Jack Splat * at The Rock
YHC, Plank and Humpy all met up at New Hope, loaded a bunch of weights and a Battle Rope and Bing’s brick thingies and then headed up toward Valdese in my crusty old truck which is about as old as I am. My truck has a sagging suspension (like me) and the weight of Plank […]
Starting Position, Moo!
It was a wonderful morning for an F3 workout. YHC rolled up at Northview right on time at 6:15 and learned that the pax were trying to decide who was going to Q if I didn’t show up. But that wasn’t necessary and we immediately got down to business. The THANG: Warmup: SSH x15 IC […]
A Breezy Ruck
3 pax posted this morning in the cool and windy gloom. As RAM was starting, we took off to Ruck a little bit and then do some exercises. We completed a mile loop and tried to get between some vehicles to get out of the wind. First we had fun with our rucks: Start with […]
Deck of Death
7 PAX showed up this morning. The Mount welcomed the Ghost Flag back. It was good to see that even with a little bit of rain, the men of The Mount shrug off the option to fartsack and got better. The workout went like this. Warm Up (in cadence) SSH x13 ATT x12 Humpy’s x12 […]
This place isn’t that sketchy
22 days. The P200 is coming. YHC knows it and can feel it. Trying to strike a balance between boot camping and getting ready to run at the end of March, YHC settled on a run from the AO, down towards the lake, with a hill and pain stations along the route. Once the pre-run […]

Yeah, well we have stripper glitter
Weather: Foggy, cold, and wet (not what she said) Thang: Beaker, Patty Mayo, and YHC went for a Pre Run that almost turned into a During Run. We came skidding in at 5:30:01.01. I had to yell the disclaimer as I waddled in from across Union Square. No cool down for those running tools. Straight […]
Escalators at The ER
Still riding a high from this weekends F3 Hickory 4th anniversary convergence, but knowing that the P200 is just around the corner, the Q decided to put a few extra miles in this morning. Upon arrival he noticed that it was very quiet. Almost too quiet. Then he realized that at least one of his […]
