  • Shoulda Fart Sacked?

    1 HIM turned Into Bristlecone Blvd anticipating the view of tail/headlights in the PFP parking lot since YHC rang out a “ruck tomorrow” announcement over the #newkent channel last night. Beaver really did not want any part of getting out of the fart sack this morning, but I can’t post an OTB ruck and not show up for the men. Getting up and to an AO truly is half the battle, so since I’m here why throw in the towel now?
    Since I’ve got some extra time this morning let’s give it some extra effort and take her 5 miles for the men who couldn’t be here.

  • Big Weds Turnout!!

    12 HIMs emerged from the gloom for a glorious OTB beatdown! I’m kidding, just YHC here showed up and boy was it a wet one this morning! Soaked from head to toe as I got in a couple miles of running with the F3 card deck in hand, stopping at every sign or post to draw an exercise. Today I learned there’s a Queen of Burpees and the deck just kept giving me every possible merkin exercise known to the F3 Nation!

  • Taking Advantage of Our Resources

    2 Lumber Dawgs embarked on a journey of Pine Fork Park to see all it had to offer. With nothing planned but some mosey time, YHC decided to make it a randomizer of exercises within travel time.

    Welcome Friday! Wildwood came up with Friday since Scott only shows up on Fridays for the time being. Correct me if I’m wrong on any of this Friday. Friday is 38, he and his family moved to the NK area about a year ago. He was an MP for a number of years and is now working on his PhD. He used to lead bootcamps in the military and enjoys working out at his home gym. For 2 workouts now he keeps great form and keeps up! F3 might be too easy for him.

He spent a lot of time in the Air Force, has plenty of experience leading military bootcamps, should be getting his PHD in December. He and his wife have 2 girls, 7 & 10 years old. We found this guy working with sandbags and medicine balls out on the field last week and invited him out, glad he could join us this morning.
