39 PAX gathered in the Wed morning gloom to help celebrate the beginning of F3 in the lowcountry. 3 years ago, F3 Bluffton was born on a Saturday AM at Dubois Park in Old Town. Over the course of the next 6 weeks, PAX from across the region came to lead us and show us how to grow not only in our Fitness, but as men in our community. Over the last 3 years we have grown to include 3 more AOs any many more PAX coming and going at one point or another. At the first workout, we had around 10 PAX and met on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Today there were 39 that showed and many others that come on the regular that were unable to attend. There is now a workout offered every day of the week and multiple workouts on some of those days.
PAX: Jack Sparrow, Floride, Midwife, 12 Gauge, Peaches, Harvey, Squealer, Romo, Ball Cock, Stubbs, Hardhat, JV, Squid, Narco, Meatgazer, Bartman, Slim shady, Handy Manny, Nancy Drew, Spaulding, Big Spur, Sawed Off, Ray, Ambien, Flea, Buckeye (QIC), Chumbucket, Cookies (respect) Diapers, Spaghetti-o, Judge Judy (QIC), Hostilo, Tony Tisdell (FNG) ‘Brokeback’, Swanson, Beauford, Joker, Snowflake Urkel, Gambit (QIC)

COT
Moleskin:
- It’s always great to get a core principle refresher
- Mumblechatter and encouragement seemed great even with the big crowd. T-claps to all those that pushed the man next to you
- T-claps to #TheYachtClub and #theBuck men that made the trip to old town for the celebration
- Kotters to midwife
- Judge Judy surprised everyone with his originality today
- T-claps to Stubbs for bringing out and FNG and pushing through the suck
- Very few hills in Bluffton but backward bearcrawling up them is horrible no matter how small they are
- Ray was there, felt the breeze as he ran past me
- Balls to the wall is always a crowd pleaser
- After 2 sets of burpees YHC was ready to call it quits. Had I been working out alone, I would have never made it through.
- Fishing is a good excuse to missing anniversary workouts (says no one ever)
- Welcome Brokeback! (Awesome to have Squid back in the mix at #MOB for the oft borderline inappropriate naming)
A lot has happened in 3 years. There have been many races, mud runs, lunches, bible studies, happy hours, and fundraising. Many PAX have competed in or completed events they never thought they would do prior to F3. That is due in part to the continued support and push from fellow PAX. Keep pushing, keep shit talking, keep encouraging, keep holding others accountable. It will only help us all in the end.
As always, it was a pleasure to join Buckeye and Judge Judy to lead this morning.
Gambit out!
