Moleskin:

Another awesome morning in the gloom at The Rock to make a downPAINment on the day.  The pax did a great job today with the distraction of the cameras rolling and kept good form throughout.  Thanks to Tiger Rag for preaching good form and having the pax in good shape to make F3 proud!  It was great having some of our Metro CLT brothers down for the morning.  Yes brothers, there is life and a sustainable society below Fairview Rd.

As soon as we know the show air date on NBC from the filming of this mornings workout and the interviews we will post it on the website and send out some tweets.  There may even be several F3ers in studio on set for the show, so be on the lookout to set your DVRs.

There were many Larry Birds today but by far the best performance was by Ricshaw, Stage Coach’s 2.0.  They both doubled down by posting at Stonehenge at 6:00 and coming straight over to The Rock afterwards.  Toward the end of the Beast YHC called for a suicide sprint to each cone and the whole pax got smoked by a quadruple Hate!  STRONG job little brother, STRONG!

OBT had a secret award ceremony as he had made some special Double Down GoRuck fire and snow patches made for the 4 pax, including Area 51’s The Shore, who participated in both GoRuck Challenges.  Another super strong showing and now they have some sweet patches to show for it.  Well done gents!

Great 3rd F prayer by Dredd with a ball of man at the end of the COT!  Please keep the following pax and families in your daily prayers as we lift each other up: Matlock and his daughter, Coal Miner’s Daughter and his daughter, and Cotton Mouth and his wife.

Announcements:
