On Saturday, YHC decided to take a return trip to Boneyard for a guest Q. Say Whay?! had been on me about a return, and this Saturday was, my brother, Muggy Tape’s 1 year anniversary Q at Crypt, so it was good timing. I am honored that my friend MT decided to join the F3 …
(Written by and humbly posted for Turnbuckle) YHC needed to make up for a bad Q at the Hollow so why not go back and repeat some H.U.M.P.S. It worked the first time so let’s roll it out again. Great work by the men on a very humid and gnat friendly morning. Conditions: 66 and …
We all know what we do has huge #IMPACT on many, not the least of which is our 2.0s. It’s that time again to share with them the F3 gloom. This Summer we’re adding more opportunities for the kids to participate. We’ll also have a Second Saturday. Here’s the schedule and the AOs hosting: Friday, …
11 pax entered the gloom this morning looking for a beatdown. The #mumblechatter was extinguished before it even got started, as YHC dropped the “Slaughter Starter” on the pax. From there, the only sounds heard would be huffing, puffing and grunting. A familiar voice crept into YHC’s head. “You girls sound like you’re crowning”. No worries… …
24 Pax (21 Crypt, 3 Boneyard) arose from the fartsack this morning with the goal of getting better. YHC hoped that sharing the beatdown he received 1 year ago would help them accomplish it. Nikita had the Q for YHC’s first post. 1 year later YHC Q’d and completed the pretty close to same workout without the feeling of …
13 gluttons for punishment showed up at #Jumanji expecting some quality 2ndF mixed in with the usual ramblings of today’s guest Q. As is always the case, there was work done. As requested, YHC mixed in some discussion of the 2ndF, accountability and what makes F3 work. Not expected on the menu was a brief …
9 PAX, including YHC, posted in the SnakePit morning gloom with clear eyes and sound hearts; determined to not let the infamous “Pit” put its fangs into us.

11 Pax weren’t scared to come out and run some hills this morning. YHC has started training for the BRR in September. So, with that being said, a route with hills was selected. By the way, YHC hates running hills so this is truly a CSAUP event for me. The Crusade pax know you can’t …
A balmy 70 degree morning and YHC’s first trip to Shawshank in over a year. Always look forward to seeing the ‘Shank Pax.

YHC had been thinking about his next Q, and was having a mental block on what to bring to the gloom. When YHC wrote this thing up last night, he underestimated the amount laps the pax could complete. YHC was humbled by the effort the pax put in, and showed YHC that he needs to …

11 Pax braved a brick-o-riffic beatdown ala YHC in the gloom of Shawshank. YHC must say it was disappointing to have to do a solo Stridelite this AM. Suppose all of the runners must have moved over to The Hollow. Cobains for the delayed backblast. No time for shenanigans so here’s how it went down. …
YHC made the decision a few weeks ago to step out by faith and start Qing in other places than just the Snakepit. YHC needs to continue to push himself in areas that don’t necessarily feel comfortable to him and this is one area. The trip to Jumanji was well worth the step of faith …
