DIY – the Original DTH ShovelFlag!

By Tryhard on January 26, 2019

When: 01/26/19
QIC: Dr TryHard
The PAX: ALL PAX

For a number of different reasons, there has been some entertaining Mumblechatter among the PAX in regard to YHC’s most superb ShovelFlag, created in preparation for our newest AO, The FORGE, starting 4/4/19. The original design seemed flimsy and labor intensive, so YHC developed a better design – stronger, lighter, and capable of lengthy extension. For those of you interested in making your own version of the DTH Original, below are the necessary steps… Historical Note: YHC’s Flag soared above the United States Capitol on the day of YHC’s Graduation from the Virginia Military Institute (May 14th, 2005). Rah Va…

Bear Creek 2018

By Saab on December 2, 2018

When: 12/2/18
QIC: Shakedown
The PAX: Shakedown, Flipper, Gomer Pyle, Bootleg, Olivander, Circle K, TYA, Saab

On a day presenting weather that epitomizes “The Gloom”, 7 sturdy steeds descended upon the Bear Creek 10 miler to see what the adverse conditions had in store…none were disappointed. Observations and commendations were as follows: Conditions at BC offered a new and unique challenge. Cold, extremely damp conditions were coupled with trails that were covered in (deep) mud and made for some cold stream crossings. Newly “installed” obstacle course involved over 50 to 100 downed trees that had to be climbed or jumped over (or crawled under). To say the mud was deep and omnipresent is not an exaggeration. …

The PAX: Sippy Cup, Bootleg, Swirly, Bleeder, Major Payne, Vinny, Flatline, Hardywood, Gomer Pyle, Circle K, Ollivander, Saab, Flipper, Honeydo, Dan (non F3), Patrick (non F3), and TYA

Somewhere around 20 brave souls posted on a rainy Saturday morning for a running CSAUP. Please check the PAX list for names as I did not make a list and I am certain I missed several PAX. Sippy started at 5 and hit two laps before everyone else started. He ran home at the 11am hour and therefore completed 7 laps. He was the winner of the day. In second place was Bootleg who did 6 laps, but didn’t make the time deadline on the last lap. Four others did 5 laps and then went to the Barbecue. Swirly, Saab,…

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

By THE Yankee Aggressor on September 17, 2018

When: 09/7/18
QIC: TYA, Bleeder, and Swirly
The PAX: Screen door, Gomer Pyle, Ollivander, Swiper, Lab Rat, BT, Swirly, TYA, Saab, Bleeder, Circle K, Rosie, Lug Nut, Flipper and Shakedown

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…

The Night We Saw Them All

A PAX eclipsing 40 ditched all common sense for about 18 hours to receive a plentiful helping of each of the three Fs. This was the F3RVA Century Classic. YHC has conversed with a number of individual PAX members about their experience, taking notes during the event and thinking about how to transcribe all of these memories into a backblast. There is no way YHC could do the stories justice by attempting to capture them for the collective PAX. Then, after chatting with Lockjaw and the (sober) Ronnie, it became clear. Treat the backblast as a living backblast. YHC will…

Belmonte 2018

By Shakedown on March 10, 2018

When: 03/10/18
QIC: Shakedown, Honeydo, Upchuck
The PAX: Upchuck, Honeydo, Shakedown, Flashdance

Three brave souls departed Friday evening for parts unkown, well unknown to YHC at least. All three met at Upchuck’s abode at the appointed time, went for a nice meal and a draft or two (beer, cider, and kombucha) at Blue Mountain and commenced to make new memories. After a good deal of riveting conversation at the generously provided digs – Flashdace could not be with us but still graciously hosted us at the Nestledown. Early to bed and earlier to rise we embarked to embrace our destines. YHC is a firm believer in getting up extra early to allow…
