F3 Columbia Backblasts
A gloomy and humid morning greeted 9 pax at the Owens Field track today. Most expected a typical Fountainhead sprintfest but YHC took the reins as a last minute (and fresh off vacation) substitute QIC and led the predetermined Tibata sprint circuit. Conditions: Hot and Muggy The Thang: Tibata Sprint Circuit Warm-up mile (4 laps) …

An amazing 34 strong including 9 FNG’s tackled week 2 of the Irmo launch. These guys are locked and loaded and ready to roll. They wake up early in Irmo. I usually screech into the AO (Area of Operations) on two wheels 2 minutes before the launch. Today I wanted to get in early enough …
Nine faithful posted at 7am for a beach workout at Litchfield, SC. Boy Scout from Charlotte convinced his two sons to join him for his birthday workout. Strong support for the old man from Cub Scout and Anikan! We started at the Latte Litchfield pkg lot and jogged to beach for warmup in cadence ssh …
August in Columbia is upon us at last. 13 hearty souls arrived in the gloom at KBS shaking out the cobwebs and gazing about bleary eyed as usual. Something was different, though. After a summer of relative comfort, Columbia’s starting to live up to its “Famously Hot” reputation. The suns fury, after several repeat 90+ …
The August dawn broke over 28 faithful Columbia men as Termite began his virgin Q. He apparently believes the bricks at — ummm — the Brickpile don’t get enough attention. His first instruction was “grab two bricks and follow me.” Most of the exercises below were done with bricks in hand. Conditions: 72 degrees and …
23 SwampFoxes entered the sticky gloom at Crayton Middle Thursday morning. Gone was the lighter air from Tuesday and gone were the 4ct exercises and group AMRAP work.

Nine men joined for the inaugural kettle bell workout at #Brickpile following our introduction to the bells last week by Swinger and Robber. The 3×3 interval workout proved to be brutal. Some of the pax were heard naming our Wednesday workout #Ironyard at the Brickpile. Similar to the bricks and blocks, the bells took no …
America Runs on Dunkin. Today’s #Amble challenge was intended to test that slogan through a choose-your-own-adventure race to and from the baited midpoint of the morning’s run. While the Kettle Bells were swung at DHS this Wednesday morning, the runners of F3 Columbia rounded Lake Katherine once more with a dozen donuts as motivation. Conditions: …
Labor Day, the day that, in contrast to its name, is characterized by as little labor as possible. It is a day of laziness highlighted by beer and boating. One entire 24 hour period to abandon the rigors of a normal Monday work day and instead find something completely frivolous to occupy our lives. F3 …
34 pax assembled at The Brickpile as Heartbreaker took his turn at Q. His theme: show up and deliver. And he did. The Thang: Warm-up jog to lower field. Don’t trip over #BaggerVance. COP: SSH X 25 Merkins X 15 LBC X 20 Up / Downs X 12 Freddie Mercury X 15 Boat / Canoe …
