Backblasts might be on “Beach Time” here on The Strand

By Viral on August 18, 2017

When: 08/17/17
The PAX: Viral

13 regulars and one Richmonder (repping his WDog shirt) posted in the gloom for Blackbeard’s Revenge. Here’s how it went down in 80 degree heat and 89% humidity. Since it might be that Cheezy Biscuit — the Q at Blackbeard at F3GrandStrand on Thursday — had such a good birthday (and birthday Q) it might be that the Thursday backblast for Blackbeard is MIA in all the tomfoolery. Knowing that any good F3er never leaves anyone behind, YHC’s muggy and sweaty descriptions will have to suffice to make sure we’re on the right side of Corporate. Let’s face facts fellas…

Triple Sprints, Triple Check, Backwards Lunges, and a bunch of Burpees.

QIC: Chum Bucket
The PAX: Johnsonville, Earthworm, Attila, Loose Goose, Flip Phone, and Chum Bucket

A PAX of six posted in the sticky gloom for this morning’s offering of Circus Maximus. YHC spent yesterday riding 8 hours for a 1 hour event, but noticed the Q slot was empty as of early last night so I’d thought through a workout idea but neglected to sign up last night. Johnsonville, acting much more responsibly, signed up late last night to Q, but conceded the Q to YHC after a brief discussion in the shiny new Mills Godwin parking lot. Thank you Jville. Other CM regulars emerged from their vehicles, including Earthworm (not sporting an F3 shirt)…

PRE-Blast Puppy Pile 8/19/17

By Marv on August 17, 2017

The second “Puppy Pile” is set to kick off at 7am this Saturday after Dog Pound. If you aren’t familiar with “Puppy Pound” it is a 2.0 centered workout…so bring your kids and we’ll go for an hour. As of right now, we are doing it the third Saturday of each month, right after Dog Pile. We started it in July and it was a ton of fun…definitely quality time with the 2.0s. Unfortunately, I’ve gotta get out of town this Saturday. Can anyone commit to hot potato-ing it from 7-8? I think we are going to have a good…

THANG Start at SF Run Hills of varying lengths End at SF Mileages measured between 4.2 and roughly 5.5 miles. Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN As YHC began to plant the flag, an ornery old Hillcrest resident stopped to make sure YHC would not be digging a hole on her precious land. Keep driving lady. At one minute past TYA’s 5:30, the PAX took off, Rosie and YHC in one direction, TYA, Shakedown, and Crikey the other. Rosie and YHC were saved by…
