The Bed Pan is full…

Are you “working out” or Training? CSAUP’s can make a difference.

As the current 1FQ, I thought it would be a good idea to remind the PAX of F3 Gastonia of a few opportunities coming up that can and will influence your training over the next six or seven months.  Are you tracking your workouts?  Are you trying to be younger next year?  Are you going through the motions or do you train with intention?  Here are some events to consider doing and get your mind on actually training for a purpose.

First and foremost is the PT Test this Saturday at the Gashouse.  Whether you have done one or not, it is good to memorialize your times and see how your fitness stacks up.

Second, the Iron Pax Challenge is out there for September.  Although it isn’t a CSAUP per se, I would argue that if you do each week’s workout it truly is a CSAUP.  Gastonia so far has a weak showing on the sign ups…Sign up here….

Register for the IronPAX Challenge

Third, the local 50 Mile relay is almost here.  Defib is the Q for this event.  It begins in Dallas at 0400.  You should be home for lunch.  This is a running relay with four man teams.  Each leg is roughly 4 miles in length so  every fitness level can do it.  The sign up is here…..     https://f3gastonia.com/event-signups/csaup-50-mile-relay/

Next, you have seen the cool hi viz yellow tshirts at many AO’s over the years.  The Dam to Dam relay was started by two F3 guys and runs from Lexington, SC to Greenwood, SC from one dam to another for a total of about 60 miles.   The race is well organized and is a one day event.  Last year JJ ran it and came home and went to a concert in Charlotte with his M and posted at the Coconut Horse the next day. YHC has run it as a four man team and a six man team.  The race sells out in an hour.  Registration opens on Friday, September 2nd at 0659.  Get your teams together now and start training.  Here is the sign up link.

Lastly, the Mortimer 100 is in March and is a 100+ mile relay from Granite Falls to the top of Howard’s Knob in Boone.  It is an asskicker.  You should always be training for this one and HTFU.

Spies at the The Storm

Big crowd on a humid morning at the Storm.  0530, lead with the mission of F3.  Pledge.  Warmup of SSH, IW, Arm Circles, Gravel Pickers, and some stretching.  Mosey.

Go to round about in front of school.  Simple weinke today.  Feels like a good day for some Bo Derek’s, slight modification.  Two burpees and run the hill.  Ten hand release merkins at top.  Rinse and repeat 10 times.

Bat flippers completed 10, the rest of got 8 or 9.  Close to time, but one more thing.  Reach deep and sprint to the flag.  All you got.

Recounted the story from Numbers of the Israelites sending 12 spies to scope out the their promised land.  The spies found the land occupied by GIANTS.  Ten spies reported that taking the land was not possible.  Two said it can be done, and wanted to do it immediately.  Be the man that finds a way.  No excuses.

Lots of chances coming up to do some hard things.  Iron Pax, CSAUPS, relays, Grow Rucks.  Pick at least one and find a way.

Announcements:  Pt test at Gashouse 8/27, Iron Pax begins Sunday with Thursday at Folsom dedicated to that workout each week, CSAUP 9/10, Skating with Mayor, JJ5K 9/24, other CSAUPs later in the year

Prayers: Breaker Breaker uncle , Bubba Sparxx friend with terminal cancer, Tiger and his family, Tesla and family, Huck, Turtleman, Bos and family

Always an honor
