If You Weren’t Already Wet, You Certainly Are Now!
12 Pax through caution to the wind and left the comforts of the warm fartsack to venture forth into the cold, soggy gloom to put a downPAINment on the day. Who knew we still loved to splash around in the mud puddles like we did when we where kids? Oh yeah, 500 of us did just that last weekend. Well we did it again this morning and it went a little something like this:
Baracus on Q
Jog around parking lot to the front of the activity center
COP
SSH x20
Merkin x20
Squat x20
RING OF FIRE
“Ring of Fire” PAX forms a circle and gets a number assigned. Follows the sets below. Number is called, participant sprints around the circle and returns to his spot, participant then leads PAX in his number for assigned exercise. Repeato until all members of the PAX have gone through.
Example: PAX does Bear Crawl in a circle until #1 is called, #1 runs around circle, returns to spot and leads PAX in 1 Merkin, PAX continues Bear Crawl until another number is called
Set 1 – Bear Crawl with Merkins
Set 2 – Lunges with Air Squats
THE BEAST
PAX performs 6 exercises, 6 sets, at 6 reps per set.
Example: PAX runs to first station, performs 6 merkins, runs to second station, performs 6 merkins, runs to third station, performs 6 merkins, then returns home stopping at station 2, 1, and the start (performing 6 merkins at each stop).
Set 1 – Merkin
Set 2 – Air Squat
Set 3 – Heels to Heaven
Set 4 – Burpee
Set 5 – Lunge
Set 6 – LBCs
Handoff to Mall Cop
Long Indian Run along the perimeter of the Church property out to the corner of Rea & Hwy 51, audible to leave the comfort of the sidewalk to continue the run slushing through the puddles in the front field. Continue around to the back of the church and out onto the baseball field.
Time for a little #GRC943 mini Welcome Party re-enactment (if you weren’t already wet from the rain, you certainly are gonna be wet now!):
Pax form 2 Ranks, For 7 minutes YHC would call out a command for the pax to do, in the water logged outfield in the puddles. Forward – pax would forward lean and do Merkins, Backward – pax would lie on their six and do flutter kicks, Roll Left, Roll Right, Up – Pax would run in place. YHC would continue to call out these commands in various order and for varying times. (Crowd Favorite) Pax threatened mutiny! More on this in the Moleskin.
Mosey over to the Entrance 4 Hill for backwards lunge walk down, backwards lunge walk back up, 10 Burpees at the top.
Mosey over to parking lot for Dolly x 20, Freddie Mercury x 20, Flutter x 20.
Jail Break all you’ve got back to the virtual shovel flag.

Moleskin:
What a morning to get out and exercise the body! While at first it sucked and the warm fartsack sounded like a better alternative, all 12 real men got to have fun playing in the muddy puddles in the middle of a cold rain storm, get a great workout, and have fun in the process with some 2nd F with great friends!
Welcome to FNG Surfer Girl! Great job and we hope to see you out in the gloom again soon.
Baracus tried to kill our sholders and legs with the Ring of Fire and graciously called an audible to head over to run The Beast. It’s pretty bad when you look forward to running the BEAST rather than 1 more circuit in the Ring of Fire.
YHC was saving part of our #GRC943 welcome party exercises for just the right time and this morning was it with the cold water logged field. I hope the pax enjoyed it as much as we did during our Challenge. Checkpoint and Cotton Mouth had great flash backs to that cold wet night at the USNWWC. YHC cut it short to 7 mins as I had planned on running it for 10, however the talks of a mutiny started rumbling amongst the pax with a fireman carry of Mall Cop and toss over the fence into the holding pond.
Announcements:
Sign-Up for F3 Golf on 5/29! It will be a great time with lots of good 2nd F and all Area51 Pax are encouraged to participate. You don’t have to have a foursome as you can sign-up yourself and be paired with others for a group.
New 3rd F during lunch to launch soon in Ballentynne at Moe’s.
New Base Camp style lower intensity workout to start on Thursday, May 1st at Matthews Elementary.
Until Next Time!
Where The Kettle Bell Meets The Ruck
(4) SPEARHEADS triumphed over the fartsack tractor beam ( “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” – Woody Allen) to post at CMS for a high intensity continuous kettlebell ( HICK ) workout. The QIC arrived with 10 pro kettlebells ( Valery Federenko would have been proud) ranging in weight from 12 to 32 KILOGRAMS, 25 – 72 pounds. No one left disappointed
The Thang
Brief Warmup:
Pax farmer walk KB’s from parking area to turf, then
- 15 Side-straddle hops , in cadence
- 15 Cherry-pickers, aka grass-cutters, in cadence
- 10 Imperial walkers, in cadence
- 15 Merkins
First Evolution – Stations of downpainment:
Stations:
- 14 count KB man-maker – a troubled polygamous relationship involving a long cycle clean and jerk, a burpee, a merkin, and 2 one-armed rows. #oxygendebtimpending
- Figure 8’s – single bell travels between legs ( #cautionadvised) , switch hands, then outward with a high swing, stopped by opposite hand, drop through legs, forming figure 8 pattern of sorts
- OALC – one arm long cycle clean and jerk
- OAS – alternating one-arm swings
- Snatch – #explanationunnecessary
- Farmer walk with sumo deadlifts – pax transports 62# and 72# kb’s 20 yards, turns 180 degrees, performs 5 sumo DL’s , rinse and repeat
Second Evolution – Modded Wod , there’s a lot to like about Cindy:
Each pax selects a KB, does 3 exercises each round: Merkins, 4 count flutter kicks, Russian swings ( the Pavel variety).
Begin with 10 reps for the first round , then 15 for the second, then 20 for the third, and so on. AMRAP for 10 minutes.
Time flies when you’re having fun. All pax finished in the round of 25 or 30 or 35.

