The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. The operation, given the codename OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France. The beaches were given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies, landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Fighting by the brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied forces western front, and Russian forces on the eastern front, led to the defeat of German Nazi forces. On May 7, 1945, German General Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender at Reims, France.

NMM : Full body work today. Slight modification of a gym workout I’ve been doing for a few weeks now. Glad we could modify as needed to make it work.

Solid crew as usual under the guidance of Works For a Guy but now his long awaited successor has been made official. After weeks of background checks, onboarding, a 7 day fast and silent retreat the new AOQ for Detention takes the reins, welcome Deep State. The bar has been set pretty high. W4AG was only 18 and rode a bike to workouts when he started and now look what’s he’s done with the place. So now Deep State will have to build on what’s been carefully and artisinally curated for him.

BH : Praying for summer schedules w kids and travel.
Nancy from F3 SpringHill is doing chemo for stomach cancer. It’s terminal cancer and he’s trying to find a study somewhere to get into in hopes of getting a cure or at least more time with his wife and kids.
Topanga’s mom is having vision issues and needs prayer.
Praise for CCR’s Charlie as he finishes this chapter of his 3+ year battle w leukemia.

The morning started off pretty normal. Did some stretching, some chatting then headed west on a mosey. This is where things got weird … our Q, Winona was a bit fixated on Qing up the tunes and suddenly went down. We are still investigating the security footage but there was either
1) a sniper that took him out 2) a random pothole that occurred overnight 3) Deep State tripped him or 4) he didn’t see the speed bump. All signs pointing to 4.

Pedialyte swooped in to do triage and the rest of us took a mosey around the mini diamonds and circled up in the lot. When EZGO asked “Who’s gonna Q” obv ATQ piped up and off we went.

BH –
Prayers up for Movin on Up’s family as his Grandfather passed away earlier this week.

NMM :
What a great morning we had. Weather was on point, effort was all out and the 413/F3 PAX pair up seemed to gel. Nice to see how the F3 crew has rallied around 413 and its Mission to help these young men become who they’re designed to be. Be sure to come out and support at 🐢🐰on Tuesdays as well.

BH :
Lots of TAP for lost loved ones in the COT.
CSAUP next weekend, the day of the 25th into the morning of the 26th. Check out the main channel for deets or DM Hipster. TAP for his quick recovery from a meniscus tear earlier this week.

NMM : Today’s theme was Resilience and no Resilience comes without Struggle and taking Personal Responsibility. I’m reading Eric Greiten’s Resilience right now and highly recommend it to all.
We also spent a lot of time under tension with wall sits and planks interspersed in the workout. Time under tension is a great way to build strength and stamina in workouts and life.

We were also blessed with BNB posting today back home for a bit from Raleigh.

W4AG went shorts, a bold play that really bit him in the arse with the skin to ground contact in some of our movements.
No one fell today during the workout which was good. However, there were 3 yard sales post COT that were YouTube worthy.

Hobbling Gobbler 3.0 route.

NMM : Such a great turnout today. Grateful to see all the PAX converge at Machina Verde aka Green Machine aka 3rd Annual Hobbling Gobbler.
Ruckers rolled out at 0530 while Ponzi and Happy Ending did a pre run loop scouting all of our turns for us and even made an adjustment to one sign.
PAX all broke out together and soon split into several pace and convo groups. Young bucs along w FD and PSL out front. More seasoned PAX fell in behind.
Per usual, YHC hit the Porto Let at M1.2 while Iron Lung held back to watch my 6 … (types weirder than I expected).
The race was on upfront for the coveted prizes. While YHC wasn’t there to witness, word is there may have been a Mary Decker Zola Budd incident between Floppy and W4AG. Again, I can’t confirm but there was talk of reaching out to Dilfer to see if he had any finish line footage.
So many great connections post run. Was really cool to see PAX reach out to others and meet new Bros.
T Claps to our local sous chefs, line cooks, runners, et al T Cell, Toothless, Hipster, Det Pikachu, Money Shot.
See y’all tomorrow at either The Buff or Cruel Hall.
Next Convergence is 1/1/23. AO / QIC TBA stay tuned to the Slack for Deets.
