F3 took on the dunes in front of the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island this morning, and the PAX gave as good as they got. Any workout that is literally “on the beach” adds a challenge and a beauty not present at other AOs. The breeze, the waves, the stars, (eventually) the rising moon, and…the sand. Pppffffttttt!! The sand ends up all over…shirt, shorts, shoes, hair (well, YHC has no hair), mouth, and every crevace in between. Plus, soft sand insidiously ups the challenge (and the pain) of every run. YHC loved every minute.
T-claps to FloRida for co-Qing this morning. FloRida’s suggestion over drinks last night was the impetus behind today’s workout. As a result, FNG’s Staubach and Jersey Boy jumped at the chance to experience F3. Well done, FloRida.
Speaking of FNGs…Welcome to Jersey Boy (Ridge Muley) and Staubach (Bruce Brizzi). Strong effort from both of you, and YHC looks forward to seeing you all in The Gloom again at the next insurance industry event.
Lastly, solidarity with FloRida as his youngest has just obtained the dreaded driver’s license and congrats to Staubach on his youngest finishing grad school. Always great to hear about successful kids and hearing proud F3 dads share their parenting stories.

Nice work Upchuck! Welcome Jersey Boy & Roger Staubach!
Upchuck adding GA to his states he has Q’ed tally. Nice work gents!
HDRVA, you sure you’re using all four years of that W&M geography degree?
Write on, UpChuck! A back blast as satisfying as the beatdown. Well done. Agree that the sand adds an extra dimension. A nice surprise to discover a fellow pax and two Willing FNGs ready to take the hard way at such a soft place. Aye!
