  • (NewKent) That hole isn’t big enough

    Four strong studded Clydesdales came trotting in at 0529 on this beautiful frosty morning. The stars were out in full force and shining brightly upon this pax of HIMS. These guys looked cold real cold! So I threw on some James Brown on the speaker and we hit that sweet Bermuda grass……

  • (NewKent) Major Shrinkage

    A 3-mile ruck in the cold is no joke props to Wildwood for getting up at 0500 and getting after it for his first ruck. He’s been here in New Kent for about a month now and he’s loving the winery’s and the golf courses that we have out here. I have a feeling we are gonna see this guy a lot. He’s a great addition to the pax out here in the east end!

    Had the pleasure of meeting Bangkok and his brother in law Joe on this frosty morning. Bangkok started a chapter of F3 in Jersey about 2 years ago. I can’t remember the whole story about Bangkok’s name but it has something to do with running marathons in Japan I could totally be wrong about that. I had my own reasons why I thought he might have had that name. Joe who does IT tech just relocated here in New Kent with his soon to be wife. Poolboy had his heart set on naming him Snooki but I just couldn’t do it to the poor man.

    Also found out today that Poolboy can farmer carry 2 Cindy’s over 200 yards without touching the ground. That’s after a brutal shoulder work out!

    Be grateful to feel this pain!!!

I believe he told me he runs average 7s which is pretty impressive. He works at capital one and does something with banking. We all threw out a few names and decided on Subprime. He’s going to be a great motivator for this group!!!!!
