Florida Mud Run, Obstacle and ruck training team.
It’s time!
A baker’s dozen will be stepping foot into the beaches of St. Augustine this weekend to earn their red R patch! Will they prove that they’re ready to take on all of the big events out there? Find out as we post live video on our Facebook page throughout the day. For photo and text updates, look no further than our Live Updates Page!
Greetings T3 aspirants!
Here is the mandatory gear list and important event day info, along with a special announcement! The team has completed enough challenges to unlock the exact start time and location for this event. Be at the following location no later than 0700:
308-352 A1A Beach Blvd Parking
St. Augustine, FL
32080-5902, United States
Do not be late. For every five minutes that somebody is late, those who are there will have to complete 30 burpees. Do everyone a favor and plan for the unexpected, and if you decide to drop before the event starts, you’d best let the instructor of the event know ahead of time. If you are 30 minutes late, you will be DNF’d from the event after having made all of the responsible people unnecessary burpees. Many of the attendees will be staying at nearby hotels near the beach, we recommend you get with them and plan ahead of time. Again…. Do not be late.
There will be an optional bonus lap for those who wish to partake at 0640. Sometimes that means doing extra work for no reward, other times it means getting a reward for no extra work. It’s a gamble. On to our special announcement.
Team Regiment is extremely proud to announce our partnership with The Give Team for the T3! This amazing team works with the New Image Youth Center – which provides after-school and summer programs to support at-risk students in Parramore. To those not familiar with the Orlando area, Parramore is listed as one of the 25 most dangerous places to live in America, so to work with an organization that provides academic support, social development, health and wellness as well as crisis intervention in that area means a lot to us – especially when the holidays are just around the corner.
The Give Team lives by the motto “No matter how little you have, you always have something to give”. This inspiring team is actually the only inner-city OCR team in the country! Their focus is on building strength, leadership and goal-setting skills and currently has a closely-knit team of 12 students from the New Image Youth Center. With this partnership brings an amazing opportunity for us all to come together on the holidays and to use our coming together on the 15th to provide something greater than toys this year – a warm meal!
That is why you will notice in your mandatory gear list below the requirement of a gift card for either Publix or Walmart for any amount you see fit. Through the help of The Give Team, these cards will go straight to the New Image Youth Center to help provide that holiday feast! As a bonus, whatever amount you decide to put on the card will equal half the amount of points you will be given at the start of the T3! Just provide a receipt with your card at the T3 so we can verify. We deliberately charge very little for this event simply because cost is oftentimes a barrier to entry for a lot of people when it comes to taking their athleticism to the next level, so please do not feel compelled to put more than you can afford on your required card. Anything helps. On to the gear list.
Mandatory gear list (individual)
• Six sided dice.
• A 5-gallon bucket. (Your instructor is bringing 6 himself. Decide ahead of time who doesn’t need to bring one).
• Headlamp (having a red light setting is recommended to make any team competitions easier)
• Four orange laminated index cards with the words “Apparently I wasn’t ready” written on them. Cards must be hole punched and have a ziptie included with them. (Yep, it’s a death race thing).
• A laminated card with your favorite quote on one side, and your name written on the other side. The quote doesn’t have to be an entire freaking paragraph long…
• A dowel rod between 0.5-1 inch thick between 3.5-4.5 feet long.
• A Publix or Walmart gift card with any amount on it.
Mandatory gear (whole team)
• Soccer ball (inflated).
• Football (inflated, nice try Tom Brady).
o (You may want to make sure your balls are easy to see in the dark… heh)
• A laminated picture of Danny DeVito with everybody’s name signed on the back.
• Two empty wreckbags/goruck bags w/ filler bags inside. Must be of equal weight capacity.
That’s all for the gear requirements for now. At any time prior to the event you may see this list change, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled on to the T3 Live Updates page. Attention to detail will make or break your T3.
