Hills, logs, rocks, rucks and fun
14 pax entered the gloom. 14 returned.
The Thang:
7 pax showed for an early 1.5 miles at 5:15. The rest joined us for about 3.5 more at 5:30.
During our group run, 10 of us had rucks, and all of us shared coupons: the American Flag, a 25 lb Kettlebell, a good sized rock, and a good sized tree trunk.
Moleskin:
We’re now up to 10 of the 11 pax from South Charlotte joining us this morning for our GoRuck training. Only Dolphin no-showed. I guess he was resting his abs in the fartsack.
Many fresh faces today including the 4 without rucks: Abacus, Deep Dish, and Big Bird and his newly name 2.0 – Tweety (Cross-country runner extraodinaire). Thanks for coming our guys. Strong work. Hope you enjoyed the coupons.
Not much chatter once you get to carrying that log. Fellowship through adversity is just as strong a bond as fellowship through conversation though.
Bugeater looked like a kid at Christmas with his rucksack looking like it was just out of the box.
When I was carrying the log with Haggis, he positioned himself near the center of the log at first. The thing was nearly teetering on his shoulders, leaving practically no weight for YHC. Haggis was happy to move forward though and share the burden.
Headcounts need work. With 2 lines it becomes more complicated and I don’t think we ever really got good at alternating the count from one side of the line to the other and up to the front. We’ll keep working at it though. Don’t want to leave any man behind!
ABSolute DownPAINment
ABSolute DownPAINment…well at least for YHC. 33 pax jumped out of the fartsack and into the gloom at Death Valley and got right to work.

Pax may have noticed we did a fair amount of ABS work today…apparently I haven’t done enough of that in the past. Hope everyone got what they were looking for. Seriously, strong effort by the pax today. We never really stopped moving. #F3Strong #DolphinSmoked
Welcome to Death Valley FNGs Craps and Double D’s. Hope you enjoyed your post and will come back again soon.
Usain Bolt on Hiatus – No wide open sprint to start things off as YHC just didn’t have the legs for it after Tiger Rags CORE-bine yesterday. Couldn’t have kept up with Joker any way.
A Ruckin’ We Will Go – several pax posted with rucks on, GORUCK Challenge training is in full effect.
Clipboard totin’ Ms in the House – well at least on an adjacent soccer field. Only interaction was
“Who is that?” from the Queen Clipboard when one of the pax yelled out “Good Morning Charlotte”. Not sure if she got her answer.
Announcements
– Inaugural SCLT HDHH is tonight at New South restaurant in the Arboretum at 1800 (6pm). For those in the F3 Fuel Challenge, rest assured they have water and carrot sticks on the menu so plenty for the pax to enjoy. May be a good time to use that cheat card. Seriously, hope folks will come on out and enjoy some 2nd F.
– Stonehenge – new SCLT Saturday workout in Ballantyne. Great response at the launch last week. Starts at 0630 in the parking lot of The Vines Restaurant. Co-site Qs Haggis and Dolphin will begin leading the pax this week. Be sure to EH guys you know that live in the area.
– F3 GORUCK Gear Night at Great Outdoor Provision Company off Park Road on 1/16/2013 at 1800. Great opportunity to ask gquestions of GOPC staff on clothing, gear, etc. whether for GORUCK Challenge or not. HDHH to follow.

Great to be back with the Pax after an extended holiday absence! Unfortunately said absence made keeping up with my own workout more challenging then I expected. #useitorloseit
A CDD/Merkin 11’s Ladder *will* turn your shoulders to tapioca. I believe it was Bulldog (fka Wanker) I heard comment “that’s a good combination.” T-claps to all the Pax for muscling through this one. #yourewelcome
Part of the goal of this workout was to give us all a taste of what it’s like to have to drag around a cumbersome coupon and still perform. With more than two-thirds of the Pax dropping (throwing) their rock coupons on the ground at the end of the Indian Run and recovering hands-on-knees I’m confident we’ll have a few more of them joining for the next GORUCK. #goodlivin
The Cackalacka Coupon Choo Choo was ambitious and difficult to explain. But Q’s team still won by decision. I promise no more than one new exercise per post from now on. #overachiever
Welcome to our FNGs Sharkbait (first post, Lex Luthor’s EH) and Matt Roller (second post after Stonehenge — Tiger Rag *didn’t* scare them all away!). Sorry, Matt, but “Snake Eyes” has already been bestowed upon another Pax prior, so you’ll get an even better (or worse) name at your next post.
Note to self: bring Eucalyptus Oil next post for Runstopper. Or Pampers.

