A 4 Pax arrived at the appointed time an place on this wonderful morning. Both Schrute and YHC had some lingering soreness plus blisters, courtesy of Saturday’s Sasquatch. Sidenote: F3NewBern was well represented by the aforementioned Schrute and Bitcoin, plus Mr. Roboto, who absolutely crushed the last mile or so – doing a Running Ruck to the finish line. Most impressive. YHC is fairly certain all New Bern Pax finished in the top half of all Ruckers. You really need to think about doing this event next year. All three F’s on full display.

Count-O-Rama and Name-O-Rama.
Announcements: GrowRuck 17 (Sandhills) coming in mid-November (11/15 – 11/17). YHC will have more details later. In a nutshell, this is an F3 event that will entail both fun and an extreme challenge. Convergence that Friday evening, standard Beatdown Saturday morning followed by breakfast and then a classroom setting with an emphasis on leadership. Rumormill has it that there will be some F3 Royalty in attendance, and that Dredd has already signed on to attend. For those who might not know, Dredd is basically the founding father of F3. The big event will begin Saturday night sometime and will be a GoRuck Tough – 12 hours of effort over an unknown distance of perhaps a minimum of 15 miles. Along the way, the Pax will be presented with various physical and mental challenges designed to give practical application to the classroom learning. Victory Breakfast to follow. Not just a CSAUP for the fun of it. For now, feel free to direct questions to Deuce, McRib and/or Mr. Roboto, all of whom completed GrowRuck 02 in Carterico several years ago. I’m sure the memories are still fresh in their minds. YHC to be a part of a call-in meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening (7/30) and will no doubt have more information to share.
Closed in prayer.
It’s a great day, gentlemen. Hope you all have a super week.
