Today marks the 3 year anniversary of F3 Columbia, so I’d like to add my thoughts. I received my name Jar Jar at Brickpile a little over a year ago, and for the first 8 months posted regularly and enjoyed the benefits. I’ve gotten to experience helping open 2 new AO’s (Woodshed and Stumble), EH’d …
Conditions YHCs phone said 38, but the car said 33. The PAX can definitely tell you that the dew was frozen, basically it was COLD The Thang 10 showed up and put in work. Here’s what they did: Mosey to the block pile and carry your block to the middle of the field. Split into …
There once was a man who lived in a cabin next to a field. In the middle of the field was a huge rock – an enormous boulder. One night, God came to the man in a dream and said “I want you to go out in the morning and every morning after that and …

5 Pax posted this morning in the gloom. Summer is definitely gone, and as cold as it felt early, fall maybe too. A little cold weather didn’t deter those looking to #getbetter. With the Ft.

As it happened, YHC ended up in the chop & drop of A-/B+ riders that were part of a popular, local group ride. With no other @F3Gears riders around, it gave me a chance to observe, or compare the group dynamics and skills of this group to my typical #Gears riders. The comparison was staggering. …

9 PAX with 1 FNG decided to roll out of the good ole #fartsack this morning and take their morning dose of #redpill and post at #sandlot.

Last Saturday I was blessed to have witnessed a display of spontaneous community support in response to an urgent need, the likes of which I have not seen before. More than 250 of my F3 brothers and I converged on Columbia that day to help with the epic flood cleanup. The devastation was staggering! In …
If they say that two is company and three’s is a crowd, Furlough made good company for an 8.5 mile jog through the pre-dawn streets of Columbia. For the first time in what seems like ages, the weather was ideal for a long run which head out through Shandon and worked over to the State House. …
4 PAX decided to post to @F3Columbia’s newest AO Thursday morning for a blistering thirty minutes of pain. This being YHC’s first Q at #Blitz, he was excited for the opportunity to lead the quick/high intensity workout. The morning went a little something like this: COP: 5 rds- 10 SSH IC, 5 burpees 30 LBCs …
Tomorrow morning promises to bring ideal running conditions and I’ve planned a route that promises to take in all the splendor of an early-morning sunrise in the Capital City. I hope to keep a 9:00/mi pace but have no problem eating the dust of other more accomplished runners. See you at 6:00 at Dreher H.S. …
I apologize for being over a week late in posting, but with the events of last Wednesday I’ve been playing catch up. This was my IronYard VQ. IronYard had to be moved to the Woodshed b/c of uncertain road conditions, and the start time was later than usual b/c of the mandatory curfew. Conditions: No …

Yesterday while planning this morning’s workout, YHC wanted to keep things simple. Simple running, simple exercises, simple repetitions, multiple sets. It was simple, alright. But damn, it wasn’t easy. And, after reading Tuesday’s BB later on this morning, it is no wonder the pax were well pleased with me by the end. Conditions: 57 degrees, …
This morning 8 pax presented to Ironyard ready to forge themselves (yeah I know, this is cheesy but what do you want). Anyway, here you go. I am going to post the previous scores so you can see how you progressed. Oh and by the way, Papercut took the title (2nd one in a row)! …
After a week of mobile AOs canvassing the Columbia community in response to the floods, we returned to the Brickpile for an opportunity to gather in the gloom and push our body, mind and spirit in the f3 WAY.

5 PAX threw on their cleats to join up in the gloom for a shot at The Home Plate. YHC presented the Stumble PAX with a challenging 5.5 mile route pushing us all to over-achieve in order to finish within the 45 minutes allotted, and that we did. YHC carried the six with 2 minutes …

So an hour long workout during the week, who does that? People who want 15 more minutes of getting better, that’s who! So YHC woke up way to early, got his passport, and went out to Legion to see if it he was Legion Legit or if he needed to quit. Weather: Low 60’s? The …
4 Pax posted in the gloom at #Woodshed. YHC went through the disclaimer to start the workout but added…thunder and lightning don’t play so first sign of it on our trip to #martha…we’re headed back. As luck would have it, the Pax were halfway through the ladder at #martha and the thunder and lightning showed up. YHC …
3 Pax posted this morning in the gloom and #GotBetter. The themes of this morning were reflection and getting back to some state of normal.

DISCLAIMER I am not a professional. I do what I can do in the best way that I know how. I work to the best of my gifts and abilities. I encourage you to do the same. THANG Eastern NC dodged a bullet last weekend when hurricane Joaquin approached from the East and converged with another …

Given the flooding here in Columbia, it just doesn’t seem ‘right’ to be working out when we could be helping those in need.

Today’s workout was the first in several weeks for YHC, and I was honored to lead the PAX in a challenging workout (especially for my, not #thunderstrong after my hiatus). I was equally proud to lead these men in a brief escape from the sad reality that we have all lived through the last few …
6 men of The Precinct gathered in the cool gloom to lift some cases of H2O before they get delivered to our F3 brothers in Columbia, many whose families were hard hit by the record flooding that has left them without homes, cars…and water.

Today, a casual Friday, turned into a game of “who can keep up” as …

The reasons for Blitz were threefold: give the existing pax something different (a quick intense workout) give EH’ers another argument (hey it’s only 30 minutes, who can’t do something for 30 minutes) get a workout in Rosewood Blitz is an intense fast paced workout (hence the name Blitz) that is somewhat FNG friendly. Aren’t those …
Conditions: 74 and OH THE HUMIDITY. YHC had thought about running round 2 of the Stumble 5K today, but due to lack of advance notice and smoked quads from yesterday’s Blitz launch, called an 11th-hour audible and decided on the Hampton Hill out & back route instead—better known as the Up & Over. Apropos for Hump …
7 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning and were unfortunately reminded of two things: (1) Summer never ends in Columbia, South Carolina and (2) the PAX can always be training for the BRR. YHC dialed up a route this morning that featured three of the nastiest hills that can be found along Forest Drive. …
9 Pax posted in the gloom to #GetBetter at #IronYard. Glad to have brothers Loveseat and Papercut back safely from their guy’s trip to Argentina.

I think the Pax enjoyed it…with of course the exception of Loveseat at the end…when YHC …
With several #Amble pax beginning preparation for the Kiawah Half Marathon in December, today marked the “unofficial” beginning of that training with speed work at #amble.

The PAX gathered in the misty, almost rainforest like climate, to join YHC for yet another great workout! They were certain to sweat off a few pounds this morning! Disclaimer …
21 Pax posted in the gloom to #GetBetter at #Woodshed. 2 is better than 1, so Llama took on his VQ with a little assistance from YHC.
