As is tradition, challenge #1 is burpees. You must complete 30 burpees faster than the cadre!
Complete 30 burpees in less than 1:36 - 2 points
Complete 30 burpees in less than 1:46 - 1 point
Challenge is only valid until 10pm on March 6th.
There are now over 5 registrants to the T3. This means that burpee points can now be officially logged and the pre-game challenges can now begin! For the participants first task, they are to familiarize themselves with the concept of burpee points (aka 'ruck bucks', points, etc.). For a more detailed description of the value of these points, head over to the explanation page. Challenge 1 will be posted within 24 hours.
All challenges, updates and other scraps of precious information from this point out will pertain to the April 4th T3. So far there are many people standing on the outside of the pool, nervously dipping their toes into the water, waiting for their friends to jump in with them. This is typical to the start of every T3. Many people will express their intent to join, few will follow through. Remember, the last T3 had 21 (!!!) people registered until a week before the event, with only 11 actually showing up.
To those in the class, the end transmission post is a sign of relief. With many of their challenges coming from this page, every post in the months leading to yesterday's event were unnerving to say the least. Special thanks to Tracy from MudRunFun for coming out and taking pictures! You can find her coverage of the event on the MudRunFun Instagram.
11 started. 11 finished. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful and inspiring. 9 new elites join our ranks.
Why are you here?
To warm them up.
It wasn't good. They do it over again.
They will then roll a 12 sided dice. If they roll a 1 or a 2 they go on to the next challenge. If not, they do this all over again.
Battlefrog series took the time to donate two of their finest personnel, instructor mike and tony, to the T3. For no cost they provided the most professional and skillful instructor work that we have ever seen. This kind of dedication and support underscores the very mission of Battlefrog. We're so proud and honored to have witnessed the triumph of the T3 buds class.
As soon as they finish this exercise, they go back to the checkpoint to repeat lap zero one or two times. After that they will have a fakeout hike back to the campgrounds just to mess with them. They are pretty crushed right now though.
The team got four numbers wrong. Now they must do four campsite sprints... BUT. They got a trivia question right so they only have to do two sprints.
They're going back now. Time for more challenges. This'll be fun.
First they must do lunges. Now they must get in the push-up position and recite their numbers. For every number wrong they must do a campsite sprint.
They completely bombed the geography test. Punishment later.
Each person must answer 3-6 countries on the map.
Time to dump the sand. On yourself. Now they must do a geography test.
