A strong showing, mult-region workout for this year’s 1776 convergence. Different format this year with the 6 and brotherhood in mind, which made the little longer format so enjoyable for all you guys. I know I enjoyed it, especially the mosey to the burpee field I thought I was gonna splash.

There was a Ghost flag handoff to the man @pierogi)
Yogi trying to start a new AO that meets little later than typical – 8am. TBD. Some other regions snuck in some advertising for more 1st F stuff:
-Smoke n Mirrors considering the man @VHS for a side bar low/no tempo weight workout;
-the man Yogi trying to start a “later than typical” workout in SCary, something like 8am – any interested should get up with him.
-Lifting up the man @Pickup for his 1st Year F3 anni, and for all others just staring KEEP COMING OUT.

We send prayers for our friends and coworkers, those we know injured, and struggling, and traveling, those trying to do good things for others….let’s ALL REMEMBER our blessings, put our support forward to these people and others in need, to do this in whatever way you can, small or large it does not matter as long as you remember the concept of Living 3rd.

And finally, we enjoyed coffeteria to the fullest. Tables full of coffee, water, snacks, the works, all good quality low calorie healthy stuff to end our time together, for today that is.

When in the course of human events, we get 76 + 1 PAX to descend upon Ritter Park, we do so to honor the birth of our great nation and celebrate our freedom.

Many brave souls ventured out to conquer one of the 3 EC options available. A near-problematic number embarked on the treacherous Freedom EC to capture a shovel flag being held by the British Crown, deep in the Scottish Highlands of Lochmere.

The main event started with a 1776-yard mosey (approx 1 mile) and then we proceeded to work through a list of 1776 reps between 17 different exercises….100 reps each, then we bear crawled 100 yards back to the flags and did 76 burpees together going around the circle where each PAX had a chance to call “down” for 1 burpee.

We covered 1.76 miles in total, according to Hello Kitty’s official Strava record. This backblast may also have taken 1776 seconds to write. 4 FNG’s named. Callahan took us out in prayer. Pinto snapped a great group pic. The afterparty included several pots of coffee, water, beer, hard seltzers, danishes, American flag cookie, and great fellowship. Thank you to everyone who joined us to participate and everyone who contributed to make this event a success!

Somewhere around 6 PAX (with multiple regions represented) were out for EC this AM ahead of the beatdown. By the time we arrived at 5:29, we were 40+ strong and ready for all sorts of disclaimers and explanations. We welcomed FNG Mark and were off!

Warmup lap and exercises in the parking lot before we exited the lot to the south to pick up the greenway trail. We gathered in plank at the trail bridge. First thang – bear crawl from the back to the front. With a group this large, we went for one round and moved on. Offer stands to get bonus points for finding any trace of our presence via Nextdoor. Run up the hill back to the lot and gather in 4 groups at the Teeter lot and grab a coupon.

Second thang – my favorite new workout from 2023 so far courtesy Shipyard – THE BLOCKCHAIN. Possibly due to inequity in group size, but also possibly due to disparity in skill levels, some groups prevailed over others… by a sizeable margin. Burpees after each of two rounds. Coupons back to the flag.

Third thang – pain train four corners featuring:
Plankjacks
Urkins
Freddie Mercs
Flutter Kicks

We ended with Mary on the Move completing 100 LBCs along the way before we finished with a round of 100s.

We named FNG Mark – welcome to ‘Truly’!
Peak City claimed the ghost flag with 9 in attendance – a good showing from Carpex as well! The ghost flag will be at Bounty Hunters next week.
Announcements – buncha ways to support Cornerstone in Peak City. They’ve been good to F3 over the years.
Maynard 100 kicks off Monday. Note that if you do 100 F3 workouts, you still need to do another 6 pack to hit 106… the Maynard 100 will give you those 6 for free.
Prayers – lift up and remember the SMR guys this weekend.

I am continually grateful to be a part of this brotherhood – I know the ghostflag did a good amount of work this morning, but huge thanks to all the Thursday site Qs – Laloosh/Dowry for converging and Quiver/WahWah for building up this site over the last 4 months – to Captain Jack, Shipyard, and Adjacent for all of the metrics and achievements tracking (what a carrot that is), to Amway for setting that bar high last year, to Hermes for the encouragement back on the Cleaver about halfway through the streak, and for all the support, and to each of you that come out and post for each other when it would be extremely convenient to fartsack instead.

Come tomorrow morning, [I believe that it’s true that] Breezy has the opportunity to become your new active streak leader!

Love you Amtrak!
After 2 weeks of nearly on time performance the old faithful Amtrak resurfaced. With a nearly 3 hour train delay expected we scrambled at the last moment and combined BRR with Crazy Train and got…Crazy Transit. Dowry’s Tramsit was clutch!!
With weather and no train as leading factors for one bailout, and wrong phone number for another (sorry Snots!) we rolled with 7. Great fellowship on the drive to Raleigh Union Station, a quick tour of the facilities, and we were running by 8:15 or so.
Great scenery and conversation, and when the rain began to fall while in Umstead we didn’t care a bit. Chops and Suckup blazed the trail (see Strava) while others of us enjoyed fellowship, fauna, and flora. Postrun slices and sodas at Di Fara (then a quick drive back downtown to retrieve the van). Great multi region run morning…missing our GL friends
