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 […]
Mount, meet F3 Workout Deck
For Father’s Day, my M got me the official F3 Workout Deck. The cards finally arrived about two weeks ago so I decided to introduce The Mount to them. 14 brave souls showed up to get better. Weather conditions weren’t bad with temps right at 70 but there was plenty of sweat when we got […]
Just Another Wed.
I’m baffled that as the quality of the OG facilities continue to grow, as evident from the newly laid mulch and the trees waiting to be planted, the attendance continues to ungrow, anti-grow, not row…? Whatever; To quote the infamous Paula Cole “Where have all the cowboys gone?” Props to Goodwill for holdin it down […]
Needing some 2ndF? Got ya covered right here
Attention: Hickory, Granite Falls, Taylorsville, Mountain View, Lenoir, Conover PAX and whoever else is reading this… Big News below so please spread the word to all during your AO announcements… The 2ndF of F3 is fellowship, and we have been trying to plan opportunities that are family friendly, PAX only, or Date Nights. Some men […]
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. 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 […]
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 […]
The Mount is BBB Approved
The Mount is famous for two things: Patty Mayo searching for pre-runners prior to every workout Cinder Block Coupons So – After Patty found a couple of suckers to join him (YHC & Daewoo) – 9 PAX made themselves better and The Mount BBB Approved! With Blocks, Bears, and more Blocks Warm Up […]
OG Backblast – WAIT WUT????
Yep! An Organ Grinder Backblast! That’s What! Cousin Eddie is probably grabbing his chest like Fred Sanford coming for ‘Lizbeth. What is the OG anyway? Isn’t it where those weird dudes workout at that sketchy park? That’s only half right, as the park has been updated with great facilities & good lighting. What do they […]
Be Careful What you Pre!
So I won’t go into a lot of detail but the situation was definitely title worthy. Long story short, Shorty is training HARD for BRR and has been putting some extra miles in on the pre-runs. I told him Monday night that I would start at 4:30 with him……big mistake!! ANYWAYS…. The Thang, Warm ups….blah […]
