It's happening... The next T3 just went live!

It's regiment week. That means that you'll be getting some cool announcements all through the week. This first one is huge...

The next T3 has officially been announced! We're proud to announce that we're partnering up with BattleFrog for this one, which means that we are going to have two actual BUD/S instructors as your cadre for this event! I'll give you a second to let the magnitude of this entire thing sink in for a second. Actual. BUD/S. Instructors.  It now goes without saying that the battlefrog series will not be listed as our third official affiliate now.

Since this will be Navy SEAL themed, we're heading back out on to the beaches of St. Augustine on the 13th of December. Be sure to reserve your campsite at Anastasia State Park ASAP! We got a lot going on at this event, so the price will be a little higher. However $55 is still pretty good for a 12+ hour long event run by the seals.  We're not done yet.

Since it's regiment week, registration will be 13% off for the next week. Expect pregame challenges and more course details to emerge sometime in November.

Sign up.  We dare you.

Getting the word out there

As we grow, we must branch out.  We've just gotten our team added to the mud and adventure team listings page - where all are welcome to join!  All you have to do is click the giant "JOIN" button and that's it.  Our influence of awesomeness continues to spread.  Join said awesomeness here.

Our Identity

I'd like to make next week the official regiment appreciation week from now on.  Which means I will be making some pretty important announcements for our team and the cool stuff that we're going to be doing together in the future.  There are an endless amount of group pages out there full of their own flavor of WODs, workout posts and reposts - yet 300+ people stick together and revel in the unique personality that we share.  

Our identity, which shines the light not on the end result but the journey we each take to get to that result is hard to find in this society of instant gratification.  As I say to our regiment elites as they're about to get their patch, your actions inspire others.  When people see you running a race they will have one of two internal dialogues.  The first one is "Holy crap, that guy podiums these events and I'm at his pace?  I think I can do this!".  The second thought is "If this guy can carry a tire and/or rucksack and do multiple laps, I can pull through this and finish my first run!".  No matter the scenario, you do amazing things for others.  

Keep it up, folks.

18 days remaining

To those going to VT, you're no doubt thinking of this event every hour of the day by now.  Keep in mind that any training that you do right now should start to be tapered off through less volume on the same intensity.  Any gains you reap from your workouts now will not be as effective come the time you're out on the mountain.  Your concern now should lie in bringing the right gear.  That intense training you've been planning on doing should have been done six months ago.

Ultrabeast Rumors

Rumors of the course layout for the Ultrabeast are starting to trickle in from some pretty reliable sources.  One such source is a course volunteer (who shall not be named) who spilled the beans on some pretty vital info.  As any Spartan rumors go they could always just be mindgames being played on us - so do not believe everything 100% until we get the official emails.  Nevertheless, the following bits of information made its way to us:

  • The course will be back to its 2012 roots, where the UB is merely the beast course ran twice.
  • This year will be more obstacle-heavy.  Cargo net monkey bar hybrid will be there.
  • More timing mats and cameras will be deployed on the course to combat some complaints of cheating that was done last year.

Interesting information, if it turns out to be true.  One of the big mind games that the UB12 runners recall is the intense desire to quit when the finish the first beast course and they have to get back out there to do it all again. 

Putting on that regiment ink

Regiment elite Kendall C. dominated the Hawaii trifecta and decided to get some ink done while in paradise.  I'd say the team is happy with his choice of artistry!

 

Now if we can get this guy to submit his regiment elite profile so he can look even cooler!  :)

Battlefrog and Team Regiment

Good things are happening!  What good things, you ask?  Well my fellow rucker/runner/OCR enthusiast, we're teaming up with the Battlefrog series to hook you guys up with a discount to their Orlando 2015 event.  If that's not enough, we will also be partnering with them for a ruck wave of our very own!  You don't have to go into the ruck division if you use the discount code, but you are definitely encouraged to nevertheless.  The more registrations under that code we get, the more free entries that we're given.  It wouldn't be that fun to hoard all of those awesomely free entries to ourselves, so you can definitely expect a battlefrog raffle in the near future...  Anyways, here is the cool graphic showing what you need to know:
 

More Hawaiian awesomeness

Team Regiment has a large chunk of their elites primed and ready for the Spartan Trifecta weekend!  Regiment elite Marianne took some other pictures of our team flag's journey in paradise.

Look for us in Hawaii!

Team regiment will be flying their banners high at all three of the trifecta events this weekend.  If you see one of them, give them a cheer!  AROOHA!
