PreBlast: The 12 Decks of Christmas

PreBlast: The 12 Decks of Christmas

Congratulations- you now have concrete plans for next Friday. Deck the Halls is back! A CSAUP that is great on so many levels. Can you believe that this will be the 9th deck run? What a world we live in. What started as a random Tuck weinke to hit all the decks in Ballantyne (7 at the time) at a random Brave workout in 2015 has blossomed into an essential holiday tradition that grows in legend and # of decks every year. As always, we have spent countless hours toiling away in the SOB Decknological Institute trying to make this year’s event the biggest and dumbest ever. And guess what… we did it. We are over the moon excited to present to you… The 12 Decks of Christmas.

Park yourself down for a general overview of how this will work:

1. Launch from the Brave
2. Run to the top of a parking deck via the ramps
3. Perform a a few called exercises at the top
4. Run down the stairs
5. Run to the next deck and rinse and repeat
6. Crucially, after all decks are complete, gorge on cookies

Our annual tour of Olde Decklenburg will take place on Friday, December 13th.  The event will be split into 3 stages, each launching from The Brave (11318 N Community House Rd, Charlotte, NC 28277).  Feel free to start with stage 1 OR stage 2.  It all depends on how much deck you think you can handle.

Stage 1 (4:20AM):

• 6 decks
• 5.5 miles
• 4:20AM launch, 5:30AM finish
• Route Hyperlink

Stage 2 (5:30AM):

• 6 decks
• 4 miles
• 5:30AM launch, 6:20AM finish
• Route Hyperlink

Stage 3 (6:30AM):

• Cookies and coffee.  Coffee will be provided.  Please bring cookies (preferably homemade) to share (completely optional)

Nothing says “holiday spirit” like the camaraderie of a pre-dawn deck challenge, followed by cookies and coffee to share. This is the perfect opportunity to wrap up the week strong with your F3 brothers and to feel accomplished and ready to take on the season.
