Make note that Duke has not yet made its way down Camilla Dr, total blackout, which made for an adventurous stroll to Carmel Middle. BF and Cindy expectedly pushing the pace.
Everyone’s favorite Hungover Diplomat made mention of the seven workouts he respectfully saluted during his journey down to A51, hope you found your way home brother. Be sure to thank your boy Lloyd again for the burpee elbow drop during the beast. Incognito twins coming to a location near you; a must see #gigglepunches
Hitman was there and still loving on the Auburn Nation. #wareagle brother, we love the support.
Some questionable burpee form out there today during the Beast, YHC understands that it was late in the game, so we will address this at another time. Just don’t ask the #beekeeper.
The outlaws brought their A games today, well most of them, Q is spent #dingding. Thanks again Skywalker for the invite to lead this crew at DMZ, surprisingly very little mumblechatter – hope you fellas enjoyed what went down.
F3 website is blowing up with content. Many 2ndF events as we roll into Christmas and unlimited opportunities to make an impact within the community.

It only takes two for an official F3 workout, and two PAX it was. My observations on a two-person workout:
-“Circle it up” just doesn’t work with two, but it’s hard not to say it.
-During opening warm ups it’s difficult to determine where to fix your gaze… prolonged eye contact in a two person workout can become awkward.
-Finding the right partner for partner exercises requires little thought.
-And all kidding aside… the fellowship is strong. Strange Brew and I had a full year of fellowship conversation packed into 75 minutes. It was a reminder that a small group… even a group of two… can have the full F3 experience.

Thanks High Tide for the opportunity to lead this morning. YHC agreed to do this before knowing that YHC was also going to be filling in as Q at Joust the day before which meant three days in a row. Normally, that’s no problem, but it’s a little problematic as YHC is trying to get rid of a nasty case of plantar faschitis. So this morning when the feet hit the floor and the pain in the left heel was almost unbearable, YHC thought “Why did I have to agree to lead today?!”
Thankfully though, the pain diminished enough to hopefully give the pax a decent Thanksgiving weekend workout.
Welcome to FNG’s Malware (from Durham) and Fret. Like YHC, Fret is an actual Charlotte native. #EndangeredSpecies. Fret, hope to see you out in the gloom in the near future.

Thanks to the guys who showed up on Black Friday. YHC thought it might be a workout of 1 but Hops HC’d the day before and YHC guilted Stagecoach into crawling out of the #fartsack to post.
Great work by all.
7 PAX showed up for a morning warm-up. Sharing is caring, was todays theme as bringing you own challenge weight, PAX didn’t know we would all share in the pain, passing around a dose of pain.
The Thang
Round Robin – Each PAX Q’s for set of 14 reps.
Team exercise till PAX2 Fireman carry to next set of cones. Etc..
Q – Over to Young Love
Moleskin
Nice morning for all PAX to come together. Sharing is caring, was todays theme as bringing you own challenge weight, PAX didn’t know we would all share in the pain, passing around a dose of pain.
Sharing kettle bells to distribute weight to distribute the load was fun. While making 14 laps around the track was a good idea for Wolfman on his Q, I think the PAX had another idea in mind. Thanks for sharing the load on Q, and YoungLove to takeover at the end. Getting smoked on the jack webz and moving kettle bell mercans was a new one! #TCLAPS to all!

The shovel flag was planted as 6 pax arrived for Radar’s 36th birthday bashing. There was no clown with balloon animals, no bounce house…just a couple of sandbags in the Explorer and some rocks on the pile. This could have been the worst birthday party of all time.
The Thang
Run to the front of the school for a warmup of 20 SSHs (IC) and 20 high knees (IC).
Partner up. Partner A does left leg step ups with calf raises while Partner B runs a lap around the front school parking lot. Flapjack. Go until you get to 100 combined. Switch to right leg step ups with calf raises to a combined 100.
Run to the fields after stopping by Radar’s Explorer to grab 2 sandbags. Drop the sandbags and then go grab a rock. Back to field and drop the rocks and prepare for a brutal combination of pain.
Run to the back exit from the field for some rail slides…1st set of rails lead with the right…2nd set of rails lead with the left.
Run to the Yellow Rose shopping center parking lot. Bear crawl to first island…10 burpees…bear crawl to second island…10 burpees. Sprint back.
Run to side gate of fields…locked. Scale the fence, some more graceful than others. Back to the field and repeat the sandbag relay sprints and JackWebb with the rocks noted above.
Now time for some shots on goal…flat soccer ball…small soccer goal. For the first round, 10 burpees after a miss…Pax go 0-6. For the second round, another 0-6…some Mary after the first 3 misses and 12 burpees for each of the last 3 misses…36 burpees for Radar’s birthday.
Done. COT.

This began looking like another leg annihilation from Radar but as a birthday surprise, he quickly turned it into a shoulder beatdown. He’s an enigma, always keeping the Pax guessing.
At the rock pile, the Pax were warned to not be heroic. Bulldog didn’t hear that and picked up a monster rock. The Q challenged him to not put it back once he’d committed and so he lugged it to the field. It made for some tough sledding during the JackWebb climb. It was passed around among some of the Pax during the 2nd round.
The climb over the fence was a bit dodgy. Bulldog scaled it no problem but then Radar went and got himself tangled in the vines on the fence. All the Pax had that feeling of being embarrassed for someone. Probation almost bought the farm on his descent.
The Pax shots on goal were not very good…but it’s not like any of us have ever been professional soccer players…oh wait.
