The PAX: All PAX

Disclaimer: Welcome to the F3RVA Century Classic. This is a peer led workout. None of us are certified instructors. The details below will allow the opportunity for you to push yourself but please do not hurt yourself. Much of this CSAUP will be executed overnight and on roads with varying traffic. It is up to you to take the proper precautions for reflective gear and visibility accessories. They are highly recommended and potentially required for participating in this CSAUP. Having said that… announcing… the F3RVA Century Classic. Many of you have heard the rumors about this spring’s CSAUP. Well, here are…

An F3RVA Personal Challenge Primer

By Lab Rat on December 18, 2017

When: 01/1/18
QIC: Big Data
The PAX: ALL

OK fellow pax members, we are about to embark on our first full year with Big Data, so there are sure to be some new personal challenges kicked around. Also, a few older challenges are starting to make a comeback as of late, some with questionable rulings on the symantics. So I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to get a few of these down in writing. Of course, this is written by Lab Rat, who is by no means the best candidate to be F3RVA scribe….but I don’t see anybody else doing it…so take it for…

10k x 10 = 100k…Woof!

By Saab on December 3, 2017

When: 12/2/17
QIC: TYA
The PAX: TYA, Swirly

2 stubborn stalwarts, one superfluous Saab, and an (oral?) thermometer-carrying Circle K descended upon the Devil Dog 100k in Prince William State Park. The following is a comprehensive and irrefutable summary of observations from this completely impressive and utterly grueling event…more or less. Ultra marathons are aptly named…they are a beast and test both the physical and mental aspects of one’s fortitude. TYA and Swirly demonstrated their ability and resolve to overcome and conquer any challenge. T-Claps to you both for completing the Devil Dog 100k…Sixty Five miles +… (yes it was longer than what your conversion chart will tell…

That other race

By Lab Rat on December 3, 2017

When: 12/3/17
QIC: Lab Rat
The PAX: Shakedown, Lab Rat, EF Hutton, Wedding Singer, Oyster, M. Oyster

With one particular race casting a long shadow over the pax, 6 intrepid runners (5 pax plus one M) gathered at the alternative AO this morning to toe the line of their own race. A great morning greeted these runners, and they all found their own successes. Of course, anyone finding this backblast should know that this race is our annual gathering at Bear Creek Lake State Park. Several of the runners were either recovering from or coming down with various ailments, but all runners completed the race strong. Shakedown wins the fastest pax this year, first to cross the…

If That Sound is Jay-Z, This Must be Tidal.

The PAX: UpChuck

One PAX could not take being awake in the middle the night any longer, threw off any illusion of the Fart Sack, and reported for duty for the last edition of the Gun Show. (This being Guam, YHC reported first to the security guard at the edge of the beach before circling up for the COP). The Navajo Code Talkers whisper the story this way: Landing on the Beach for COP (02:48 local): SSHs, DQs, IWs, Merkins, WWIIs, and LBCs, all in whispered cadence to a 10 or 20 count. Beach run on soft sand going south. Stop every 100…

Bear Creek Race

By Lab Rat on November 27, 2017

When: 12/3/17
QIC: Barry Kreisha
The PAX: ALL

These are the participants I have: Wedding Singer Oyster EF Hutton Lab Rat Shakedown Anybody else? Anybody looking to carpool? I am coming from Mechanicsville. If you can convince me it’s on the way, I’ll pick you up. Anybody bringing food? Since it looks like a smaller group, I doubt a full blown camp site is in order, but if folks will hang out we can do something.

November Merkin Challenge

By Splinter on October 27, 2017

When: 11/1/17
QIC: All PAX
The PAX: All PAX

It’s almost November. That means mustaches will begin to proliferate. I can’t think of a better pairing for a mustache than swolled up shoulders and arms. The baseline is 5k for the month. That translates to 167 merkins every day for an entire month. You can guarantee there will be a few merkin ladders sprinkled in throughout the month to help you reach your goal. Modify your baseline as you see fit and pass this along to others that may be interested. http://bit.ly/2zbZDwv Push yourself. Don’t hurt yourself.

Pre-Blast: 2nd Hour Saturday Launches October 21

By Upchuck on October 8, 2017

When: 10/8/17
QIC: UpChuck

YHC has heard lots of mumble-chatter recently (Gomer Pyle, Shake Down, Hardywood, among others) about starting a 2nd hour workout on Saturdays about once a month. No time like the present. Launch date will be October 21, 2017, for Double Dog (permanent name TBD). YHC has the Q for Hour 1. Anyone interested in the 2nd Hour of Power should plan to stick around after Dog Pile. Basic plan will be to finish up Dog Pile (COT, etc.), take 5 or so to re-fuel, and start the 2nd hour about 7:10 a.m. YHC will take the Q to start followed…

Preblast (Final)-Reesestrong 5K

By Circle K on September 13, 2017

When:
QIC: Circle K
The PAX: All PAX and families

This Saturday, 9.16.2017, is the Reesestrong 5K organized by our very own Phonics. This is a great race and benefits a great cause, Childhood Cancers. F3RVA set a goal of fielding the largest team in the 2017 event. When a challenge is thrown down, F3RVA responds. As of this morning, F3RVA is the largest team with 59 members. It is still not too late to register. Online registration ends at 1159pm tonight, but I am sure Phonics will still take your money the morning of race day. This is a race for every level of participant. You can run or…
