” I do need to talk to you…I keep blading my wedges” Happy Gilmore

It is quite fitting YHC found myself on an EC RUCK with Happy Gilmore prior to my solo VQ. Happy invited me out in January 2017 and 1/31/2018 will be my 1 year anniversary. During our EC, the first topic of discussion was how Happy keeps blading his wedges, hence the name CHUBBS.

YHC recalls a specific post at The Falcon in February of 2017 where I was pulling in and saw multiple PAX with headlamps rucking to the site with headlamps on—YHC thought to myself these guys are machines! If you have posted with YHC before, you know YHC is far from a machine, but in a testament to the glue of F3 I was wearing a headlamp this morning double timing it back to make sure the ME began at 0530. F3 has had an extremely positive impact on my life—have gone from being nervous before posting to excited about working hard with a supportive group of men.

The Thang

From there, we crossed the street into Croasdaile Farms neighborhood where we were on the move covering about 2.7 miles total. Head of the pack planked until the 6 caught up.

Station 1: Partnered up for 50 combined Merkins / 30 combined True Americans / 50 combined WW1’s (or WW2’s @ The Exchange)

Back on the move

Station 2: PAX line up Bear crawl down the hill. Plank when done. Three PAX gave a 10 count while the group held plank position. 25 CC air squats

Back on the move- backwards run down the street to the Silo Apartment sign.

Station 3: cadence count merkins X 15

Back on the move

Station 4: Slow WW1 X x10, Flutter kick cadence count X 20

Back on the move up the hill (YHC was thinking the EC RUCK was a mistake at this point)

Station 5:  Cadence Count Monkey Humpers X 20

Back on the move to AO for Mary

Around the circle each PAX called an exercise and cadence counted to 10

 

COT

Name-o-rama, YHC forgot to call his name due to fatigue and relief of finishing! No prayer requests. YHC briefly thanked everyone for hanging with me on my solo VQ. Extremely grateful to lead this group of men. Challenge everyone to think of others out there who could benefit from F3. Big thanks to Tatertot for being the site-Q! Crockett took us out, well done young man.
