With the immanent sale of #SwampFox’s mysterious vacant lot and the pending need to relocate our convenient stash of bricks, blocks and slabs, 21 strong convened at CMS to put the weights to use. Given the ever gloomier darkness of our AO, finding a new spot to secure the masonry isn’t such a bad thing… …
13 brave souls braced themselves and headed out in the pouring rain for a workout held in knee deep mud, mosquito larvea and lightning popping everywhere. Think the escape scene from Shawshank…wait…no…that didn’t happen…that was the dreams of the fartsackers I momentarily tapped into I think. What really happened was that 13 dry guys showed …
On an historic day in @F3Columbia land 23 SwampFox men gathered in the gloom to do their part in the day’s march to 100 pax posting for workouts.

OK, so maybe it was the worst kept secret in town but YHC took a break from #Thunder for the first time in four weeks to make a surprise appearance as QIC at #SwampFox. The sentimental nostalgia faded as quickly as the 20 pax faded into quite possibly the darkest spot in town – the …
23 men gathered at the SwampFox #shovelflag looking for a workout on Tuesday morning and got put through their paces by Adrian who brought a faced paced, hard-hitting plan with him and executed it perfectly.

11 men who did not bow to the call of the #fartsack showed up and planted the #SwampFox #shovelflag with authority this morning in the gloom. Apparently a three day weekend was enough to knock about half of F3 Columbia off their game as a grand total of 57 pax answered the bell this morning …
14 frisky football fans (including 1 FNG who #un-assed during the downhill bear crawls and is thus unnamed here) entered the gloom Thursday morning for a pre-game workout and suddenly found themselves not allowed to stand up…Huh?

26 Faithful posted this morning in the seemingly autumnal gloom at CMS… and awaited YHC who peeled into the AO with the #ShovelFlag mere seconds before Snuggle’s second contribution as Q.

Conditions: 73 degree and …
23 men assembled at the Swamp Fox shovel flag (all bada$$ and matte black as it is) for the virgin Q of Alterboy.

27 men enter the Swamp Tuesday morning for a surprise Q from Splinter. When word spread before the workout more than one pax was heard to mutter “Can I still leave?”.

Ya’ll, fo real, Swamp Fox don’t play. Twenty-Freakin-Eight with 6 FNGs showed up in The Gloom at Crayton Middle School this morning for a workout Q’ed by Stain. While this was his first F3 Q, to call this a virgin Q would be an insult to this combat-war-veteran-Infantryman-turned-half-Iron-Man-turned-dry-cleaning-business-manager-guy. Stain put the pax through it and the …
Twenty two men, including 5 FNGs, kicked the tires and took the brand spankin new Swamp Fox for a spin this morning in The Gloom. Some may have expected a nice “getting to know you” chatter-filled workout but they were mistaken as Chaser led the pax on a Ring Run / Hill / Wall workout …
