We have an amazing opportunity in The Fort to impact our community. We have pax impacting our community through service. Challenge was raised, if you aren’t actively impacting the community, why not?

It was an honor to be able to lead the workout this morning. This was diffident from most workouts because of the number of times we stopped to talk. However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.

We found a snowman and a new site Q

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Put rucks on back. Started moving.
THE THANG: This was an old school fire ant wienke YHC had in storage from Dec 2020 and seemed fitting for a longer distance touring of Tega Cay.

We set off towards Walmart and at the bottom of Hubert Graham (maybe 16-17 min pace), we stopped for a series of exercises we’d repeat 3 other times with increases in rep count of 5 (started with 5 reps).

Exercises were: man makers, lunge walks (both legs is 1), curls, swings, up rows.

On our way up the hill, we crossed paths with a running snowman who was moving and in training for GrowRun NO. Next stop was Walmart parking lot by brewery for 10 reps, same exercises. Discussions with DR Pax Rousey uncovered his past experiences with GrowRuck Myrtle that Mainframe and Divac tried to not relive in their minds. Wegmans and PL May have come up.

Once finished with our counts of 10, we went in the back of Walmart and made a quick decision not to see if we could make it over to Colosseum…that would have been tight getting back to COT.

At the bottom of HG once again, we started or rep counts of 15 and found our frosty snowman yet again, this time with a ruck on his back…running no less. He joined us for our final 15 before heading back to COT.

Before getting to COT, we had just enough time for a quick mosey shuffle around the small parking lot with rucks on.
MARY: nada
ANNOUNCEMENTS: completed
COT: also check

WARMUP: rucked over to old Kingsley
THE THANG: continued rucking around old Kingsley loop and back to bigger parking lot on far west side. We then did a small set of exercises: 10 squats, 10 curls, 10 overhead presses.

Next up was a goal of a 15 min, 1 mile time hack. Instructions were: single file line, we’d rotate the man in front to the back every .2 miles, we had to stay together within a 1-2 arm reach, only the man in front and back could talk in terms of instructions on spacing, speed, etc.

We did pretty well keeping together until the end when our spacing separated a bit to much so while we did make the time back, we didn’t complete it all together.

Quick AAR (after action report) in the parking lot on what went well / didn’t go well. Comments were: difficult to stay silent when not in the front / back, the need to ask for help when trying to keep up, need for more talking from the back.

Another set of the 3 exercises noted above. Then back to COT going the short way as we were running low on time.
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check
COT: check

KABOOM at Colosseum

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer only
THE THANG: 1776 reps of pain plus some running
COT: On this birthday of our country we added FNG Tang to our pax, EH’d by Mark Twain. Welcome brother! We sweat like crazy in the Gloom and let the familiar soreness settle in as the fireworks lit up the sky to honor our forefathers and our fellow Americans. Grateful to have been born in the USA and to share this life with my F3 brothers. May we stay United and foster Unity with those we meet each time we leave COT and enter the world around us. God Bless America!
