Parade of Horribles

Monkey see, Monkey do.  Copy and paste.  Copy cat.  Call it however you see it because I’m not ashamed to let you know that I rarely have an original idea, but Your Boy is fairly talented at taking someone else’s idea and trying to make to make it horribler.  Or is it worster?  Badder? When […]

Assault on Hibriten Vol. 2

Backblast is about a week late, but, hey, better late than never. It will be a relief to Spokes, anyway, apparently he’s ran outta reading material and needs something new to read; because I’ve caught crap about it for a week. So, I pleasantly awoke New Years morning to perfect temps and just a light […]

2019 Smoky Mountain Relay Preblast

Let me remind you once again that F3 Hickory was born out of CSAUP. About 5 years ago a few #RedWoodOriginals were fortunate enough to be members of the F3 Columbia 9 team for the Palmetto Relay. And off we went to run, suffer, and ultimately celebrate running 200 miles together, as a team. We liked what […]

Great title, C Ed. Thanks. Howdy men and greetings from F3Hickory’s website.  Ain’t it a beauty? Couple of 1st F items for discussion.  Feel free to read, completely gloss over, and/or provide any feedback you feel necessary.  Except you.  And you over there in corner. Thanksgiving Convergence: If you’re in town on Thanksgiving Day, why […]

Post BRR thoughts

After completing Smoky Mtn Relay in 2017, I wrote a backblast that thoroughly denounced Blue Ridge Relay as a complete red headed step child of relay races.  One that should be shunned.  BRR should be treated as a Ginger in a crowd of normal people, if you will.  Maybe I’ve gotten soft in those past […]

F3 Hickory CSAUP Challenge, Q3

Hard to imagine, but we’re already into the 3rd quarter of 2018.  It’s been a good one so far.  Lots of Pax have undertaken lots of CSAUP events.  Lots!  Interestingly enough, not lots of those Pax have submitted their CSAUP info to Cuz Ed for the Great CSAUP Challenge of 2018 that was originally brought […]
