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!

43 brave PAX set out in the gloom this morning to compete in the South Cary Highland Games. 13 PAX were lost along the way. Roughly 12 miles were covered along a route with 7 AOs.

Kudos to our SAG Team lead by Francois. Thanks to the guys who stepped up and Qd along the way.

As always it was great to see our brothers from other regions. Carpex was able to capture the . Scary moment as raleigh put up a good fight.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning. Looking forward to next year!