Moleskin:
I not so secretly hoped that nobody would show up for a cold, rainy workout. I even tried to talk my 2.0 (Taffy) out of going after he got up. Hopper had told me he’d definitely be there, so off we went. Hopper was already there, Pele pulled in and then High Tide came in on two wheels at 7:00. Our attempts to stay relatively try were silly – puddles everywhere. It was a good workout though, and the rain wasn’t too bad. Once you’re wet, you’re wet.
You can do anything for 30 seconds
5 pax showed up for what was to be a fairly moist morning at Day Zero. There was some talk about just heading straight over to Starbucks and making up a solid workout for the backblast. I would have done it and I’m sure that shocks everyone. But since Frasier loves the rain so much we decided to push onward.

Moleskin
Let’s be honest. No one wanted to be there this morning. But in the end it wasn’t that bad. I can say that after last night, it ended up being good for a few of us to sweat out some extra curriculars. Bugeater was very quiet today. He must have gotten after it last night. And speaking of Bug, poor guy was partnered with Turkey Leg on Tuesday and Frasier today for running exercises. Man you gotta wiggle your way towards the slow guys. I expected Purple Haze to have some weaker legs after his date last night but he was strong today so we all know what that means #strikeout. Thought bringing out the punching bag was a great idea until the Indian run carrying it back to the school. Haze made the comment that it weighed more than him – nothing to brag about. Once the rest of us got tired of carrying it, Mighty Mite stepped up as expected and carried it the rest of the way for us. Was fun beating the crap out of that thing. If there was one performance on the punching bag that would prove someone needs to travel with back up to a scrum, Bug would win that award. As always, thanks for letting a degenerate like myself lead.

Great work by all. I knew I didn’t want a lot of running and tweeted this would be mostly an upper body workout. Hopefully it was try to form. I must thank google maps for showing me all the speed bumps. I do believe we hit them all. The DEATHSTAR, I used one other time at the old rebel yell and thought it would a great idea to have it show it’s ugly head. It did not disappoint. Think deadman burpee into a star jump. No cheating with this one. Great name terrible idea(thanks haze). Hope this gets used again. Spackler was a beast on the final speed bumps. Left it all on the field. Semi- gloss decided to show 10 min late for the pre-KB Swing and true to form started complaining about something. Nice call Spackler.
Thanks for allowing me to lead everyone into the gloom. It was nice to get back into the Q.
Thanks for the send off Spackler.
Area 51 and Fort Mud Run Re-Cap
WARMUP:
After months of training and preparation, April 12 arrived and 68 men from Area 51 and The Fort were ready to put their bodies and minds to the test. The USMC Leatherneck Mud Run…the Super Bowl of F3 events. The pax had endured countless emails and tweets from YHC regarding logistics. My last email (threat) was to be on time for the bus. This of course meant that I barely slept the night before for fear of oversleeping myself. Starting at 0430, one set of headlights after another rolled into South Charlotte Middle School.
YHC was heckled for my camp counselor like clipboard. Heck, I made fun of myself for that. With all pax accounted for, we had a quick Ball-O-Man then off we went. We made a brief pit stop to pick up the Fort guys.
The bus ride down to Columbia was pretty subdued. I guess that’s what getting up at 0400 (or earlier) will do to you. Most guys rested. Some guys fueled up. Voluntary donations were collected to support Operation Enduring Warrior. About half way there, guys started their pre-game rituals. We discovered very quickly that the light bulb in bus # 1 was burned out. Better take your phone as a flashlight. By 0700, everyone was ready and the bus was entering the Leatherneck parking lot.
Most of my comments are from bus # 1’s perspective. Others please sound off in the comments whether you were on bus # 1 or 2.

