F3 Columbia Backblasts
21 Patriots (including 1 FNG- Welcome Voucher) posted for a #WoodshedBeatDown of historic proportions. This is the day the 2nd Continental Congress in Philadelphia voted to declare our independence from England. The Declaration of Independence was dated two days later, but not signed until August 2nd. To commemorate this momentous occasion in our nation’s history, …
Stumble welcomed some pax from across the Midlands today to risk life and limb in the Davidson Road tunnels under I-77. 5 posted early to get their hills on at LSD pace (8:45 or so). The Thang: 0500: Olde Knight > Chambly > Old Woodlands > Garners Ferry > Woodhill Circle > Garners Ferry > Old Woodlands …
Good run this morning for #Amble. #kotters to Noonan who made his return to Amble, fresh off his wedding week and honeymoon to Mexico. Glad to have Noonan back! Conditions: slightly humid, but overall pleasant The Thang: “The Zipper” Depart AO Left onto Adger right onto Devereaux Right onto Albion left onto Devine Left onto …
10 Pax entered the early morning gloom at Sawmill to get dose of Binary on the Q. This was Binary’s first time leading the Pax at Sawmill which has had a great launch over the past two weeks. Many of the original men who were there for opening day have stuck with it and have …
The Ramble 5K returned in full force this morning providing a challenge for repeat customers and pax new to this Ramble challenge. Conditions: Humid. The Thang: Warm up lap around the block, then, at the #ShovelFlag Starting line, 3.1 miles as fast fast as possible. Here is the course: Results available here: http://tiny.cc/ramble5k or …
Lolly Daskal recently posted an article on Inc.com about how bosses can go from good to great. Since there are no “bosses” in the starfish world of F3, “Leader” is a better substitution. Thanks to Jar Jar for making the edits. The original article can be found here. I take no credit for this content. How …
9 PAX were probably much surprised to see YHC arrive on time for his VQ. Someone probably brought a backup winkie but got to keep it hidden. The goal was to keep moving and do a little extra in anticipation of backsliding during the upcoming holiday weekend and judging by the quiet PAX, maybe it …
While YHC will not be at the BRR due to conflicts, that’s no reason to not help those that are going, and BRR training doesn’t just have to be on running days. Today’s Thunder leg-o-rama will hopefully makes those hills a little easier. In between leg work, the boys of Thunder did have time to …
14 faithful posted in the gloom for a pre Independence day workout. Nothing special but moved at a good pace. Conditions: Overcast and 72 with lower humidity – thank goodness The Thang: Mosey to cage for blocks. Take blocks to practice field for COP. All exercises performed in cadence unless noted. SSH x 25 Little baby …
Leading by example is a good thing in nearly all of life’s endeavors, unfortunately YHC was not up to the challenge this morning. Fortunately, the course and the pax were hard enough to ensure a challenge without a leader. 500′ of climbing and 7 miles (6.25 for YHC who needed a shortcut) awaited 8 Ramblers …
When: 07/02/15 QIC: Detour The PAX: Misfire, Garnish, Myrtle, Guac, Slumdog, Duckie A small but dedicated group of Great Americans found their way through the gloom to Trenholm Park. What we lacked in a shovel flag (Collar??), we made up for with patriotism. Conditions: A very pleasant 72 degrees. TheThang: SSH X 30 4CT IC Merkins X 15 4CT IC Mountain Climbers X …
Greetings brothers. It is the eve of of my 5th mission trip to Nicaragua. YHC did not intend to saying that to brag, but to encourage. Back in the beginning of 2009 I never would have imagined I would take 5 trips to this county. It was CSAUP. In 2008 and the beginning of 2009 …
Mark your calendars now for the next GORUCK #CSAUP to come to F3 South Carolina. With the overwhelming numbers in last years inaugural custom event in downtown Columbia we quickly found out that many men of F3 enjoy this crazy backpack thingy called GORUCK. Since then pax have done public GORUCK events in other …

