Begin Transmission of the St. Augustine April 2023 T3

And so it begins! Check here for optional pre-game challenges and vital information. The purpose of having people check this page in the time leading up to the event is to train them for multi-day endurance events that are very strict on competitors doing their homework. Better to screw that part up in a $55 event than the ones that cost a mortgage payment…

Good luck.

You’re gonna need it.

Any info below this line does NOT pertain to the upcoming April 29th 2023 T3!

You guys are going to play on the same field that champions play on this Saturday

T3 Update

We are less than a week away from the T3!! Here’s a quick update for you guys to take into consideration.

We have two sponsors for Lap 1:

We have Kyle (picture below) from Neils neighborhood, who specializes in consumption of monster energy drink and playing call of duty with the screaming child in the background on his headset!

We also have Matt Mullens of Get Some Motivation who has helped write some fun stuff for you guys to do!

T3 Start Location

Alright everyone, it’s time to reveal the full details of the start location. If you see the attached pictures and diagram, it’ll tell the whole story. I want all participants lined up side by side at about arms length from each other with their gear laid out as shown in the diagram. No particular order on who lines up where. Bonus Lap starts at 6:35 AM on the dot and Lap 0 starts at 6:58 AM on the dot with your gear laid out as shown in the diagram. Do not be late and follow directions…or you can fuck around and find out. Your choice!

Anybody who has signed up for the T3 and does not show up…is really going to screw things up for everyone. Make sure you guys communicate with each other and with your cadres on who is planning to not show up. Trust me….it’s for your own good.

Train hard and rest well, because we are about a few weeks away!

T3 Update: One of the Individual Mandatory Gear revealed

Something for all you T3 participants to think about before the main event in two months!

One of the mandatory gear items is revealed. It’ll be a card with “Why?” in the front. In the back of the card, I want a few words to answer this question. To be more thorough and to elaborate: Why as in…what keeps you motivated fitness wise? What keeps you motivated to go to OCRs, Go Rucks, Running Events and so on.

In modern times, it’s very easy to fall into comfort with all the temptations to just relax, binge watch Netflix, skip a workout or two, etc etc. I want to hear from each participant “Why do you keep going towards your fitness goals?”

Just a few words to answer Why? On the back of the card!

Side note: You better bring your “Why?” to the T3 because you’ll need it!

You can dead hang off anything, but it must be a consecutive dead hang. In other words….if you lose your grip and/or if your feet touch the ground, you must start over and the clock resets on the 90 seconds. Due date for this challenge is March 17th by 9 PM EST. This is worth 1 point.

You must record yourself doing the dead hang with proof that your feet aren’t touching the ground. 90 consecutive seconds. It may be a good idea to practice dead hanging beyond this challenge by the way….

T3: Game of Games - Challenge #1

Good evening to all T3 participants! Here’s your first challenge:

It’s that time of year where everyone is enjoying the holidays coming up. When new years rolls along, people will be thinking about their New Years Resolution and what they want to achieve in 2022.

All T3 Participants that are registered prior to January 4, 2022 at 11:59 PM EST will have a chance to do so.

For one point, you must record a video at least 1 minute long with the following:

Introduce yourself, why you are participating in the T3 and what goals are you looking to accomplish for the year 2022.

Oh! And by the way, while you’re doing that, you have to be in a shower doing air squats with the water set all the way to cold (please be fully clothed). Water must be spraying on you the entire time you are speaking.

Due date for the video is January 4, 2022 at 11:59 PM EST to be eligible for a point.
