  • The one where Cookie found us.

    11 Sheep Dog came out at gloom in perfect weather for a Poncharella beat down. Warmed up the pack and strolled up Satans Hill to the In-Cadence abs, In-cadence chest, and In-cadence shoulders workout, We carried each other for a few hundred meters using the Fireman’s carry and the two-man carry which is when Cookie coincidentally joined the pack as we strolled back to the starting line repeating each party as we did. Close it out with COT, it was a Good Friday!

    Did I mention Cookie found his way?

  • Making Army studs look weak!

    12 Rockin Rollers set upon the stage to assess their own badassery, as they put themselves through the Army Combat Fitness Test with 3 deadlifts, the 25 meter sprint-drag-carry, as well as the long hold half-plank, the 12 pound ball throw, 2 minutes of maxed out hand release push-ups and culminated with a 2 mile run. Only those who scored above a 540 out of 600 possible points could be compared to the “Army Stud” and surprisingly, half of these PAX did exactly that, absolutely killed it!

  • 5K and the legend of El Chapin!

    15 warriors set out on a 5k journey with a variety of Sh*t in between. After a smooth bone crackling stretch job, mountain climbers and flutter kicks, we slid down to the monkey bars for some in-cadence pull-ups that only the strongest stayed in form. Along the 5k were random stops of intensity with merkins, diamond merkins, leg throws, flutter kicks, arm circles, apple pickers and more, all in count and in sync. Along the way we ran into Hector, a double respect FNG who almost passed out after a few minutes but refused to give up, showing good F3 spirit, at the end he earned his F3 name EL Chapin!

  • 2.1 Miles, Army Cadence, Tequila!

    11 truth seekers posted ready for the Ponch VQ. No FNG would arrive on this beatdown cause they heard this one would not be for the faint of heart. Ready, in-Cadence GO!!!!! Merkins, Arm Circles, Flutter kicks, Merkins, Leg-lifts, apple pickers then off for a stroll around the park. Airborne Daddy gonna take a little trip, mission uncertain, destination unknown and “My Granny” came along as well. That was just round 1, by the end, we toasted to the brotherhood. Im still sore from that beatdown two days later.
