So far so good
They're about done with the crawls, laps and burpees. Lap 0 concludes after this. Little do they know is that when they get out of the water, they're going right back in to do it all over again for the first half of lap 1.
There were some real superstars in the water today. Some of the fastest and strongest people completely floundered and fell apart at the same time.
Welcome to the T3. You'll find something that you're good at, and then something that you're bad at.
Drown proofing
With your hands locked/tied, sink to the bottom of the pool and come back up. 10 times.
Time for water PT
Water treading and drown proofing.
Flutter kicks!
They opened up their eggs and found some punishments. Now they're doing burpees.
Punishment
They had their feet too far apart then hopping. Learning has occurred.
Easter egg hunt!
For the pregame challenge, they must hop like a bunny rabbit and use their buckets as egg baskets. Inside the eggs are various forms of punishment and reward. Happy Easter!
All but one
All but one showed up to the pregame
How perfect
A lunar eclipse is happening right now!
They have arrived
People are gathering.
Morning has arrived.
After a delicious gathering at Outback Steakhouse, very little sleep has occurred to the majority of the class. Nervous bits of excitement kept pulling people out of unconsciousness, according to the accounts of a few who have messaged the cadre. Nevertheless, they have less than two hours before their hell begins. Or one hour depending on if they choose to do the pre-t3 bonus lap.
Getting set up
Preliminary coursework has begun. And so have the live updates!
The Final Perks
It looks like the team was late in getting their final unlocks in... oops! That's too bad. However, the requested perks of 2 stress cards and fixed dice...
WILL be unlocked.
At a dire expense.
Everybody's point count has been zeroed out. Everybody will be starting the T3 with ZERO points to their name. It could always be worse. Oh yes it can.
Challenge #10 - Can you read through time while doing eight counts and running?
Welcome to challenge #10. What happened to 9? Well, if Microsoft can go from Windows 8 to Windows 10, we're going from 8 to 10 as well. This challenge is going to be an easy one, so sit back and relax! Cadre Neil has come to the realization that all elites must now be held to an admirable and unique standard, which must be demonstrated prior to entering the T3. Here are the rules and tasks for the next challenge, due TONIGHT at 11:59pm:
- Each runner must run a route spelling out "Regiment" in low gothic script font
- Since we're in 2015 the runner must run 2015 miles minimum, meaning your "Regiment" will be planted in the center of the United States, most likely.
- At the time of this post, it is 7:35am, so your pace per mile must be 7:35/mi minimum.
- At the end of the run, each runner must acquire an autographed portrait of Kim Jong Un.
- This is a non-reward challenge, and is completed to avoid the penalty - doing the entire T3 with an active hornets nest in your ruck. The hornets will be upset.
Seemingly unnecessary edit: April fools, though some photoshopped results would garner a nice laugh :)
