Plant, Serve, and Grow…7 years later. It’s working!

@F3Stumble, Columbia, SC, Iron Yard, Swamp Fox / By / October 19, 2019 / , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

7 years ago, Dredd and Crotch Rocket decided to plant, serve and grow a workout group for the invigoration of male community leadership in Cola.  Thank God they did!  F3 has developed into arguably one of the finest fraternities in the country and we’re thankful to be a part of it.  Men all over need it, especially YHC.

The marking of the 7th anniversary is special and we needed a special workout to challenge these PAX.  YHC set a goal of 77 PAX which was going to be a lofty goal if you research the other Convergence attendance in 2018 and 2019.  Guess what, we surpassed it thanks to all the Columbia guys but more importantly the Lake Murray and Lexington PAX that made the trip.  Thank you!

Enough with the pleasantries, HERE’S THE THANG!

Conditions:  56 and cloudy perfect.

83 PAX posted in the parking lot of AC Flora HS (home to the #BATTLE AO).  YHC was giving last minute instructions to the leaders Mud Dawg, Kilt, Misfire, McNugget, Rudder and one guy who will remain nameless that didn’t show up early like he said he would, but he’s the Nantan.  We’ll let him slide this time.  As we came back to the starting area, the parking lot was packed and that was a good sign.  Billy Bob lead all the PAX to the football field for COP.  Command was given to circle up.

YHC lead a short warm up session with 7 reps being the theme.  All IC.

High Knees

Merkins

LBC’s

Run option breaks off for a 5 mile route in the shape of a 7.  Hills were a plenty.  Pipeline lead about 12 guys up and over Belmont and then back up Falcon to Forest Drive for an out and back.  Thanks Pipeline!

  1. McNugget
  2. Misfire
  3. Mud Dawg

Everyone returns to the front parking lot for COT.  No FNG’s today which was disappointing.  Big thanks to our brothers across the river for making the trip.  Billy Bob reiterated how important F3 is and how we need to keep EHing and reaching out to our brothers that aren’t posting as often as we’d like for them to be with us.  Safety is always the standard.  Reflective gear is VERY IMPORTANT!

BOM:   Blowout
