Cindy 500 versus The Hardest Mile

  • The PAX: Mudslide, State Farm, Boberry, Posh, Fin, Hardywood, Big Rig

They both suck!!! Hardywood said that growth comes in the rough edges, not in the comfortable middle. There’s nothing comfortable about The Cindy 500. An Iron PAX challenge from last summer, YHC suggested we do one of those challenges from last year to State Farm and that was the first one he fired back. Holy smokes what a burn! Nothing like lifting a cinder block over your head a whopping 200 times! And that’s not even half the workout! And the grip strength training was not something that was anticipated either. Great to have Hardywood make the hike from Amelia,…

8 gazelles loped along the 2.5mile route Big Rig had laid out for Phase 1 of the CSAUP. Great way to see the surrounding area, and a proper warm-up for the pain that was about to ensue… LFGO! Run up Ecoff to bank Run Back Around the school Around the track 2.5miles, 5 minute break head to pull-up bars for Phase 2 of the CSAUP.

YHC was absolutely amped to have a crowd of 20 (including an FNG) to cap off the 1-year F3-Versary/ CSAUP. Really amazing to see the fellas make the trip for part/all of the triple dip of pain we went through this morning. As an ode to the GTE fitness tests and various armed forces PFT’s, YHC decided a little team competition for 2 minute maximums was in order. The shady math by Big Rig’s team came up with something like the following… Warmarama: (Lower Lot), Disclaimer, Various IC Warm-ups, F3 Mission, Principles, Pax Plank/Name circle NOTE: IF YOU SEE MCGRUFF…

Phase 2 of the triple decker CSAUP! After smashing a 2.5mile run at 4:30am, these 8 Swoldiers (including 2 tall freaks) paired up for some nasty morning wood around the pull-up bars. My hands/grip hurt and I can barely type. Worth it! Here’s what the Bermuda time travelers tackled… Warmarama: Arm Circles, Michael Phelps, Shoulder Opener, Hollow Rocks. PARTNER UP Escalate Up (1 then 1, 2 then 2… Restart after burnout) – 5 minutes Hangman Gauntlet (Hang Up to fail, down to fail while partner in Elbow Plank) – 6 minutes Partner Assisted (Max Reps, 3 sets each) Toe Touch…

On a muggy evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the air hung heavy with humidity, seven intrepid souls embarked on a mission to conquer the realm of fitness. Without a talked about synced plan, Meatball and Chaplain embarked on a “Double Q”. Warmorama: Chaplain led us out on a Mosey to the storage containers on the east fence line and in cadence… Side Straddle Hops, Copperhead Squats, Cherry Pickers, LBCs, Flutter Kicks, Heels to Heaven, Dead Man Hang, Toe Taps. #switchtheQ COP1: Indigenous Run around the church.

This is the After Action Review for the overnight ruck portion of GTE #47 that took place right here in F3RVA on Saturday evening at 6pm and ended at 9am Sunday morning. Calling it an overnight ruck really doesn’t do it justice. It was way more physically challenging than “just a ruck”. There was also so much leadership training and opportunities for camaraderie and personal growth. This is an event which YHC believes truly changed all the HIMs who participated in it for the better. First we will need to add a couple definitions which will continue as we go…

4 pax met at 8pm tonight to test the legs and the gear for 10 miles of rucking. Thanks to YHC’s impeccable route and mostly successful navigation of said route, we got the 10 miles in and went by the Swift Creek Resevoir at least twice. That hurt. TCLAPS to Rosie for completing the training at 1 percent personal battery according to his watch. Lessons learned: bring water and snacks, wear comfortable shoes, give your shoulders a break so your hands don’t go numb. Also Tobit has more AKAs than Old Dirty Bastard (RIP).

A notorious nine launched from Dogpile at 0400 for a walking tour of Richmond. Conditions were 70 and sunny, perfect for a 10-mile CSAUP. From Dogpile we trekked north to The Diamond for our first pit stop. YHC attempted to demonstrate how to tie a bowline knot, but it was rope-master Machismo who educated the PAX. We headed south down Hermitage into the heart of the Fan and lost Big Rig somewhere in the neighborhood as his time with us was also planned to be medium and sweet. Eastbound down Monument/Franklin to Monroe Park for pitstop #2. Continue south to…

With GTE#47 close to 3 weeks away 9 HIM’s beat the fartsack to wrap their arms around a shaved log and get a little better prepared for the unexpected. Here’s what we did: 0530 Kickoff from The Forge location Down Love Hill, Lunge a Bit, Bear Crawl one of Mt Chaplain’s hills, Ruck back up Embark into the Hood to DTH’s house we go Discover large shaved log and shoulder it out to the back yard Brief review of log carry methodology and safety Shoulder log for an uncomfortable loop around the property, trading places as needed Leave the log…
