BDiE….you’ll need to read this to figure out what that stands for
Backstory: some of you may already know this, but I’m a fairly impulsive guy. Here’s an example: Last Sunday afternoon. Text to Powder (time stamps are pretty accurate): 2:55pm: Hey, I’m going up to Moses Cone to check out a trail option for Mortimer. Let me know if want to go. 3:01pm: Sounds interesting, what […]
You’re made to CSAUP
Yes, you too. Look at yourself. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Do you think you were made to sit behind a computer all day? Perfecting your recipe for Hollandaise sauce? Or on the couch ripping bong hits? (only on days that end in Y, am I right Doughboy?) No. You are born to do stupid stuff. […]
Mortimer 100
The pre-blast told you to go home. Some brave souls didn’t listen and Race Committee is dang glad that you didn’t. As far as I can tell, you had a good time, we raised some ducketts, and no one died. That, my friends, makes for a successful relay. I’ve read two backblasts from other regions. […]
Hickory is looking for HIMs
HIM = High Impact Man F3 is a workout group at it’s core, but don’t forget that that’s just 1/3 of what we’re about. The other F’s: Fellowship and Faith are just as important as the F that most know us for: Fitness. Do you have an interest in helping F3Hickory? Here’s a couple of […]
Mortimer 100
First and foremost, the Race Committee doesn’t want you to run this race. Go home. There is no picking up the six. There are simply just too many hills. Nasty ones too. There will be Mountain Goat legs. We start at a place called Tater Hole. And end on a Knob. The in between parts […]
Hickory by the numbers
We’re 5 years old now and still as strong as ever. No, that’s not correct. We’re much stronger than when we first started. Expansion into Burke County starts this month…..Morganton, we got our eyes on you. Still working on the men of Exodus to start an AO in SW Hickory. Something is going to work […]
Table Rock 50K…an introspective
Monday am: Body won’t let me forgot what I put them through yesterday. Calves, feet, butt, and back all feel like I’ve been in a car wreck. These will heal. My pride will, but it’s going to take a bit longer to do so. An ultra marathon is nothing to sneeze at. I’m super proud […]
Tug of War
Yesterday, I was under instruction by my M to help my 2.3 (Charlie) find a book to read. We were digging through some book shelves and couldn’t find squat that a 10 year old would like. We have a boat load of ones for really young critters by Richard Scary, Dr Seuss, and of course […]
Fourth of July Convergence
Man what a sight. Hickory’s Clown Car showed up at 6:25’ish and there was a sea of cars already there. That got ole CE’s blood pumping a bit. Lots of flags planted. Plenty of F3 shirts on dudes. Speaking of F3 shirts, it’s apparently time for me to Cut the Stink out of my red […]
HTFU 100 Relay Pre-Blast
HTFU: Acronym for Harden the F____ Up HTFU 100: A 3 or 6 man, 100 mile relay that will require all runners to HTFU. 11,000+ feet of elevation gain that starts at the bottom of a hill, includes a lap up and down Hibriten Mountain, goes through some of the most remote terrain in the […]
