As everyone (no one) knows, October 26th is National Pumpkin Day. So, YHC planned a Spooktacular, orange gourd-themed #BeatDown that he hoped was worth the price of admission. A cool, 40-degree morning welcomed the PAX of 33 (great to see Pusher visiting from The Fort) and after brushing the dust off the F3 Mission Statement and disclaimer, we popped our #DRP and went of into the gloom to get better, Here now is a retelling of the events…
Mosey from #ShovelFlag to Pisgah Church cemetary for:
Warm-a-Rama
SSH x 20 IC
5 Burpees OYO
Imperial Walkers x 20 IC
4 Double-Merkin Burpees
String Rippers x 10 IC
3 Triple-Merkin Burpees
Sun Gods & Unwind x 15 IC each
2 Quadruple-Merkin Burpees
Monkey Humpers
1 Quintuple-Merkin Burpee
Double Applesauce Mosey from the Church to the Country Park Gate. TClaps to the PAX for the speedwork; noticed! After bombing on the comedy stage (get it?! Pump… Kin?!) YHC tried to recover with instructions for the Halloween-themed beat down. The jury is still out:
- Teams of 5
- All teams start at the “Graveyard” with each team member picking an exercise to AMRAP until relieved.
- One team mate sprints to the opposite end of the island to the Pumpkin Patch where cinders were waiting.
- 10 reps of the first exercise on the list then sprint back up the island to relieve a team mate of his choosing
- All team mates switch to a new exercise (AMRAP) while the new runner take sof to the Pumpkin Patch
- Rinse & Repeat
BONUS: 1-at-a-time, teams were invited to the BAT (Big Ass Tire) Cave for team tire terror before choosing its next victims.

Men of F3, thank you for trusting me with your #DRP, thank you for inspiring me to get better in many ways and thank you for the reminder to be unafraid of the success I can have when I believe in myself. For those moments when the sifter starts to shake, I’ve got the Sky Q and each of you.
Humbled,
Tommy Boy
