https://youtu.be/Xf3mRZ7SHu0 According to Phineas and Ferb, there are 104 days of summer. What a better way to spend the summer than challenging yourself to visit all 24 F3 RVA AOs. Although procrastinators can wait as late as August 6 to start, it would be best to spread this challenge out over the entire summer. Once you complete the tour, you will have done the following: 14 bootcamps 7 runs including a trail run and evening run 2 Kettle Bell workouts 1 bike ride Don’t let not having a kettle bell or bike prevent you from participating in this challenge.

THANG: Pre-skate strength and conditioning. Clockwork Merkins…

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…
