro Reds (rumor has it)

Get off my lawn!

Looks like we made it,