This team started as a couple of people training for a 5k OCR. Over the years our actions have inspired a movement with one simple goal in mind – to become stronger every day. We sincerely look forward to helping you all achieve that goal on the 15th of December as we also give a little back for the holidays!
If you’re looking to refill your supply of endurance fuel, the CLIF double shot espresso shots are almost half price right now on Amazon!
December 15th marks the next big team event that we’re putting together. Much like the big events that this is designed to train people for, the mind games have been in full swing ever since the event was initially announced.
Well, we’re only six weeks away from this epic event and the challenges and snippets of information have steadily been getting more interesting…
For one, those registered so far have voted for a ‘trick’ instead of a ‘treat’ for Halloween. Not wanting to deny them the trickery, the team has been given a new bit of information: The original start location and time is NOT the official one. In fact, they must now perform certain tasks to narrow down the actual location and time for their event. Those who arrive late will incur punishment for the entire team, so this is something they may want to focus on!
That is just one of the many things that they will be encountering in the coming weeks leading up to the event, which you can follow at our T3 Live Updates page.
If you’d like to register and be a part of the fun (it actually is pretty fun), go ahead and register below!
It took a couple weeks, but it finally got written! If you’d like to read about my first-hand experience at this year’s Killington Ultra, look no further than the latest AAR! As always you can find previous years write-ups in the articles/reviews tab. The famed UB guide will soon be updated with some updates and small lessons learned on the course. Fortunately there isn’t much to add and change around, which means that the guide still stands strong in its effectiveness!
So, we famously say that our team thrives in the most adverse of conditions. Well, that needs to be said some more! First, regiment elite Daniel went and completed the Tahoe 200 mile run!
After that, three of our guys went and came home as finishers at the Killington Ultra!
And then a week later, Wil Daniels absolutely crushes GORUCK Selection as candidate 012, making it into the final five!
And to top it off, today Neal Moser just completed his first ultra in Tahoe!
We’re proud of you guys!
One of the most reliable trail running shoes appears to now be on sale on Amazon! The exact % off is dependant on the shoe size and the color variant, and it appears to be a clearence sale so don't be surprised to see some sizes/colors completely out of stock.
Nevertheless, this is definitely a sale that people will benefit from if they're putting some serious miles on their shoes. You can take advantage of the sale here. Enjoy!
Our team's celebration of becoming stronger every day has officially landed on the calendar for the 15th of December, 2018 at the beaches in St. Augustine once again!
Come join us for our team's signature event that builds champions that overcome extreme adversity at a beautiful state park by the beach. Campsites can be reserved at the venue so that we can all celebrate our accomplishments afterwards... or you have an easy place to sit down and recover after you quit.
More and more information will be coming as the weeks go by, and as always you can find T3 related updates that the team will most likely be checking more than once a day at our live updates page.
Think you have what it takes to be a fully-blooded teammate and earn that red R? Register here.
What a long, amazing journey it has been so far! The 2018 Spartan Death Race after action review is now up for your reading/viewing pleasure! It's a long one, so to help the flow of information there are plenty of pictures and videos embedded into the article. There will be a few tweaks here and there in the next week but for the most part -- enjoy!
See you out there for the 2019 Death Race!
It's obviously been a bit quiet around here! That doesn't mean that our team has been busy at many events doing many above-and-beyond tasks. Just now for instance, five of our members absolutely CRUSHED the GORUCK Independence day Tough and are now pursuing completing the Light as we speak.
But let's talk about next week.
Next week is the Spartan Death Race.
To those who remember way back, Matt D and Carey D took on the Death Race multiple times until the event supposedly ceased to exist in 2015. Well, in 2018 they brought it back with a few sinister twists. This time, we've got three of our team's Elites going out to Vermont next week to attempt what Spartan says is impossible. Any media coverage of the event will be limited, but follow hashtag #PeakDR on Facebook and Instagram for any fragments of information that get put out there. The event begins Wednesday the 11th at 10pm and is slated to conclude sometime Sunday.
