October 2018 1st F stuff

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.

RAM Happy BDay BJ

Last minute Q for RAM = no problem. Not pressing the snooze for prerun … that’s another story. I thought I was going to be late to take off for a prerun but ended up the 1st PAX there. Here comes Patty, then Thunderdome, then…. two messages from SP and Cuz (one hit the snooze and […]

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 […]

…Twas Dark and Gloomy….

…a few days before the storm at the Organ Grinder!   I don’t know if you have every moseyed on the Hickory Trailhead Greenway on a cloudy damp morning @ 5:30 am, but its anything but green. Actually its dark – real dark & kinda creepy…and if you know how “The OG” got its AO […]

Super 21’s @TheMount

9 PAX showed up on a warm, muggy Tuesday morning to get better. It went something like this. Warm-up (in cadence, 12 reps) SSH ATT Imperial Storm Troopers Forward Arm Circles Reverse Arm Circles Windmills and last but not least, it wouldn’t be a F3 workout if there weren’t any burpees.  5 Burpees OYO. Now […]
