170 F3 and FIA PAX gathered for one of the coolest experiences YHC has ever had with F3. Not just because it was the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks but because it was about 160 men +/- and 10 +/- women that got together to push their bodies as far and hard as they could. The workout had fairly simple instructions. Start at the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial and run to the top and back, do an exercise for the 6 and repeat The catch was you did the stair climb 26 times (wow) YHC’s legs where…

18 F3 Grand Stranders and YHC started off the new month running against the wind on the beach in to our backs in the streets. Time flies when you’re having fun happy hump day. This how it went down COP Mosey down 6th street do the oceanfront. Stop just before access to the bed for sets of merkins and LBC’s Indian run in two different lines from 6th street to 11th street Head back onto the road stopping at several street corners more sets of merkins, SSH’s, LBC’s. Between corners we would either bear crawl or crab walk up to…
10 gathered. 8 ran. 1 cooked. 1 rubbed his heal. Temps were sunny (for sure) and 70 (in all fairness, YHC didn’t check). According to the little fuzzy caterpillars all over the roads, this is what happened, more or less: Gather at Casa de Vinny & Co on Wendover. Run west and south, before returning north and east. Turn left, right, left, and left again. Find a lake. Circumnavigate that lake. Turn right and go to the railroad tracks. Do not cross the tracks. For that matter, never, ever cross Buford. Return up a big hill, take the trail to…
FNG’s out ranked the grizzly veterans this day 4 to 2 but No Worries YHC and DTH had the skills (provided by God and F3RVA) to make this work. COP (Disclaimer, Principles of F3 and some other jazz) DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Russian Soldiers, Merkin, hello dollies and LBC’s Mosey to bottom of the hill, Light pole ally up hill Run to first light post 5 merkins, second light post 10 merkins, third 15 up to 30 Mosey walk further up hill where the slope gets a little more intense 11’s Bernie Sanders up the hill (kind of like the…
A few hardened veterans welcomed another Richmond native to the F3 ranks while attending the Windy Gap men’s retreat this weekend. Here’s how the FNG was shown the ropes: The THANG: COP #1: F3 Welcome, Explanation, & DisclaimerWarmerama on the BBall court, starting with Suicides then getting stretched out with the usual DTH exercises IC COP #2: LINDSEY on the grassy slope:Lunges (single count) at the bottomWWII’s at the topBear crawl from bottom to topMosey the the end of the upper field COP #3: DORA 1-2-3:x100 Merkinsx200 Squatsx300 LBC’s Run across field and back between switching partners Mosey Loop BTTF: 5min…
1 lone PAX (YHC) made an 1 hour 15 minute trip to Buckingham (Charlottesville Area) to make a GP appearance and just visit a new AO. COP: SSH’s, DQ’s, 3rd Graders (Cherry Pickers), Imperial Walkers and Merkins No mosey: 21’s PAX does SSH’s in cadence while Q counts to 6 and then stops. PAX is supposed to count in their head to 21 and stop. If not in sink PAX does predetermined exercise, PAX never did get in sink. Don’t remember all the exercises but there where many Burpees, Merkins and Ball Dippers Again No mosey: 6 minutes of Mary…
One PAX awoke with the dawn and set the tone: wet, stinky, and sweaty. Temps were 70 and sunny, with a touch of Columbia River windy. According to Harry, a trained killer mutt with 4 inch legs, the following might have happened: Mosey to the patio for The COP: Imperial WalkersSide Straddle HopsHillbilliesSwirly’s Dead Man HangMercansWWIIsReverse Crunches Mosey to the 7th Hole (green) of the Frisbee Golf Course for a Beast: Mercansbox cuttersWWIIs4-count flutter kicksHello Dolly (Harry joined YHC for this round)burpees Al Gore between each round for The Six. Mosey to the 7th Tee for three rounds of stuff:…
YHC has spent a glorious 5 days with the M + 2.0’s + brother John (AKA “Flint”) on Mount Desert Island (Maine), enjoying all that Acadia has to offer. Among many hiking/boating/swimming/fishing adventures, today’s rigorous climb to the summit of St Sauveur Mtn (679’), carrying one or both 2.0 “coupons” was quite the workout worthy of a backblast. The frequent near-vertical rock scrambles made the going a bit hairy, but YHC had the occasional breather picking blueberries along the way, and the views of Somes Sound were breathtaking. The descent was killer on the quads, and we were all exhausted…
One PAX took to the mean (deserted) streets of Plantation to indulge in the latest edition of The Shopping Trip. Temps were sunny and 70. According to the construction worker attempting to nap on his truck bed (this is Florida, so easily the least weird thing that YHC has seen), this is more or less what happened: Route: hotel to DHL building, across Peters to office park to La Quinta to Westfield Mall. Reverso at Broward Blvd. 4.1 miles. Not bad for YHCs second rehab run. Number, name, YHC talked to himself. Quick Coffeeteria, minus the coffee, with Omar, the…
It was an epic trip to F3 Indianapolis where YHC and Posey found nothing but true F3 hospitality from the downrange AO’s that we were able to get to. YHC made it to 3 local AO’s and Posey made it to 2. Our tour guides where Kindergarten Cop on Tuesday, Wrigley on Wednesday and Motor Boat on Thursday. We saw this car near Pittsburgh but where unable to find out the true identity of the driver as he went right when we went left.
