The MURPH:
In memory of Lt. Michael P. Murphy (United States Navy SEAL)
Thanks for the 14 PAX that came out Saturday and threw those logs around like a bunch of savages. The only thing that would have made the day better is if Dr. Feelgood had gotten his phone to work, and some rain, of course.
Start with the Pledge, of course.
Warmup
Formation run up Garrison through church parking lot to Sherwood Middle School. WU done to 4 count cadence.
Thang #1
Partner up then 3 rounds of 1 lap, max Merkins and max body weight rows or pull ups. PAX run together then while one’s pushing the other’s pulling, then switch exercises = 1 round.
Thang #2 (Log PT +/- 200lb each)
Extra Credit (Ring of fire version 2.0)
1st man sounds off and every body does 1 rep (Merkins), 2nd man, 2 reps, third man, you guessed 3 reps and so on.
Mosey back for COT and Name-O-Rama.
Moleskin
Is anybody interested in training for a go ruck event ( goruck.com ) or doing our own? We could add Monday or Friday to the rotation and start rucking once a week. Any questions or interest email Woody at joem42@hotmail.com and we can work something up.

As of this writing, there are 77 days left to the 2015 edition of BRR. There are 53 F3 Teams registered from all over our footprint with an additional 3 on the waiting list. That’s about 500 men who will be traversing the rugged NC mountains on foot and in a big white van. Teams from all over NC and SC, along with a team from the Commonwealth to our north (Richmond).
“Borrowing” from The Show’s Pre blast from last year. #wheel
Teams are listed here List of F3 Teams
Captains should sign up for updates from BRR here Blue Ridge Relay Race Site Make sure your team is familiar with all the rules.
As with every year, the course changes due to constuction, road conditions, or local resistance to runners coming through their slice of heaven in the middle of the night. So be sure to check the site frequently.
Training
Time to start increasing the miles. Rule of thumb is to not increase mileage by more than 10% per week. While I’m sure each region has multiple running options, try to plan some “off the books” runs with your teams….it would be a good idea to eventually add a #double down evening run.
Also, since the race does occur in the mountains, it’s a good idea to add some hills to your training. Strong legs will not only help you run up these mountains, but will also keep you healthy through out training.
Just because you have to run more, don’t forget to attend your bootcamps. TeamSoccerArms is not the way to go. Strong men finish well. Be well rounded.
Anyone that wants a t-shirt can order one here. T-shirt
patches can be ordered here Patches
Gear
The following must be worn at night. “Reflective vest, flashing light on front and back and a headlamp or flashlight must be carried”
Transportation
Rent Vans from Enterprise use code # 53SA320-BLU for race discount CLT area PAX can also check Adventure Vans
If you haven’t made reservations yet, it is strongly suggested you do so soon!
Lodging
Only van 1 needs to be at the start and lodging will be dependent upon your start time and where you are coming from. There will be some updates available here for options.
Questions: Please contact me at Steviered1966@gmail.com
Good luck with your training. Continue reading
11 Men battled the GLOOM this morning for the workout at Goat Island.
The morning started out with a bit of a shock to the PAX when we found out the gates were locked to Goat Island Park, but that did not deter anyone. The PAX set up shop in the parking lot, grass, and gazebo and got to work. Music, Cinder Blocks, Benches, and a Gazebo made for a great morning.
Start with Pledge of Allegiance
WU:
Circle Up (In Cadence)
THE THANG:
BRING SALLY UP-
This comes from the movie Gone In 60 Seconds (Our Arms were gone in 60 seconds after this nice exercise). Mericans set to cadence of the song Flower by Moby. Bring Sally Up- Go Up, Bring Sally Down- Go Down. x 3 minutes
PARTNER UP WITH CINDER BLOCKS
Partner 1 does exercise 1 while partner 2 runs to designated area does exercise 2 and runs back and the partners switch exercise. Continued until all repetitions are completed. Plank Until all PAX are finished.
RING OF FIRE
INDIAN RUN AROUND PARKING LOT AND SIDEWALKS
PARTNER BACK UP WITH CINDER BLOCKS
FRENCH FRIES x 10 Both Arms

Gone in 60 seconds at #GoatIsland
We won’t be boosting any cars tomorrow or driving a 1967 Ford Mustang named Eleanor, but you can channel your inner Memphis Raines (Nicholas Cage) while grinding through the upper body beatdown that BA will provide you.
Extra Credit to anyone who knows why this workout will be called Gone In 60 Seconds.

16 Pax conquered the fart sac to better themselves in a not so humid morning (only 80-90% I’m sure) Some good mumble chatter this morning about achy legs so I’ll try to keep the running to a minimum.
The Thang:
BRR boys took off running at crazy speed to continue training for that upcoming insanity while the rest of us took a lil mosey to warm up. Broke off for a circle of LBACs small, big, and reverse. Prisoner squat x20 and Hill Billies x20. Mr. Cotter better late than never. Back on the mosey.
Peel off to circle up surrounded by trees for Variation of dying cockroach x15 Carolina dry docks x15 and pickle pumber x15 recover on the mosey.
Everyone down for a little plank compass while two pack ran up the stairs and did 30 LBCs and return continued this with variations of protractor staggered merkins and plankorama about half way through right after two pax went up for LBCs two Pax returned some a little confused thinking they did stairs grew beards and came back but it was our F3 brothers Fabio and Milo from Raleigh joining us glad you found us more the merrier.
Continued to pull up/dip bars splint into somewhat two groups for a six pack and lap around lake doom. 6 pack consisted up 1 pull up 5 merkins then 2 pull ups 4 merkins and so on to one… planked until our six arrived. Recovered on the mosey.
Peeled off again up towards volley ball court/sand pit? for deconstructed burpees. Rinse and repeat. Mosey back to flag for some Mary.
Mary:
Picked at random each pax called out an exercise x15 flutter kicks LBCs the real dying cockroach windshield wipers way to go Capt. stubbing for taking us to 15 on that one and damn burpees by Parrot head and a couple others I was too worn out to remember.

Aye!
F3 brothers the Hurricane is coming to North Charleston SC!
On Saturday, 27 June at 0700 F3 Summerville will kick out its first created #CSAUP! It will be a four hour event with lots of pain, suffering, and brotherhood. We have planned a great workout for you – challenging all parts of the body! To top it off we will hang out and drink some great beers brewed by the Low Country’s own Coast Brewing Company. You will also earn a Hurricane patch to boast of your exploits.
Since F3 Summerville first launched Faultline in January we have been blessed with tremendous growth. That first AO has spawned into so much more – Bootcamps – Faultline, Seismic, Aftershock and Magnitude. Running – Tremor. Biking – Oscillator. Swimming – Tsunami. Service – Landslide. Fellowship – Liquefaction. Faith – Epicenter. Even for all of us it is still incredible to see and feel the changes in ourselves and experience this as brothers. We have men who have never run a race prepping for the Blue Ridge Run. We have men who were in mediocre fitness levels training for a GoRuck in September. Men are challenging themselves and each other everyday and in doing so improving their lives all around – and serving the community!
F3 Summerville wants to thank all of our brothers that came down to get us started and show us the ropes. You have also offered guidance and direction in an ongoing manner! We are all appreciative of your support and this is a time to thank you! Please come out and join us – HC today and enjoy a great event with F3 Summerville.
