Florida Mud Run, Obstacle and ruck training team.
With the new stream of elites, our elites page has now been updated to show off our new additions to the team! Our total elite count has now reached 57, which means that the other elites need to get about sending in their profiles!
Thanks to Tracy from MudRunFun, high quality event photos have been posted from this weekend's T3 event! There are plenty to look through, which you can access here. MUDRUNFUN!
18 signed up, 11 showed up. Of those 11, 11 finished. This is the first 100% finish of 2014! Our elites have now grown to 56. Please congratulate Tanner, Warren, Jeff, Daniel, Jason, Donna and Heidi to our inner circle of elites! Jillian, Nate, John and Kendall returned for their second T3 (Jillian's third) for more funishment as well. Truly a team of crazy, incredible people. This couldn't have been possible without the incredible help from the BattleFrog series. They donated two of their personnel - former BUD/s instructors Mike and Tony to our event to give the class the proper BUD/s experience. Their expertise and professionalism was inspiring and a perfect representation of what our nation's warrior elite embody. Look for our team out at the 2015 central Florida BattleFrog, we will be RUCKING the event!
It's happening! The official live updates have begun. The event officially begins at 7:15am tomorrow morning, so tonight there will be preliminary updates for your enjoyment.
The most celebrated event of our team is no doubt the Tough Training Trials. Our team tryouts are designed to forge champions in every type of person, from jock, gamer or even single mother. We'd like to once again thank the BattleFrog series for taking the time out of their day to contribute two very talented BUD/S instructors to assist in this event! If you'd like to be a part of the class, it's not too late to register. In fact, the team will earn a boatload of bonus points if a few more people register for the class! If you haven't been following the T3 live updates so far, here is a summary of what is happening so far.
As expected, the 5+ people teetering on the edge of commitment have backed down. Sometimes the hardest part of an event is mustering up the courage to sign up and take your first step. Who can blame them?
So the T3 pregame challenges have been going by smoothly, with the BattleFrog T3 class smashing the first 5 challenges like it's their job! In case you haven't been following their progress, here is a summary of what they have uncovered so far:
It's not too late to join this class of 16. If you join, you can then contribute to the pregame challenges and earn and redeem your points as well. For every 1 person that has committed and registered, about THREE have voiced their 'intent' on registering. They will not register. (in)actions speak louder than words. If not now, when?
It's official. Sean is the first person with cerebral palsy to not only complete an OCR, but the first to earn his spartan trifecta as well! It has been a wild journey spanning the greater portion of this year from the sharp coral trails of Miami, to the mountainous hills of South Carolina and then the muddy, wet terrain of Mississippi. Sean's victory personifies the goal of our team - shining the spotlight on the champions that are created outside of the podium. It wasn't easy to do, but the end result was a lifetimes worth of incredible memories for every person involved in our journey. Today we celebrate the triumph over adversity, and the character that was forged from our long journey.
Well, the hardest part is now over. Regiment elite Tripp and his support crew successfully brought Sean through the South Carolina Spartan Beast over the weekend!
As was the case of Miami, you can expect to see the official video of this adventure in the coming weeks! Congratulations Tripp and Sean!
If you haven't had your eyes on the T3 live updates page, you really should! Today the unlockable perks have been revealed that the December T3 class will have the chance to unlock, provided that they finish enough pregame challenges. So far the team has gained 21 points, which is enough to already unlock some minor perks.
This weekend, keep your eyes peeled for the red R flags as Tripp and Sean return to tackle the South Carolina BEAST! This will complete 2/3 of their trifecta, leaving the easier Mississippi Sprint for the last piece. The course will no doubt be our most difficult race, but we have to power through it! Like Miami, we'll be filming this event. If you haven't seen the Miami event yet, see the video below.