Twenty two skunks got after it for a CORE / Combine mashup.

- After a week off for Christmas and a New Year’s Day Convergence, it was back to business for the Skunk Pax. Kotters to all, but especially Sparky who hadn’t posted in so long that he forgot what time we started–moseyed in around 0550. No matter, glad to have you back.
- Changed things up a little today, mixing several of the F3 staples into one package: Core, KBs and Sprints. Abs may be made in the kitchen but functional fitness is all about core strength.
- Glad to have Fishwrap and his Hippity Hop KB in the Pax. Uncle convinced him to get some Skunk and then posts elsewhere. Rumors of Slaughter peer pressure… Probably ate three honey buns for breakfast, too.
- T-Claps to #WombFish for taking third at the 43 mile Race of Idiots this past weekend. YHC can’t imagine more than three people would want to run 43 miles consecutively, but apparently that’s the case. All the more impressive that three days later: 1). He posted. 2.) With a Ruck, and 3.) Was near the front on many of the sprints.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- YHC needs to give up spot for the GoRUCK. Please contact me at TigerRagF3@gmail.com if interested.
- Just as you are getting used to your new nutrition plan, the Fuel Team issues it’s first Weekly Challenge today to take it up a notch. See website for details.
- First S-CLT HDHH at Dakota’s in Arboretum Wednesday starting at 6 pm. T-Claps to Hops and Dora for organizing. Wear your RUCK and enjoy a nice soda water.

Great showing by all today despite the frigid start. Thin Crust refused defeat in the indian run rotations, strong work brother. Coffeteria was well represented with guest appearences by Zipadee and Joker. Lots of talk about the USNWC convergence and today’s workout was a good step in our preperation.
And So It Begins
Fifty-two** found their way to the heart of Ballantyne for the launch of Stonehenge. One in three was an FNG.
(**Fuzzy math in there somewhere with a Bulldog [sic] LIFO, FNGs scattered all over the lawn and a frozen paw scribbling frantically, the exact may be off. 50, 51, 52…No matter. It was huge, Jerry. Huge.)

