The Butterfly Effect
I’m still riding a high from last night’s 3rd F Event. Thanks again Flex Seal, it was everything that I had hoped it would be and more. I know what you and Dragonfly were doing this am, so you two are absolutely excused for not seeing yall at ER this am. I had a quick […]
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 […]
Twas the gloom before Christmas
Pre-run: 8 pax arrived at 0500 to run through Conover wearing Christmas costume attire. Centerfold set the pace. Since he was not actually wearing a costume (his wife’s sweater and shorts) he was able to set a ambitious pace, while the more spirited pax sweated through their polyester onesies. BEATDOWN: YHC welcomed F3 brothers from […]
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 […]
There’s always more
I’ve been tossing around several topics to write about this month. From how we’re a fraternity – a good one, mind you. That led to fraternity jokes. To warnings about how winter is coming and finally to introspective thoughts about my 5th year w/ F3. With that in mind: 1: I knew a guy who […]

3 pax posted on this nice cool morning at Copperhead Creek for a beat down from The Dude. And here’s how it went. No warm up The Dude got to the point very quick with a mosey to the parking deck. And things got bad really fast when he said “yep this is going to […]
F3 Granite Falls Q School, Part 3
“Wait . . . there is a third part to F3 Q School? I knew about part one, where we discuss the history, structure and reasoning behind the three Fs over a beer or sweet tea. And, of course, the beatdown portion was a no brainer; I knew that was coming. But what is this […]
Rucks of pain
Wow the IPC wk1 is no joke. 3 pax thought it would be a good idea to double down this morning. We met at 0600 to knock out the challenge needless to say it knock us out instead. We gave it all we had for a sold 2 and a half rounds and knowing we […]
