As many of you have heard, F3 Gastonia will our 5-year anniversary with a convergence on Saturday, March 21, 2020 from 7:00 am – 9:30 am at Martha Rivers Park. In a new twist, the event will start with a ruck workout followed by a boot camp workout. A light breakfast and 3rd F event will follow. We will have multiple Qs for each workout, similar to previous convergences. The F3 Nation “Troubadours” have been notified and we will have several guests attending from other regions.

For the ruck portion: If you don’t have a ruck bag or plate, talk to some of the guys at Diablo Sammich (Whoopee, HIPAA, Watts Up, etc.) or guys from Folsom like Roadie, Sparky, Huck, or Montross and we’ll help you out. Some men have expensive Go-Ruck bags and special plates, but any old backpack (preferably with a chest clip) filled with any kind of weights will work in a pinch. Typically 25-35 lbs per pack is standard, but ‘you vs. you’.

For the boot camp portion: Expect minimal running and maximum beat-down. If you aren’t a runner, don’t let boot camp scare you away. Expect a focus on bodyweight exercises and less emphasis on running. The goal is for EVERYONE to participate in both workouts!

Huck has reserved a shelter for us as well for breakfast and 3rd F. With the picnic table setups, there will be a lot of seating but throwing an extra lawn-chair in your car that morning may be a good idea ‘just in case’.

More details to come, but mark your calendars and spread the word!
