October isn’t supposed to be like this! The leaves should be turning. There should be a crispness in the air. A hint of winter on the breeze should filter through the gloom. Not so this morning. Today the gloom could have been cut into chunks and distributed like big hot ice cubes… except hot cubes. cubes of hotness.
TheThang:
Out by Clemson, a quick COP to warm the lungs… because that’s needed…
- SSH X 20, 4CT IC
- Imperial Walkers X 20, 4CT IC
- Squats X 20, 4CT IC
- Mercans X 10, 4CT IC
Exiting Crayton proper and crossing onto Coker Street the pax stopped at Furman for:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
Heading on to Wofford:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
Heading on to Citadel:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
Right on Citadel and up to Converse:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
And finally into Citadel Park for a threepeat of pain around the jungle gym:
- 10 Pullups, OYO
- 20 Squats, OYO
- 30 LBC’s, OYO
Plank for the six.
- 10 Pullups, OYO
- 20 Lunges, OYO
- 30 Freedom Twists, OYO
And Plank for the six some more…
- 10 Pullups, OYO
- 20 Monkey Humpers, OYO
- 30 BBSUs, OYO
And Plank briefly again before moving to:
The pax paired up for some DORA which, with the heat being what it was and the breeze ignoring the opportunity to stir the air, the following sucked:
- Partner 1 – Run to the Picnic Benches (about 50 yards) and do 10 BBSUs before heading back.
- Partner 2 – Start on 200 Merkins in place.
- Flapjack the running and Merkins until all 200 Mmerkins are complete
Next up:
- Partner 1 – Run to the Picnic Benches (about 50 yards) and do 10 BBSUs before heading back.
- Partner 2 – Start on 300 Squats in place.
- Flapjack the running and Squats until all 300 Squats are complete
And then :
- Partner 1 – Run to the Picnic Benches (about 50 yards) and do 10 BBSUs before heading back.
- Partner 2 – Start on 200 Flutters in place.
- Flapjack the running and Flutters until all 200 Flutter Kicks are complete
With that, the park was vacated onto Wofford for the homeward stretch. Heading north on Wofford and crossing Converse:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
Continuing on to Coker:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
Left uphill on Coker to Furman:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
And ending up back at Crayton for another:
- 5 Burpees, OYO
With three minutes left, and because the flutter kicks were cut short on the third Citadel Park circuit, a rousing round of Flutters were called:
- Flutter Kicks X 50, 4CT IC
Rising from asphalt leaving behind sweaty back prints with an arm or two stamped in sweat and drip spots behind heads and heals, time expired.

NMM:
- Present today were Chaser, LeVar, Polo and Prom… all four AOQ’s of SwampFox. The pax were reminded that SwampFox was the first bootcamp AO launched by F3Columbia. And…
- October 21st is the 5 year anniversary of F3Columbia and we’re holding a competitive convergence at Dreher. The more SwampFox faithful can be roused to attend, the better it will be for everyone. Get a Saturday Morning hall pass and be there. It’s an extremely rare event for an F3Nation Region to turn 5… few across the country have reached that milestone and SwampFox was a key piece of that success.
- Lift up a prayer for Blowout and his family. The memorial service is to be at 2pm on Thursday at Eastminster Pres.
