Hill loop and follow the same route down Ashwell. Back to the school up James River Road (that is a nice slow incline to close out the run). THANG Great to see Upchuck out at RiverRun this morning.

Eight overheated and occasionally confused runners posted for F3 RVA’s first Ragnar. Two more PAX came to support the crew, and everyone lived to tell about it.., with some mental scarring. Thang: The team of eight runners rotated through 3 loops (Green, Yellow and Red) within Pocahontas State Park from 1730 Friday to 1700 Saturday. The loops stayed sequential so that all eight team members did each loop. Each of the loops were also fairly different with us rotating in the following order: Honey Do, Mr. Peabody, Toga, Lab Rat, Lockjaw, Ear Muffs, Saab, and BT. Each runner came in…

Six F3 RVA PAX assembled at YHC’s house at 1145pm for the short trip to Courthouse Park at the Hanover Courthouse to tackle the backroads of Hanover, New Kent and Charles City counties before taming the Capital Trial. YHC informed TYA earlier in the day to come to YHCs external office to wake him from his 2 hour nap before leaving. In pure TYA form, he came flying in the door at 1140pm and we almost lost a team member as YHC damn near had a heart attack. After Helix and Hat Trick arrived, we completed the packing of the…

Race Weekend

When: 04/30/17
QIC: UpChuck
The PAX: UpChuck

ONE undaunted Pax answered the Sunday morning call to arms (and legs) on the semi-annual “race weekend” in Richmond. By race, YHC refers not to NASCAR, but to Ragnar and the Colonial 70. YHC hopes all went well on the roads and trails. But, YHC digresses. YHC was late leaving the Fartsack this morning, and true to form, intended to run every light from Three Chopt to Cary to the Great Wall. To YHC’s intense disappointment, there must have been a Richmond police officer at each intersection (apparently assisting in setting up for a road race!). Luckily, the traffic…

QIC: Honeymoon
The PAX: Peewee, EF Hutton, Rosie, Wilson, Honeymoon, McRib, Carmen SanDiego, Mr. Roper

We did the Murph led by Honeymoon at a new location. It was……………………great as always! A lot of mumble chatter today around BIG DATA as last time Honeymoon Q’d he never posted a back blast. That is concerning for those of us who enjoy hearing the updates on the podcasts! Sooooo, if Honeymoon posts a back blast, the BIG DATA administrator could use this as the one Honeymoon missed, but otherwise, please count our results! Remember – its not important that we gather all the data, it’s important what we do with it. What DOES TYA do with it???????????
