A couple of weeks ago, Phonics told me that this Friday, August 3rd, was to be the date for RAMM Gears, Amateur Hour, Part Deux (see http://f3rva.org/2018/06/15/peloton/ for reference) and he asked me to put together a route.  Of course, my reaction was “F* YEAH… More dudes on bikes!”. If it’s truly the case, and this Friday is to be the second edition of the “run-what-ya-brung, dig-out-the-1990-something-Trek-and-come-ride”, I’m your guy, and I’d like to open it up to 2.0’s if they can make the early hour, unless there are objections.  I’ve got a route in mind, and plan to tune…

“But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words,… …Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. This story shall the good man teach his son,…”   — Shakespeare, Henry V July needs a Puppy Pile, and Puppy Pile needs a Q.  Teach your son (or daughter, or sons, or daughters, or sons and daughters…). I’ll be out of town for a couple of weeks.  Need a H.I.M. to step up.  Who shall pick up the Gauntlet and lead?  (He’ll also need to pick a date and talk it…

Pax, There will be a 60 minute July 4th convergence at Tredegar/Brown’s Island/Belle Isle on Wednesday, July 4th at 7am.  It will be very similar to the Memorial Day beatdown, but there are a lot of untapped resources around that AO where we can try new things out.  YHC will start us off and then it will be Hot Potato, so think of something different to do from Memorial Day if you get called upon.  This also gives those Pax members that could not make the Memorial Day beatdown a chance to post at this great AO.  This will be…

Field Day At the June 16th DogPile for YHC’s DogPile VQ we are having a full blown field day – F3 Style. As part of the lead up, I’m asking each of you who plan to participate to wear a t-shirt that best represents your elementary school years. The t-shirt can either be from your school, for you life long RVA types, or can highlight the era. Scower local thrift stores or ebay for your wears. There is a loose $5 limit. Don’t go nuts on cost. You can also make your own t-shirts. For those of us who attended…

https://youtu.be/Xf3mRZ7SHu0 According to Phineas and Ferb, there are 104 days of summer.  What a better way to spend the summer than challenging yourself to visit all 24 F3 RVA AOs.  Although procrastinators can wait as late as August 6 to start, it would be best to spread this challenge out over the entire summer.  Once you complete the tour, you will have done the following: 14 bootcamps 7 runs including a trail run and evening run 2 Kettle Bell workouts 1 bike ride Don’t let not having a kettle bell or bike prevent you from participating in this challenge.  Borrow…

Mission: Share the F3 experience with your 2.0s Date: May 19 Time: 7:05 a.m. Place: Dogwood Dell What: Puppy Pile, F3RVA’s warmish weather workout for Dad’s and 2.0s (open to all 2.0s). QIC: Hot Potato.  UpChuck will start us off, then pass the baton. Next Step: If you are Q-ing over the next 3 weeks, pass the word to the Pax. Next, Next Step: Bring your 2.0s (or, better yet, post for Dogpile and coax your M into bringing your 2.0s for the 7:05 a.m. start).  See you there.

From now until 4/30, get your RVA gear while the getting’s good!  Q’s please spread the word at your workouts and backblasts.  This is the first time Dogpile shirts have been available in 3 years, so who knows when your next chance will be! Also, if you travel and post while you are out of town, I recommend buying  an extra 1 or 2 so that if you can “trade jerseys”. If anybody would like to save shipping, Lab Rat will be putting in a purchase this week and will gladly do a bulk order.  Contact him directly with your…

OK fellow pax members, we are about to embark on our first full year with Big Data, so there are sure to be some new personal challenges kicked around.  Also, a few older challenges are starting to make a comeback as of late, some with questionable rulings on the symantics.  So I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to get a few of these down in writing.  Of course, this is written by Lab Rat, who is by no means the best candidate to be F3RVA scribe….but I don’t see anybody else doing it…so take it for…
