  • Deep Thoughts

    A leading Academic once said, “if you take a dump between 11:59pm and 12:01am, it’s the same sh*t, different day.” This is an example of the things YHC pondered while running roughly 3 miles pre-DogPile.

  • Batt-OH!

    If two is a pair, and three is a crowd, then five must be a PAX.  Flatline planted the flag.  Here’s how it went down.

    Senor Frog commented that this was the best AO he’s seen so far and today barely scratched the surface, well except for those god-awful stone stairs.  Fortunately, he found the meeting spot, no thanks to the F3RVA location map.  The only thing Batteau lacks is people.  YHC highly encourages everyone to make the trek to this AO and enjoy its splendor at some point.  Oyster can parallel park is butt off when there’s 100 feet of space in front and back.

  • A Tradition Unlike Any Other – LIV Edition

    Twelve tour vets, a rookie, and one by bike toured the links at Mary Munford National in a quest for the elusive F3 Mudgear brand Green Jacket in perfect 70 and sunny conditions.  EF planted the flagstick.  Here’s how it went down.

    19TH GREEN

    Hello Friends.

    Once Jack and Arnie fired their honorary shots from the 1st tee, the PAX set off in search of the short stuff, and we are not referring to TYA’s shorts.  After a rather quick warm up on the range, the PAX hit the course with all making the cut halfway through Amen 4 Corners.  Chase the Money nearly resulted in a couple of withdrawals, but the PAX played through.  Conditions worsened during the Drive, Chip, and Putt contest.  Not enough shot lube and poor equipment, but as Slippin Jimmy Walker said, “Drive for show, putt for dough.”  YHC believes the PAX was about 4 over Par through 3, probably too many Burpees to make the leaderboard.  Where’s the cart girl when you need her? Plenty of Caddyshack quotes, drop your favorite in the comments.  May the PAX’s days be filled with Eagles and Birdies.  Until next year…

    To celebrate TYA’s double respect the PAX ran his favorite route, Grooooooove. During the COT, our honored leader talked about being grateful for many things and prayed to be a better man, father, friend, etc. Notably absent, a better and more reliable backblast writer.

  • F 45MOMary Kill

    TYA took the PAX off campus. He found a perfect number of street lights for 11s. Also did a triple check, a partner Dora, and some exercises at each cross street between Jenny Maraghy Realty and Mary Munford.

    Without a route planned, Wally opted to lead the PAX on the standard bro-code route.  Look out for that bag of trash.  Lots of discussion about language and academia at Coffeeteria.

    The hot potato turned cold fast in transit to Kanawha when it proved a little further off campus than anticipated.  Due to time constraints, it became a Bash Brothers mashup.  Plenty of HRMs and talk of abdominal beasts.  The earlier sunrise means better days are ahead.  SYITG.

    Coincidentally it was a year ago tomorrow that YHC took the PAX on its first trip to visit the Devil’s Taint.  This time no men were lost or left behind.  The only thing left was a trail of exhaust from the paper boy and the remnants of Splinter’s Valentine’s Day ribeye.  Fudd can attest.  Special thanks to Kubota for the commemorative chain.
