  • Summer Dreaming

    The same 2 Herculean Iron Haulin’ Brutes arrived on horseback this gloom to keep the torch burning with some sandbags and metal music! We kicked this gloom off with some Warmarama and great conversation about last nights Men’s Group.

    Countdowns – Start with a 10 Rep exercise called by either PAX – run a lap around the pavilions and meet up for a set of 9 reps and continue that pattern until finishing at 1 Rep. included: Ball Dippers, Pistol Squats, Weighted Step Ups, Wojo Squats, Sandbag Squats, Burpees…

    3 Sets – 30 sec Wall Sit / 10 Donkey Kicks / 10 Hoe Downs – run a lap around the snack shack after every round.

    3 sets – 10 sandbag Squat Thrusters – run the snack shack between every set.

    3 Sets – Core Stuff! P1 Freddie’s until P2 completes 12 sandbag WWIIs. Run a lap and switch P1 with P2, run a lap (that’s 1 set)

    3 Sets – Bench Raises – Pit a sandbag on the edge of the picnic bench and perform 20 calf raises per set, run a lap after each set.

    CoT

    Moleskin: every man hits that fork in the road of life, to go down a path of his own or God’s, the path of his own is unchanging and ends in the way of nothing but a sad clown. Then there’s the other path of having faith and following the plan that God has set out for you, into the unknown and the wild, but that same faith will get you through anything and that is ultimately the life of adventure and legacy we want to leave behind.



  • Not Keen on the Neighborhood Hound

    2 Herculean men emerged from the gloom into the field of the Iron Haul!
    It was BYOCoffee on the ruck to keep up the core temps. We stuck around a bit to make it a solid 5k. Look at for that rowdy dog at the cul-de-sac!

  • BBBLAZE

    With the strength of 20 men at the Lumberyard this gloom, emerged 2 grizzled gladiators! But first, they had some detective work to do as an abandoned, smooshed up BMW was found in the parking lot, much investigation and speculation was made in place of Warmarama. Once we realized we could go no further with the investigation, we called in the Sheriffs dispatch knowing full well every time a sheriff is present, 10 burpees must be performed. The following is the Q Potato witnessed by a smashed beemer and a couple of Sheriff Deputy’s. Warmup with 10 burpees.

    Snake Lot Squats – Follow the parking spaces in a snake travel pattern, perform 3 air squats per parking spaces.

    Indigenous PAX – Round 1 – P1 Lunges with 50 lb sand bag , while P2 runs around the parking lot, switch when runner catches up to lunger.
    Round 2 – P1 3 Merkins and bear Crawls, P2 runs around the lot.

    Do a bit of mid workout Warmarama and stretching and another Deputy showed up (10 burpees).

Thanks for coming out Teton! We hope you continue to make some F3 visits.

  • Merkin Run

    2 magic men emerged in the early gloom for some EC. While everyone else in New Kent seemed to be in the beautiful woods hunting for some Whitetail, we were out running 2.5 miles and logging 110 merkins in the process.

  • Q Tater!

    4 Mystery Men emerged from the gloom for a 70 & Sunny good time at The Lumberyard! Nobody had the Q on the sheet so we tossed around the tater for the workout! Beaver sounds like he’s going through puberty with this strange cold.

  • Beaver High Tails It

    It was just the pines and Beaver this morning. YHC covered something like 5.2 mi and gets a max speed of 12.2 mph. YHC took a page from Commando’s book and used this time to talk with God in the overcast gloom. Even though I missed the guys, it was nice to have this alone time.

  • 6 HIMS and a little lady emerged from the unusually bright gloom for a faux Beaver Q Surprise, just trying to bait y’all out here! This is what the dog park weirdos witnessed!

    Mosey to the helipad for disclaimer and Warmarama(surprisingly not a whole lot of MC):

    Mosey to the Handicap Spaces near the playground for COP 2 – 7’s – Mike Tyson / Pole Smokers

    Mosey to the Coupons way over yonder for COP 3 – Dora …“Leroy Jenkins!” Exclaims Choo Choo – this had to have been at least a half mile round trip to the AED, shortly after YHC proactively changes the LJ destination to the much closer center field flag. Like I was saying Dora- Partner Up / 100 Incline Merkins / 200 Wet Toilet Seats / 300 LBC’s – Partner carries coupon to top of trail and back.

    Sugar Rush calls for Leroy Jenkins, run to the flag on our way back, pick up our gear and head back to the invisible F3 flag.
