In this post, we memorialize our fundraising and 10 year award winners. Futon Q – Fundraising for the event and Team Brightside First of all, I just want to personally thank each and every one of you for being out here today to support not only the 10th anniversary of F3 in Richmond, but to support Team Brightside and in raising awareness for pediatric cancer. Today would not have happened if it weren’t for the OGs that brought F3 to Richmond. Speaking on behalf of the PAX, we can’t thank you enough for starting and growing this brotherhood. The fellowship…
Over 100 men of F3RVA descended on Dogpile to celebrate 10 years of F3 in Richmond. After milling around the flags reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones, Gomer Pyle took the reins and kicked us off with 1 Burpee for each year. Mosey (Mossy?) down the road and across the field to the Amphitheater for the disclaimer and introduction of our COP Special Guest. OBT takes over to lead a few exercises but more importantly give a few words about starting F3 in Richmond and the impact it can and has had on all of us. OBT had…
4 took the call to put in a Kilometer for each year of RVA’s birthday and prerun 6.2 miles before main event. Great pace kept us at a conversational with and a little push to make it back in time. Many topics covered today from Toddler’s eating to Splinter’s long legs. But as always on a run, the conversation is a mobile COT. So what is shared amongst the pax remains with pax. You have to show to know. Happy Birthday RVA!! Looking forward to the next 10 years. SYITG
On my 3rd year anniversary, I took the start to Splinter’s Q from Labor Day 2021 and gave these 55 great men and 2.0s the same experience. We also had one FNG today (Mountie) and hopefully he makes it back like I did. We first moseyed to the back playground lot to start the morning. After some poor disclaimers and then with the Q help of Heist and Tater, we warmed up with something like the following: 20 SSH in Cadence and then one Burpee OYO, 10 Imperial Walkers in Cadence and two Burpees OYO and continued all the way…
Gentlemen of F3RVA – you have been hearing announcements, you’ve seen the T-shirt orders, and heard bits and pieces about the 10-year F3RVA anniversary. F3 was started in Richmond 10 years ago with what F3 Nation referred to as a ‘Leap’. They found a few local contacts to get something started and built it out with Charlotte PAX coming up for a Q-school and preliminary workouts before passing it off to the locals on 9/20/2014. Thanks to Big Data (ahem, Splinter), you can read all that happened that day here: https://f3rva.org/2014/09/20/old-dominion-welcome-to-f3-nation/ I am sure you will recognize a couple names…
As the Summer Tour ends and Pickleball tournament injuries subside, please come to the RVA Labor Day Convergence at a new Monday Short Pump AO (named to be revealed later). 7AM launch, Monday September 2nd, at Nuckols Farm Elementary off North Gayton Road.

The HIM’s from every corner of F3RVA came out in FORCE (73 TOTAL!) to celebrate Independence Day with their brothers. Flatline brought an FNG and a solid band of 2.0’s were also in attendance. For today’s WOD the PAX enjoyed Field Day Games instead of burpees. Here’s how these heroes bled Red White Blue and Black for their teams: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey run around the field and return to circle up at the Stone House Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom FORM TEAMS: Count off 1-2-3-4 around the circle x4 Teams…
