Friendless Dora

WARMUP: ran around parking lot with a few exercises thrown in: butt kickers, high knees, shuffles. Circled up for: SSH, merkins, hillbilly walkers, squats, and some hamstring and back stretches.
THE THANG: Ran over by Indian restaurant (which has been a number of different local establishments but it sounds like this restaurant is PAX approved), we began the fun. Dora concept but no partner. 25x merkins, 25x squats, 25x (count right leg only) flutters. Run to other end of parking lot and rinse/repeat…back and forth for a total of 100x.

Stop 2 was over at the church parking lot – same idea, different exercises. 25x CDD, 25x single count lunges, 25x Freddy (right knee only)…total 100x.

Last stop was in the back parking lot, where the dumpster fumes were at a low. 15x variety merkins (5 diamond, 5 wide arm, 5 ranger), 30x variety claves (10 out, 10 reg, 10 in), 25x LBC. Run and rinse/repeat 4 total times.
MARY: left time for 2 exercises back at COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter and cannoli run
COT: prayers for health and families

Inaugural Jaeger

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.

Fast FNG

Shady EH’d a nice young man who’s into biking, tennis and his name is Remington, so we named him Steele. Very fast too and kept Shady in check.

Prayers for Funhouse’s mom Joan who fell and that’s a bit of a setback.

Nice running down to the river and back.

Reverse Aging Mechanism

WARMUP:  Slight Yog (soft j) to warmup area behind the school.  Comprehensive group of exercises designed to ready the mind, body, and spirit for the workout ahead.   Plus stretching.

THE THANG:  Three rounds of Rugby Sprints [trademark] which have been documented in medical journals [citation needed] to reverse the aging process.  Have you ever actually *seen* an old rugby player?!  ….exactly.  

Then we headed to the entrance hill for partner work:  

P1 – flying squirrels.  
P2 – down and back.  
Flapjack
Rinse/Repeat
How long?
No idea.  🤷🏻‍♂️

That got old quick

[annnnnd queue rain]

Hey – let’s do some step ups under some cover!

What else can we do under some cover?

Wall Sits?   Sure!

Anything else? ….hmmmm never too early for some….⬇️

MARY:  Rotating Q of various ab exercises….under some cover

ANNOUNCEMENTS:   Mental Battle March!   Drop Thrill Qing all over the place.   Can’t do this life alone – get out there and support each other.  

COT:   Welcomed back Dictator after 18 months away (stick-tap to Shady for apparently being annoying AF pestering him to come back out – his words – not mine).   Let’s not take F3 for granted, gents.  Imagine if you didn’t have it as an option in your life.  Appreciation!   Thanks to Bitcoin for the opportunity.  Aye!

The way things were

This Weinke was stolen from @Anchorman
Do day one, run around medical building.
Plank for 6.
Do day two, day one then around the building, etc

1 Donkey Kick
2 WAM

4 Merkins
5 Squats
6 Burpees
7 Bombjacks

During Plank we got to hear about each PAX’s favorite place from where they grew up that was still there last time they went back. Slash and I had a bit of back-n-forth because the Greenway wasn’t really here when we were growing up and so much has changed in Fort Mill. Plus we both lamented Tony’s Pizza burning down.

@Cheddah- Jones Donuts
@Weezer- Al’s Fries
@OldBay- Breaker’s Pool Hall
@Mainframe- Texas Tavern
@Cyclops- Alfee’s Pizza
@JWOW- Vinny’s Pizzarama
@dilbert – Baseball Field
@Change Order- Intercoastal Waterway
@Flounder- Mosquitoes (WTH? Your favorite?)
@Esso- The Complex
@Slash- Village Pizza
@Shady- Sweet Sensations ice cream (and massage parlor?)
@Band Camp- Bartlett Tree Farm

An honor to lead.