Sixteen faithful from Fairfield County, Winnsboro, Columbia and Irmo converged at 0700- undoubtedly leaving family in the sack- on a quiet and muggy Saturday knowing full well they would probably try some strange, contorted running routine that would have’em suckin wind or some merkin beatin that would last a whole lot longer than they’d plan …

Every Monday morning, many pax have enjoyed venturing down Blossom St and taking on The Bull. Yes, it is one of the more difficult AOs but if it were easy, we would have more participants than the Get to the Green 5k. And more Merkins have been performed there than a weeks worth of a …
It was Lexington’s turn to make the trip to Winnsboro and work with the pax there to get better and be better. YHC and Treadmill had conspired to bring a snotwoggler since the Winnsboro pax had some experience under their belts and were already off and running weekday bootcamps and running groups. Both Q’s for …

Conditions: 67 and muggy The Thang: 5 pax show they have heart with 45 min of hill repeats. Probably would have been more Pax but we were late getting the word out and most of the Winnsboro boys have yet to Twitter up. The lone FNG Will Black will have to wait to be named …

17 faithful posted to the cooler than expected gloom at #Battle this morning. The #Gauntlet pax from Lexington decided the AO was the perfect option for concluding their weeklong series of pain. Honored to host 11 or 12 from across the river, we felt a three headed monstrous Q was in order. What happens when three misery seeking heads …
The broken record is that we keep calling The Mission an inspiring Post, Smokey said it last week, Cornstache the wk before, McLovin before that, Serena before that, Chaser before that, Stones before that, Robber before that, Alter Boy before that. But hold on. My beloved Strut is inspiring too – especially when Lamont gets …

Robber Represented as the MATADOR with 315 Points while carying 60lbs Most laps was Fracture (of course) with …
During and after GRC 1277, YHC made the decision to never participate in another GORUCK event…ever. While it was satisfying, it was cold and it was hard and it was 13 hours. That box was checked. Then the M expressed interest in doing a GORUCK event and wanted to bring some of her FiA sisters …
In the past two months, thanks to the Midlands pax, the Mission has turned into a truly amazing workout; We’ve raised money for the OGM, donated hundreds of items to the men of the Mission, and have been given the opportunity to get to know these men who have committed to getting their lives on …
Conditions: 35 pax came down to The Mission this morning. It was great to see pax from all over Columbia, Lexington, and Lake Murray make the journey downtown. YHC was gassed from the first workout of the day at Foxhole with Chernobyl on the Q, but somehow when it was time for the workout to …

F3 Boondocks F3 is expanding again! It seems the recent foray into the Mint Hill area has brought several East Charlotte pax out of their holes in the boondocks.

I love Easter. You see, awhile back I got sober this time of year so the season holds a special meaning for me. For me, Easter is all about second chances. History is full of examples of guys being given second chances. During last night’s Good Friday service, Dean Wormer read the long account of …

My F3 brothers at Jumanji have been encouraging me to write a pre-blast to highlight my upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua. I do this humbly as I am not necessarily a big fan of bringing attention to myself. I’m simply doing what the Lord is telling me. If you were to tell me at the …
Do you know anything about The LEAP? Is it… A. What we were all hoping would lead to Tom Brady seriously bruising his ego? I know I was hoping that Bill Belichick had leapt just before him and Tom would have landed on Belichick down in that lagoon and neither one of them would coach or …

Fresh off the largest Custom in GORUCK history, it was clear there was enormous interest in both a GR Heavy (which some of our finest are tackling in March) and a GR Light. Interest in a GRL not only came from some F3 brothers but also from many Ms, including the M of YHC. If …
One of my favorite F3 moments was shadowing the Columbia F3 Custom challenge last fall. After being there 10 minutes I knew this was something I wanted to put on my 2015 goals. A lot of the talk after the event was pax wanting to spend more time under their ruck. I threw the idea …