F3 as a whole completely dominated the event. Of the 688 total teams that entered, here’s how F3’s placed:
- Took the top 12 spots
- Top 19 of 25
- Top 34 of 50
- 96% of F3 teams finished in the top 50% (all Area 51 teams)
Congratulations to team ‘Closetalkers’ for taking first place within Area 51 with a time of 1:09:52. Closetalkers consisted of Tiger Rag, Hops, Fletch and Honey Bee. Nice job, fellas! They were presented with the new Area 51 mud run trophy to share for the next 6 months. Will they defend their title in October? Or will a team of hate-hates knock them off their perch?
EXTENDED COFFEETERIA:
A ton of 2nd F was shared with F3 nation. F3 Columbia wins the award for the coolest cooler!
At 1100, we gathered for a group photo as well as more announcements from YHC. With the final roll call and headcount (twice) confirmed, off we went. The bus ride home is a great spot for 2nd F. Mud run war stories are shared, food and beverages are shared.
MOLESKIN:
- Special shout-out and thanks to Champagne for heading up the sundries. Also, thanks to all the pax that helped Champagne with coolers, ice, etc. We all owe major T-claps to Donkey Kong for designing and creating Area51’s new Leatherneck trophy (trophy name pending). Lastly, thanks to each and every A51 and Fort participant for making this an awesome event! Because of you, we shared all 3 F’s.
- Here are some feats of strength and moleskin-esque material shared by some of the pax.
Bugeater:
A vision of Tadpole scaling the up and over of the 10-foot wall was quite a demonstration. Someone gave him a push off but he leaped up and over like nobody’s business.
Jamboree’s reply to my question of his first time mudrun experience “what did you like most jamboree?” His reply an instant classic. “I liked the mud parts.” Nothing like a bunch of grown men acting like kids again!
A comedic moment was Radar waiting for me to grab hold of him to come through the tire. I was unwilling to hug radar and more or less just balanced my belly on his back and he was like “Geez Bug just grab onto me”. I said “just start moving forward Radar.”
Coming around the final turn and completely bug-zapped of all energy, Soul Glow picked me up like a sack of potatoes and carried me the full distance to the finish line. While pounding his way to the finish line a team was coming into Glow’s path and he gave out a direct command of “coming through” in a way that meant move or be ran over. There was absolutely nothing gonna stop this locomotive. An astounding feat of strength!
Hops:
Was at the “walk the plank” obstacle. Bugeater was two logs to my left. He lost his balance, then jumped to the log to his right. He still hadn’t caught his balance, so he jumped another log to his right. Impressive and showing yet again why we sometimes refer to him as the Dancing Nebraskan.
Also, on the bus ride down – Team Closetalkers’ Honey Bee remarked that he shaved his head last night for better aerodynamics….to which Tiger Rag remarked: “All you did was create micro-abrasions for paramecium.” Only TR could utter that phrase. Good humor.
Chopsaw:
Feats of strength: Backdraft rolled his ankle during the race. And I mean rolled it. Was the swollen pretty good on the ride home. Not only does the tough son of a bitch finish the race, he is the carrier on the fireman’s carry. Glad to have that guy in my corner!
Runnin’ around the schoolyard
The VSF was planted by Bugeater (does Hydra have a SF?), and 19 of F3’s finest set out for another pain-filled edition of Hydra. Yankee joined us after the warmup lap around OP, making it an even 20 pax this morning.

Great group this morning. T-claps to the fellas who ran in: Chico, Kirk, Puddin’ Pop and Bugeater. YHC noted some especially strong performances from Gummy, Brisket, Kirk…and I’m sure I’m missing others.
Wolfman, due to fatherly duties – had to claim LIFO (first out) at 6:00. You can set your watch to it Thursday mornings. Yankee (who also claimed LIFO due to his last in status) still owes us another lap around OP! And good to see Zima posting – hadn’t seen you in a while brother. Also – special welcome to Steinbrenner and Bushwood, both of whom were FNGs to Hydra I believe.
Hydra has become a solid AO, and the pax is always bringing it there. Good work men. Pleasure to Q this morning.
Great sendoff by La-Z-Boy reminding us why we celebrate Easter.

Moleskin:
YHC posted last night to bring smoke boots today. We moved constantly. I told the pax that I did not have a plan but I did have an idea as to what we were going to do. Goal was to have a high heart rate the entire time. I think for the most part this was accomplished. Intel crushed it today. Utter sand bagged until the end. Spackler shouted god is watching you several times. Good group and not a great deal to report. Everyone worked hard and there wasn’t much mumble chatter. Thanks for letting me lead
