19 Redwoods posted for the first version of the Crucible. This is what transpired.
The Thang: Mosey to field. 20 SSH, 10 Don Quixotes, 10 Helicopters, 20 Lbc, 20 imperial walkers, 20 Merkins. Mosey to stands near football field. Lindseys with jump squats and WWII setups. Mosey to field near road. Triple Check. Box Cutters, merkins, run to other side and bernie sanders back. Mosey to pole in the corner of field and perform a different exercise at each pole. COT and TYA took us out.
NMM: This AO and workout has been a long time coming. Lots of chatter about starting something near the Healing Place for sometime and August 6, 2022 was the day it was meant to start. Steamy morning out there, but the AO has a lot to offer. Thanks to all the men that had a hand in getting this AO started. Particular thanks to Shakedown for connecting with the leadership at the Healing Place and making this happen. F3 has had a strong presence with this group for sometime, I am glad we now have a F3 driven workout there every Saturday.
YHC thought that he would have to take it easy from a workout perspective, thinking that there would be some folks that might not be in bootcamp shape. I could not have been more wrong about that. The three folks from THP were in great shape and looked like they were ready to roll from the beginning. Extra Credit earned his name in the first group of exercises when Shakedown and Anthrax realized he was doing 2x the number of reps. He said he wasn’t sure how many, but did not want to do less than was called. So by the time the COT happened, his name had already stuck. Sometimes names come easy, sometimes it is difficult. Our second FNG had run several quarries in his career. Despite lots of other good content to chose from a half dozen people shouted Flintstone simultaneously. Rocket man was the third THP participant. He had participated in F3 in Raleigh previously, so he had already been named.
This AO is going to be a special place. You could feel the excitement and energy in the air before, during and after the workout. When you post at a workout, you are guaranteed to get the first F. If you want it, you can get the 2nd F. It is a special thing when all three things are present at one AO. Check out the Crucible when you have a chance. All three are there in abundance.
TYA OUT
