Back in the glory days of High School Football (yup, YHC was an outside linebacker if you can believe that) we did PT at the four corners of the field, each coach taking a corner and working us over until the whistle was blown. We players, in turn, ran between each corner or station verbally …
Eight of us rallied at Trenholm Plaza for a Monday workout that has traditionally been geared toward speed. No one likes “track day” but it’s fallen to me three times lately to put together something with a speed focus. After a weekend punctuated with LSD miles by a number of the faithful, today’s trip to …
Where’d all the #Thunder pax go? Once upon a time #Thunder was putting up regular #Problematic numbers but today all those #HIM’s must have needed their beauty rest. Or perhaps they were all hedging their workout plan for BetaMax’s Thursday Q. Whatever the reason, the masses were missed and the ocho of us stalwarts pledged to call …
Since the fated (but not our fault) locking down of the #Brickpile AO, today’s #downPAINment was strictly off the reservation. And by that I mean we didn’t do a darn thing on Dreher property… not that there’s anything wrong with that. There’s plenty to see and do in Heathwood and the #Brickpile pax tried to …
Some old favorites always remain favorites. When called upon to Q #Ramble it’s like reaching back into years gone by to dredge up something not unique but perhaps forgotten. Such was the route du jour, a throwback to the early days of exploring Columbia from Shandon Pres. and finding gems like the Blatt Bridge and the …
Last year F3 men from three different regions teamed up for a fall mission trip to Haiti hot on the heels of Hurricane Matthew’s pass over the island nation. It was a trip that was in the planning stages for months but was used, due to that disaster, at the height of their need. F3Haiti …
YHC realized mid week that the Battle Q was his and that his intended partner in crime was on the DL. No problem… Q’ing the hardest workout in town with one hand tied behind my back is just part of the job description, right? Rather than risk embarrassment (Q’ing 30 minutes of Battle is more …
A beautiful morning for a beatdown. Nearly 50 degrees putting the short sleeve shirts back in play after the cold, cold start to the week is what makes #FamouslyHot @F3Columbia a great place to call home. Satchel Ford, however, was a meat grinder this AM as YHC tripled everything and burned the clock in short order. Conditions: …
When it’s cold, YHC has a habit of dropping gear along a route. When it’s this cold it’s like a yard sale… in everyone’s front yard. So, rather than scattering gear across half of Forest Acres, and being that Monday’s a traditional speed/track day, Trenholm Plaza become our course with a bunch of ugly mixed in. …
YHC expected it to be colder this morning than it was. Such is the trick your mind plays on you when the cell phones connection to whatever thermometer is out there tells you it’s snow weather. Expecting a chill I planned my arrival to #SwampFox with only a minute or so to spare peeling in behind …
