Splinter gets the Q because it was his idea. The order of the pax entering KK2 are in the pax list. F3RVA Nantan, Gomer Pyle, cringed when he walked in KK2. Apparently, there are better places to pay for and drink overpriced beer (eye roll). Only one half of a beer was spilled ($5 lost). Honeydo had, by far, the most interesting stories.
Thanks for coming out!

…was the last time there was an official Roller Coaster workout with a Backblast. Lots of loops and lots of heat and humidity. The thunder rolled but the rains never came to cool us off.
Enjoyed it, men!
Five River Rats hit the currents of the James River for a HDHH paddle-extravaganza. After a couple of the boats were weighted down with coolers, the trek began. Upriver to the Bosher Dam, hang out at the island near the dam for a few. Try to figure out how the Willey Bridge was built and whether or not the pilings were leaning to the North. Search around for Gomer’s sunglasses, which were not to be found. Circle the island and head back downriver, while watching an eagle swoop down and grab a meal out of the water. Could it be that the eagle found Gomer’s shades? A couple of the PAX think they saw the eagle wearing them after he started flying back up. We will never know.
Great evening for a paddle. No one flipped over on this trip. The PAX is getting the hang of it.
We will be doing this often this summer, stay tuned!

Three runners of varying speed posted for some miles before beers where several other PAX members met up at the Answer. No partial credit awarded to GP who announced the HDHH and then had to pass off because of work. Big thanks for Soul Train for stepping up and taking the Q to make sure this HDHH happened. Topics after the run centered around the Beer Mile, including Handshake’s 2021 RVA beer mile title. Faceplant was looking to nudge the PAX up to the 30/30/30 challenge but no takers.
Announcements: West End lunch group resumes starting next Tuesday. Let Gypsy know your feedback on locations.
10 or so PAX posted to run the hills around Casa Honeydo. Blazing hot and humid had most pax running shirtless which caused several west-end milfs driving their standard issue Tahoes to almost swerve off the road. Some did 2 loops, some 3, and a few more. A few smarter Pax avoided the run altogether and enjoyed the 2nd F.
Afterwards ample quantities of Salsa, Sausuage dip, and beers were consumed although not in that order. Rumors that this would not qualify as a valid HDHH were quashed when Lockjaw appeared making it official. Lots of good 2nd F and then it rained like hell.
We ran hills, we ate hot dogs, we drank beverages and we solved problems.
It was fun.
We will do this again on July 29.
SYITG!

Upon the anvil of life, God hammers us repeatedly, not to break us, but to mold us, and to force the impurities from our selfish flesh. He repeatedly holds us in the fiery Forge to become softened by the Holy Spirit, that His light may shine before the World through us.
“We are each God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do the works He has prepared in advance for us to do.” (Eph 2:10)
What has God prepared for us today? This month? This year?! As iron sharpens iron, so God has placed us into one another’s lives to uphold His Forging process. Our F3 brotherhood in every way honors this process. We leave no man behind, and we leave no man where we find him. Let us be encouragers and accountability partners – we can not be influential without connection, so let us start 2020 strong by posting more and encouraging our F3 brothers and our sad clown neighbors to do the same! SYITG, ~DTH
F3RVA Brothers, Merry Christmas! Let’s start 2020 strong with a Convergence at The FORGE next Wednesday 1/1. We will start at 7am, so you have 1 week to headlock an FNG into coming out – save them the New Years resolution gym membership fee! SYITG – Aye! ~DTH
The SOJ crew has decided plant a HDHH on this side of the river to see if anyone is willing to cross it to join us for a drink or two. Late notice but I think word has leaked out over the past few weeks. No pre-run or workout, just straight to the bar on Wednesday
This Wednesday 12/11 – 5:30ish – ?? at the new O’Tooles in Midlothian, 13919 Midlothian Turnpike
