    The DaPile bootcamp is always a great way to start off a Saturday. As YHC arrived once again fashionably late, the five other PAX members had not decided yet who was taking the lead. Thank you Opus for taking charge. What was discovered during the few minutes after 6:30 AM before the bootcamp started was there were veterans of 4 branches of the military at the bootcamp: Army (Corned Beef), Navy (Lab Rat), Air Force (Beat It), and Marines (Bulkhead). Hope in the future to have the Coast Guard and Space Force represented as well.

    Five of us then went to the Local Cup for some 2nd F. Great time as always.

    Announcements:

    Its not too late to join the Sugar Fast. See Opus.

    Have a great day everybody!

    COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, YHC took us out

    NMS:

    Always a great way to start a Saturday at an F3 workout. For YHC’s birthday Q, it was nice to keep the milage low and keep the PAX together with much mumblechatter throughout the bootcamp. The 4 of us were joined by Lab Rat at the Local Cup.

    It’s hard to believe that YHC has had 10 birthdays since joining F3 back in 2016. F3 helps me to prepare for the next year during the COT. It somehow makes it easier to grow old.

    The backblast title is a shout out to YHC’s daughter who is living in Spain until June but having a great time.

    I’ve proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks by being able to navigate the changes of the new F3RVA website.

    Announcements: New Year’s convergence – January 1 at 7 AM at Dogpile.

    Gotta Run!
