    • YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

    NMS:  This is YHC’s third time to The Mountain for the annual Windy Gap men’s retreat, and we’ve had F3 workouts each year. This year YHC thought ahead to make and put up a few fliers on the mess hall and meeting hall doors, and we definitely had some new takers today! Turned out to be a little more of a tough grind than YHC had anticipated leading, but the men stuck with it and crushed the beatdown with a whole lot of grit and very little chatter. The quiet moments weren’t left vacant however, as YHC filled the many FNG’s in with all the essential F3 truths. Today the PAX chose to embrace something truly challenging and revitalizing, and YHC prays it has lifted up their spirits to receive new revelation and respite in the presence of Jesus and brothers bearing His name. We’ll just have to wait and see how many repeat offenders tomorrow brings. All for Jesus, DTH

  • Ahhhh, Love that Smell of Cap Guns in the Mornin!

    A swarthy sextet of gloomaphiles assembled at SOT steeling their nerves for another ride on the DTH pain train. Many SOT regulars were missing as the clock struck 0530, undeniably a tribute to NTB’s burpee-loving VQ yesterday. The MOT runners took off with the entire PAX pulled into their wake, and for a brief moment YHC questioned if anyone was staying for the beatdown. “Bootcampers this way!” and five enthusiastic PAX jumped tracks to follow DTH into greatness, as follows:

Bone Thugs won the 3rd F Award with some deep thoughts and words of encouragement during the COT. Also, incline burpees are waaaay nicer then regular ones. Keep posting gents! SYITG, DTH

    • Namerama

    • GREENBOW took the PAX out in Prayer

    NMS:  There’s no warmup like a BLIMPS circuit warmup, and the PAX (including YHC) was smoked before we’d reached the halfway point in this 45 minutes of Trying reeaaallly Hard. Mumble chatter was strong, and the PAX enjoyed the first romance-torn fight of our hottest new bromance – OC & NTB. Great way to send off the French student. Strong work everyone! ~DTH

    • But you can’t get past fast hands walking the disc up the field – extra credit to Oyster, Draper, Roger Roger and OC in this department.
    • The dark team continued their dominating performance, ending the day with a 10-4 win. That’s 50 burpees making the strong guys stronger.

    NMS:  What a pleasure to have the summer tour in force at the Forge today – you can always count on some hilarious mumble chatter from the First Watch gang. The Forge tour ended up producing a wonderful well rounded sweatfest, and everyone was in agreement that it was better than the caber alternative. Also enjoyed the iced coffeerama afterwards.
