Dos dudes fought thru a thick layer of windshield ice to come out to the Quarry and celebrate the 41 year anniversary of the Miracle on Ice.  It seemed very fitting that there was a hockey stick involved.

Moleskine

  • The Miracle may be that people actually showed up

  • Q actually went to the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980 for a day and saw all three of the medal winning teams play (US beat West Germany, the Soviet Union beat Canada and Sweden beat Czechoslovakia)

  • Cinders were inspired by a comment made last week as well as a case of cinder envy with the Huntersville F3 crew who have dedicated block storage at a lot of their workouts

  • Cranked up the Johnny Cash music for Set 2 so as to 1) kick up the energy levels and 2) drown out the grunting sounds since there are neighbors close by

  • That sure is a lot of setup for just two dudes

  • F3 Nation expansion updates from corporate

    • F3 is expanding into Germany and Kenya this year

    • Believe they may have already exceeded the originally stated 2021 goal of 100 regions, 1,400 AO’s, and 40k Pax

    • The 2025 F3 expansion goals are 1,000 regions, 15,000 AOs and 250k Pax

    • If interested, you can opt in to receiving the FS Nation newsletter at f3nation.com

  • This workout definitely has a place in the Natty workout hall of fame

  • I believe in Miracles! Solid!.