- Well. That was a pleasant surprise. With only a few friendlies in the Ballantyne area, we didn’t know what to expect. Fifty two with 17 FNGs is a great start.
- T-Claps to The Rock Qs and Pax for supporting the launch by way of mini-convergence.
- Seventeen FNGs in the gloom. Outstanding effort. Look forward to seeing you out again next week and head locking your Ballantyne neighbors.
- Given the size of the AO, there will be a little more running between pain stations than the normal S-CLT workout. Lots of real estate to explore. #LandOfOpportunity.
- Lift up The Shore’s family in prayer–his dad was just diagnosed with cancer.
A Rucking we will go
10 pax showed up (including 7 of the 11 Charlotte South GoRuckers) for some early morning fitnes, fellowship, and good livin’.
The Thang:
Ray Charles and The Drill must have showed up at 5am or so to do their standard 6 miles. By time we finished Ray Charles was still there to greet us. The Drill was flying away for more important buisness.
ZipADee, Far Side and YHC set off at 5:15 to get 1.5 miles in, and returned just in time to join the rest of the crew for some GoRuck style training.
Our single file march took us through the woods and over hils; rucks, 25 pound KB, the American Flag and one fallen tree in tow. We probably covered just over 3 miles in about 45 minutes.
Moleskin:
This was a great start for most of us. 7 of 11 south Charlotte GoRuck pax isn’t bad, but we’ll be shooting for more in the coming weeks. I could swear Runstopper emailed me he’d be there this morning. He must have gotten lost on the way over. See you next week Mr. Swan.
The “No Guts, No Glory” award goes to Strange Brew. In just a few short months he is attempting a remarkable transformation. From upchucking sloth to fit, inpiring stud. Keep up the hard work SB! It’s great to have you aboard.
It was nice to see some of the non-Ruckers not scared away by the threat of a few bricks. ZipADee was truely embracing the moment and even got to try on a ruck for himself by the end of our trek. Feels good doesn’t it?
Between the New Year’s break, yesterday’s Indian Run inspired lunge/squat-a-thon, and today’s work, I’m feeling a little sore today. And yes, that does feel good too.
The Indian Run/Hop/Crawl/etc.
18 men entered the dark gloom for some Indian Run style activities.
The Thang:
2 lines – Standard Indian Run, 1/4 mile
Karyoke Indian Run, 1/4 mile
Backward Run Indian Run, 1/4 mile
Australian Peel Back (APB) – the line lunges, the peel backer bear crawls, 50 yards
APB – the line backward lunges, the backer peels/bear crawls up front, 50 yards
Line – elbow plank, backer hops the legs to the front, close to 100 yards
APB – the line squat walks, the peel backer crab walks, 50 yards
APB – the line backward squat walks, the backer peels/crab walks to the front, 50 yards
Line – a$$-up plank, backer low crawls through the tunnel to the front, 100 yards
Buddy-Up Indian “Run” – the line wheelbarrows, the back Fireman’s Carry’s their way to the front
COP – each man runs around the circle, one at a time, exercise changes with each lap
Plank, Left hand high, Left leg high, Left hand high, Plank, Right hand high, Right Leg high, Right hand high, Regular, Recover, LBC, Flutter, Dolly, Rosalita, Bicycle, LBC, Russian Twist x 2
Indian Run 1/4 mile and back to parking lot
The Moleskin:
YHC had much fun devising this one for this morning. Hope all enjoyed the work.
Welcome to two FNG’s this morning! Luther, EH’ed by the Mighty Lance, named after Lex Luther. And Elliot, brought in by Stone Cold, encouraged by Ice Hole, and named for his alma mater’s namesake crossing of the Delaware and said effect on the Revolutionaries fingers and toes. Great to have you both aboard. It only gets easier from here.
The wet weather made for some sloppy play. I think it was Young Love who took a spill while encircling the COP providing some much needed comic relief during a time of struggle.
The Buddy-Up Indian Run did not go as smooth as I had hoped (at least 2 more rounds were planned). Not sure which part through us off, the wheelbarrow or the Fireman’s carry. Both need work though
50 yards may not sound like much, but in an Australian Peel Back, the front of the line keeps whittling away and so progress is slow indeed. It seems like we could have kept lunging in one place forever, but I guess that’s the point when your line is attacking the enemy and you need to maintain a constant onslaught of fire.
Reminders:
Devil’s Turn tomorrow morning, 5:15 or 5:30. GoRuck team training (though rucks are not required, all are welcome). Miles will be covered, coupons will be carried
Saturday, Area 51 is on at 7am. The Rock is off. And Stonehenge officially launches at 6:30 somewhere near those big stone statues in Ballantyne.
New Years Day Charlotte Metro/South Convergence
The year was New, the flags were planted, the gloom was…. gloomy, and even the news cameras were out to greet 115 eager Pax to Freedom Park to welcome 2013 in grand F3 style. The theme was a no holds barred workout for Veterans and an equally gruelling menu with less running for FNGs and Core. Just like father time, we planned to keep moving moving moving.
The Thing
Hyannis took the FNG/Core group while the rest warmed up with some side straddle hops, merkins, squats, mountain climbers, and little baby crunches. The Pax were self-divided into three groups led by Slaughter, Ben Franklin, and Swamp Fox. We each took off to one of three stations and switched quickly to the next upon completion.
Station 1 = Tennis courts. 11’s across 2 courts with jump squats and burpees. If time allowed a set of suicides with 5 burpees to finish.
Station 2 = Robert Plant Steps. 10 dips, 10 decline merkins (derkins), and 10 wall -jumps. Bunny hop up the steps, around the loop, and back down to the wall. 15 dips, 15 derkins, and 15 wall jumps. Bunny hop back around for 20 of each. Back up the steps for the supine pull-up ladder in cadence. 10, 8, 6, 4, 6, 8, 10. SMOKER!
Station 3 = Hamburger Hill at the Nature Museum for Jacob’s Ladder. Up the hill, 1 burbee, down the hill and around the circle, back up to the top for 2 burpees. Repeat to 7 burpees. Plank to finish.

