Don't be late.
The code to the front gate
Those arriving early morning will most likely get stopped by the gate. The combination for the gate is 1246
Lucky number 13
The T3 claims yet another one. We're down to 13.
Of those 13, who will come home with a red R?
Registration closes soon
Registration closes in 4 hours. If you know anybody who is on the fenceline about joining, now is the time.
DNS, DNF or DFQ
It is well known that many people drop at the last week before the T3 for various reasons. This is a pretty accurate reflection of attendance for the big events that the T3 prepares people for, in fact.
That trend continues.
Of the 23 who registered (25 if you take the word of the two who promised to go), now only 14 remain. If no more people drop, and if 100% of the class makes it through the entire event the prediction will still hold true.
A storm is coming, in the figurative and literal sense. Get ready for a wild ride.
The predictions have so far been true
It was predicted that of the 22 that have signed up, only 17 will actually show up.
It has happened.
Only 17 now remain.
Of those 17, 14 are predicted to be in possession of a red R patch on Saturday night. Let's see if the trend continues. The T3 predictions are harsh but accurate. None of the candidates reasons for dropping were silly excuses, but mere reflections on how life always deals its hand to us all.
Knowledge is power
You have unlocked the knowledge is power perk and therefore I will reveal to you my trivia subject and my geography quiz. When Neil and I originally discussed a date for this t3 and me having the honor if cadreing the event, it was set for Dec 5th and I had just returned from Hawaii. So I picked Pearl Harbour as the subject for all trivia questions. There was a lot of interesting things I learned when I visited Pearl Harbor and wanted to share these tidbits of knowledge with you.
For the geography portion I stayed in the same mindset and choose the Pacific Rim countries. You must know the countries that border the pacific ocean. There are 41 countries that lie in this region and you are only responsible for the country and it's location.
Good luck!
Several new perks unlocked today.
I got the word that the team wants to unlock 4 perks. Swift feet, swifter feet, knowledge is power and easy cards. Good choices on all 4. Swift feet will decrease the teams total time by 1 minute thus saving you a lot of burpees, if you miss the set time hack. Swifter feet will allow 1 persons time to not be counted against your time hack. This person must be chosen before the run and they must finish the run for it to count. Knowledge Is power is a great boost this time around. I am not like Neil and have issues with this part but knowing the subjects this time will be very beneficial and I will reveal them in a post after this one. Easy cards has also been purchased. As a reward I will remove the card game in its entirety. Unless you all just want to play in hopes to pull that joker in me. So good choices on perks and there is still some time left to get some more points and unlock more perks.
Final challenge
Ok guys, less than a week away and there are several more challenges we did not get to repeat. Any challenge is now up for grabs, the inky rule is it has to be better than last time. By better I mean faster times, more reps, more weight. So this will not include writing another essay. So submit your videos or screenshots by Thursday night and I will add the points. All the bad perks have been removed but none if the good perks have been purchased except the 3 free stress cards. Have fun and let's be creative.
