‘Plus Core’ at Thunderstruck this AM. We nailed the predetermined 3.6mi target string with a lot of pearls (plus a core exercise after every single pearl exercise).

Started with pledge then dropped to our six for LBCs
Mosey that the pax claimed was too fast to a warmup of SSH (plus american hammers), SCS (plus boat canoes), merks (plus lbcs).

Pearls included: hand release merks, squats, jump squats, SSH burpees, and more. Some pearls were already core which then enjoyed a plus core to the core.

The pax clearly loved every minute of it.

Our abs were abbing – as the kids say.

DDD 3/24, HG 3/16, F3bets starts 3/4, HDHH 3/6 Prayers for our kids. MIAGD!

17 HIMs came together for an epic HCC workout, despite being blocked from entering the “closed” Cary park. Site Qs will be working on that for next week, I’m sure, along with paying the electric bill to fix the flickering street lights.

Brief warmup with signature 25 SSH in the Lowe’s parking lot, then South Cary stretches, WW1s, and hand release merkins.

For the ME, we conquered the Cary Parkway hill for the HCC 3 times, doing pearls on a string as we went up with merkins, squats, and burpees 10 reps, cycling twice (6 stops up the hill). A little extra mosey at the end to ensure we exceeded 5k for the HCC bonus.

Back to flag for COT. Announcements include HCC, DDD, Highland Games. Hit me up if you want to do the Bourbon Chase (similar to BRR) and I’ll get you on the Carpex channel. Unspoken prayers. MIAGD!

We started off with the pledge, and then we moseyed until the Pax we’re fully warm, and then we heard a great speech from our own Big Red. We then Partnered up and did some suicides and American Hammers, we then wheelbarrowed, which was questionable to some PAX … when then Bear crawled through the McDonald’s drive-thru. We then ran 2 rounds of Merkin corners 5 then 10. After that we moseyed to an unknown parking lot for another 4 corners where YHC seemed to be fishing for 4 simple exercises . we only had time for one go around before we headed back to the flag, where we finished off with some core.
Thank you for letting me Q this morning guys, I really appreciate it!
Welcome Recycle and Toepick! I hope they can make it out some more! MIAGD

8 Pax joined for the official FWD Tuesday Bootcamp and 6 Scary Pax with The Resolution. We started with the Pledge and set off for a pretty vanilla beatdown. Moseyed to PapaJ’s parking lot for warmups and then made our way over to the medical offices caddy-corner to Wellington Park Shopping Ctr. The one and only Thang executed was 4 corners in the parking lot. We did 7 rounds, 7 different exercises. The Scary rain dome prevailed yet again (for the most part) and all had fun.

We were joined at COT by 10 PAX, from neighboring regions, who launched from FWD around 0440 for The Resolution. Ma Bell, Gump, Prodigal, Gibraltar, Sunshine, Banjo, Wonder Bread, Biner, Quick Step, and PBX.

DDD (duck donut dash) coming up/Highland Games on 3/16

Prayers for Gone Fishin’s M and her medical procedure on Thursday.

Grateful for the opportunity to lead this morning fellas. Great way to start the day.

MIAGD!!!

This morning sixteen HIMs woke up early to a glorious, damp parking lot.
They did some stretches, some of them famous in the South Cary region.
Then moseyed over to a hill that we have mixed feelings about and completed a triple dime which consisted of lunges, merkins, and squats.
Next we were able to complete a four corner around the Harris Teeter with Star Crunches, plank jacks, LBCs, Freddie Mercuries. And then we had just enough time to turn it into a pentagon and did some dying cockroaches. Then we hustled back to the flag JIT.
Announcements:
Duck Donuts Dash – Feb 24
Highland Games – Mar 16
If you can do the duck donuts dash you can do the Highland Games…
Prayers:
Quiver’s family and close friends lost a couple of their elders during the holidays. Please help the family find comfort.
The finale was the transfer of site Q’s to OTW and French Lick.
To Wah Wah and Quiver, you did a tremendous job this year growing the new AO Thunderstruck. Thank you for your leadership and for entrusting us with a thriving AO.

A beautiful gloomy morning to close out Thunderstruck for 2023. A few brave souls showed up early for the burpee EC trusting that YHC would be a man of integrity and not call any during the ME. They were rewarded for their trust, with many merkins and squats instead.

The pax explored new territory this morning. Many thanks to the fine residents of Glenridge for leaving their lights up for us. We even had a Wet Bandits sighting! Merkins, mountain climbers, and squats rotating every .2 miles. Once we made it back to familiar territory we finished with a OTW patent pending four corners of Mary. LSF, American Hammers, H2M, and Shoulder Taps were on today’s menu. Back to the start (no flag today) right on time (just like YHC first arrival to JIU back in June).

F3 has been one the highlights of 2023 for me. Looking forward to a full year in 2024. Thanks for the opportunity to lead this AM.

MIAGD, finish the year strong!

YHC, aka The Cowboy Q, took the group for a mosey down memory lane with some Christmas Movie Trivia. Started with an arm focused warm up followed by trivia questions at each end of the 0.1 mile parking lot hill. Each question had an associated workout and a set of penalty burpees if the PAX answered incorrectly. Surprisingly, not many burpees were completed, and even less would have been completed had @Term Paper been paying attention. We did learn that @French Lick knows his Christmas movies. Made it back to the flag for one last question prior to enjoying some grass infused coffee. Prayers for Snip’s sister and Astro’s ankle. Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning. MIAGD.

We ran to the park for a dora and ran back. Good times, thank you for letting me lead today!

Today was a Merkin kind of a day. if I counted correctly, the PAX did 200 Merkins over the course of 45 minutes. We started with a quick warm-up, followed by an Indian run to the bridge. At the bridge, we did a set of sevens with Merkins and plank jacks. Mosey back to the flag quick round of Mary, followed by COT.

Today prayers are lifted up for water wings’ grandmother, and for the children who are going to school and struggling due to the ongoing incidents

Thanks to Doula and Renfield for the opportunity to lead.
