7 prime PAX joined in a post twister Heartbreak Ridge edition. Warmup with 20 SSH, HC’s, wide grip Merkins & LBC’s. Start it up with a 4 corners – 20 each compounding for calf raises, jump squats, flutters & mt. climbers. No longer will our biceps be ignored at Heartbreak – concrete props allowed for 30x “curls for the girls” while the PAX held plank. Mosey to the walkway for a 2x backwards bear crawl up / rail crawl down followed by 30x decline WWII on the ridge. Since there happen to be 131 fence…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESe0-_YRX7U 12 galloping gazelles, one rover on two wheels, one owl whisperer, and one lanky giraffe gathered in the swamp that was Spider Run this morning. No one signed up for the Q so YHC enthusiastically called River Run to avoid all the downed trees and power lines. A few lower body tweaks here and there but no electrocutions. All in all a successful morning. The Route Across the bridge. 4 milers do the half clover leaf and return. 5 milers to Rockfalls and return. 6 milers a few hundred yards past the Williams dam and return. A few spartans…

YHC arrived to No Toll this morning to complete darkness…parking lot lights broke!!! 0520, YHC only one present…..and than by 0530, 14 F3 Soldiers arrived to start the day off right. YHC’s watch light is questionable at times so with the darkness came DK and Rosie, who asked The Q, “Flatline, what time do you want to start?” YHC loves this peanut gallery…0530 and a few seconds……time to mosey!!

Eight men cut through the tropical humidity for a beat down that went something like this: Mosey to the new service road for Invisible Jumpropes, Lunge to first speed bump for LBCS, bear crawl to next speed bump for Squats, lunge halfway to next speedbump and bear crawl to next speedbump. Mosey to elementary school bus loop for Dora. Both partner perform the exercises and then both run the bus loop together. Exercises included 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats. Mosey to the playground fence to look for kick balls that the kids have kicked over (Helix’s M request). …

BRR 2018 – A look from the “rear” view mirror

BRR Overall Another epic year. I do not know how it is possible, but every year just keeps getting better. Year 4 was no exception, we keep refining the process and the experience follows. The theme of this year was “Invitation Only”. As with anything F3, the theme is a combination of a little bit of seriousness and a lot of sarcasm. To accommodate the theme, we jettisoned the yearly t-shirts in lieu of an embroidered race polo and race bag. The race bag ended up being perfect as they kept the size of bags and the amount of packed clothing pretty even…

Cool runnings

The PAX: Mudface, Phonics, No Idea

3 Davillians stumbled out of the fartsack and put in some miles this morning, and it seems like fall may be starting to make it’s presence known, as temps weren’t feeling bad at all. YHC and Mudface did our normal ruck walk for a little over 3 miles, while Phonics put in a skosh over 5 miles of running. YHC apologizes, but I have no clue about Phonic’s route. Mudface and YHC did our typical behind the schools and into Honey Meadows loop, had to skip the trail today, unfortunately. As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing.

Soggy socks and, well, pretty much everything.

Four knuckleheads were undeterred by the forecast, and despite knowing that bands of Florence’s winds and rain may still be part of the equation, sidled out to Pocohantas to ride the only thing available to them: gravel and sand. Making a long-awaited return appearance, Lab Rat posted just in the knick of time to join the same dudes from last week, and immediately he and Profit started what would be a two-hour mind-meld on the topic of brewing beer. Despite not being a brewer, YHC is pretty good at beer — mostly the drinking of it — but stuck to…

We have a solid track record of bringing FNGs out to our annual F3RVA birthday party/ convergence. To keep that tradition alive, we will offer an optional FNG-friendly bootcamp at 0700 in addition to the 0600 bootcamp and 0715 AM run. This will also give those who are unable to compete in the run due to injuries or other causes a double-dip option. Please ping Phonics or me if you have any questions. See ya’ in the gloom! Jville

15 warriors resisted the fart sack this morning and posted for a great start to the week. Here’s how it went down: 9 Burpees = represents the number of points the Skins scored yesterday while being defeated. COP: Side Straddle Hop Copperhead Squats Merkins LBC’s Flutter Kicks Thang: Quick lap around the neighborhood and back to the parking lot hill (going up to the blacktop). Taking a page out of EF Hutton’s playbook we did the following: Partner up: Partner 1 does Bernie Sanders (Run backwards up, and run forward back down) 3 times while P2 performs Merkins and Burpees.
