Ashley Cummings and Nasty Gloves

Great to see DaVinci and Tinsel back out in the gloom but before we started warm up they stepped off to get some miles in and discuss recent design innovations in exterior illumination.

We did a couple of core warm ups then did a lap of catch me if you can. P1 does 5 HR merkins while P2 travels with both bags. P1 sprints to catch then swap. Always a quick way to get warm.

We moved to far side of field for main work. Crazy 8 which is 8 rounds of 8 reps of 8 exercises. 8 exercises were swings, merkin w/ruck pull thru, curls, lunges w/ruck overhead, bent over rows, mountain climbers, squats, and flutters w/press. Somehow merkins w/pull thrus are now forever to be called Ashley Cummings at Currahee. Show up and we’ll try to explain. Around the 2nd round fishstix offered Cicada some extra gloves he pulled out of somewhere. Cicada spent the next 2 rounds trying to determine what smelled like raw sewage, then the next 2 rounds getting over the dry heaves. Either fishstix used these to bear crawl thru the Golden Corral run off or used them to harvest choice meat from the TC deer culling. Pretty impressive for a set of gloves to funk up the outdoors. After throwing them away we finished the WOD and cashed out with 8 man-makers. Then we did various movements across the field: bear crawl, oh carry, fireman carry, and backwards oh carry. Recover, recover.

Back to COT. Great group this morning. Lots of mumblechatter helped the time fly by. Thx for the opportunity Sprocket.

2024 The Fort Dam to Dam Fundraising Initiative

Every year, several of us enthusiastically participate in the Dam to Dam Relay. Wondering what that is? The Dam to Dam Relay is an exhilarating 100K team relay that stretches from Lake Murray Dam in Lexington, SC, all the way to Lake Greenwood Dam in Greenwood. This adventure involves teams of 6, 4, or 3 runners sharing a van over a span of 8-10 hours.

 

But, why do we embark on this journey? It’s for the fellowship, to push our limits, and to encouraging others to do the same. Over the past five years, our partnership with local charities has culminated in raising over $100,000, which has immensely benefitted our community. Notably, the efforts of dedicated HIM’s produced the F3 Fort Mill Community Scholarship, benefiting all three Fort Mill High Schools.

 

Now, it’s that pivotal moment when we push our limits and accelerate. We do this selflessly and with the hope we inspire others to do the same along the way. This year, our collaboration is with Bethel Shelters, and we’ll continue supporting the F3 Fort Mill Community Scholarship. Our ambitious goal is to raise $50,000 or more, with proceeds evenly split between the two esteemed organizations.

 

I urge you, each one of you, to join our noble cause. Whether you’re joining us on the run or simply want to partake in our exciting events, see below for more details:

 

  • **10/14**: Join our poker tournament at the Springfield Clubhouse from 6 pm-12 am, spearheaded by our brethren, Fogerty and Kaiser. New to this year!

 

  • **11/10**: The renowned BBQ and Bourbon event, masterminded by Cyclops, is up next. Whether you’re there for the bourbon or just for Wegmans’ mouthwatering BBQ, this event stands as a testament to our fundraising spirit.

 

  • **12/8**: Experience ‘Shanking with Stang’ by our unique, sock-misplacing, trail runner who may or may not disappear in the woods for a short period of time, Stang. A little trivia: he’s a southpaw, but only in golf go figure!

 

  • **1/27**: The highly anticipated Dam to Dam Bar 10k is up, brought to life by our inspirational HIMs: Hardwood, L-Train, Long Duck, Console, Floppy Disc, Harry Carry, and many others. This is truly an event of the year!

 

  • **2/2**: A novel addition this year is the wine dinner, curated by the retired Nathan Pusher. An excellent opportunity to treat your M’s as a thank-you for all the support they’ve rendered by letting you have the hall passes to attend these events.

 

  • Date TBD – Finally, we have skeet shooting, under the adept guidance of our brother, Change Order. Don’t fret about equipment; it’s all provided.

 

As we wrap up, remember to not only participate but also get your companies, neighbors, and family members involved. Introduce them to this thing we call F3 through our 2nd F events. If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering (as we consistently need assistance for our events), please don’t hesitate to reach out.

 

Thank you Men lets crush it this year!

YHC, Conerstone