– News 14 was on-hand to capture our efforts. They sent their News Chopper up for the shot of all the pax attached to this post. (Or maybe that was a Simon and Garfunkle concert in Central Park in 1978). Catch the real footage on News 14 or here in my bootleg version
http://youtu.be/2GN0lhAXiSk
-Being that there was a special FNG workout to entice and celebrate new membership, we were honored to have Jail Bait, Syrup, High Life, Austin, Blackhole, Tom Sawyer, and Pink join us for the first time. Thanks for helping us grow!
-From Ben Franklin – Ended up with a strong group today…though I almost lost them straight out of the chute when I took off towards the pond #Abel-style and it seemed only Girardi followed. Seemed that not everyone recognized that the guy in the red hat was the one to follow, but soon enough, the larger group joined in for the brisk warm-up jaunt over to Hamburger Hill. Had some real beasts out front pushing the pace with me today – Girardi, Joker, Kaiser and Stinger, among others, kept the pressure on me to move faster and run harder at the workout spots and during the runs in between. I only hope I wasn’t holding those guys up – the pace was pretty much all-out from the get-go with zero rest and I, for one, was completely and utterly smoked when CRocket mercifully called COT. Hope the Pax enjoyed the sprint finish…just a sample of what we do every Friday at #Combine. Good to see lots of folks going balls-out after powering through the prior 50 minutes – we tried to up the ante and put together a quality test for folks today. All that being said, my favorite part of the workout today was simply having The Nibbler in my group for the full 60. 60 full minutes of #cheesybratwurstbeer-filledchatter from #bow-leggedBucky. Loved every minute of it. The chatter even started yesterday at #DH when I told him that the workout would involve covering some decent distance, and not at a mosey-like pace. IMHO, no workout can ever have enough #Nibblerchatter.
– From Swamp Fox – #TeamCelebrity posted on my six, following our brief CoP, and we were off, intensity high. We pulled the short straw and hit the the tennis courts first. Robo was an absolute beast on the 11s and YHC snuck in some bear crawling where the Cougar and Madonna smoked the field. Such a strong group today, no mercy, amazing the strength of the veteran crew! #crickets, chatter was surprisingly mild amongst this Pax, so I assume all were satisfied. There was one Q poke at the Supine ladder, don’t get too confident brother, the last rep will get ya.Shout out to Hillary rocking the WV, TML for leading the Nation in the field sprints and either a shout out or an act of sympathy to our brother Little John for carrying the rucksack throughout the entire beat down – hope you can get out of bed tomorrow, well done!Since the strategy was to have a FNG modified workout and a Veteran’s workout today, YHC along with BFranklin and Slaughter, knew we had to deliver. The result, an ultimate zero rest smokefest to begin 2013 – I hope the Pax were as smoked as YHC.
-From Hyannis – 115 Pax to ring in the New Year, strong proud showing for the F3 Nation. The Great Spirit of the Cherokee tribe must have thought so too, held off on the rain til 5 minutes after we rolled out of the park.
Ready for your close up? Appeared to be some serious professional video action going on out there not sure the source but look forward to seeing the results
TClaps to all the FNGs who posted: Special shout out to Austin who almost pulled a Larry Bird on the Jacob’s Ladder. Almost, but not quite.
-From Slaughter – Nash is really fast, Mall Cop’s knee hurt.
-Thanks to Crotch Rocket for being the man behind the curtain as always and organizing this convergence; leadership at its finest.
It was an honor to participate in the planning and execution of this event. We all welcome the opportunity to be a part of something that has brought so much to our lives. We can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store for F3! – SF, BF, S, and H

-So slapshot, our native upstate new yorker, shows up in two layers of everything this morning… including 2 hats… #thinblood
-Speaking of slapshot, he jumped the gun on the 40-yard sprint, but he probably couldn’t hear the official start b/c of the extra layers on his ears.
-For the rock carry/sprint, Tiger Rag — true to form — decided that a manly rock would be about the size of VW bug. Must be all that kettle bell swinging that gets that testosterone flowing.
-Good to see all the 2.0s out in the gloom this morning.
-Remember, Skunkworks is closed on Jan 1. If you are looking for a workout, join us at the Metro convergence at Freedom Park. Meet at the Cinnebare at the Arboretum at 6:25AM for a prompt departure for Freedom Park.
