YHC posted in Seattle at the end of a long hiking trip with his family. Showed up to AO The Pit and walked into a VQ from Disc Management. Always good to post when traveling and even across the country. Beatdown included coupons, extended Dora, and hill sprints.

One PAX hit the upslopes and downslopes on the Second Leg of the Fourth of July Triathalon. Temps remained sunny and 70. According to the two French bikers unfamiliar with lone runners on rural mountain ranges, the following likely happened: Run up the mountain to Notre Dame de Constance (2) and down the mountain (2). Take five at the turn-around to enjoy the view and snag some water. Number, name, YHC took himself out. NMS: Leg 2 of the Clinic triathlon is in the books. At least two people in France consider YHC nuts for running this hill. YHC attempted…

One PAX shook off the lure of the late afternoon Fart Sack in favor of the company of goats, mountain and otherwise. Temps were sunny and 70. According to the 15 year old family friend, the following might have happened: Up the hill about 1,500 meters to the turn for Notre Dame de la Constance. Dirt road up. And, up. And, up. Goat-ish, maybe a little less. Run around Notre Dame dl Constance. Down the stone path (ugh) to the Chateaux (Fort), staying left, left, and left through Bormes-Les-Mimosas. Back up the hill to the house. Number, name, quick word…

A lucky 13 from F3RVA converged in Buckingham with 23 other F3 Charlottesville, F3 Lynchburg, F3 Capital and Bridge brothers to celebrate the one year anniversary of The Bridge. In short, those who know, know. Some things just can’t be explained. The Bridge is one of those things. I always love posting at The Bridge, and today was no different. The energy was palpable. The brotherhood was real. The bond was everlasting. When I arrived at 7:01 – launch time was 7:30 – I was not surprised to see my RVA brothers already there, ready to go. Shortly, clown cars…
One PAX again for a Wednesday run at The Clinic. Temps were 70 and sunny; conditions were 85 and fully saturated.

Reverso BTTVSF. Number, name, YHC took himself out.…
YHC posted in Black Rock, NC this morning, despite the low prior probability of a beatdown. Recon revealed that the AO was not listed on the Q sheet, the last backblast was in 2018, the last tweet was in 2021, and could not determine if there was anything different planned for Memorial Day. At 05:29:30, YHC started to put the manvan in reverse to head back to the fartsack when a car pulled in – was it a PAX member? The car was covered in stickers but no F3 sticker. It was a PAX member, 2 weeks new to F3,…
