F3 Lake Murray Backblasts
21 days into the New Year, we were geeked to have 27 PAX post for today’s Mission workout. As hopefully everyone will attest, this AO is especially special…where all 3 Fs consistently show-up. We were so happy to welcome 5 PAX that traveled all the way from the Grand Strand, rising in the gloom to …
Congratulations – you have almost made it halfway through the challenge! Starting Monday, we will take on another weekly challenge… one that YHC and many others find to be quite difficult. Thought we’d let the info out early so that you can shop for your groceries accordingly. Don’t forget the bread and….. never mind. This …

MudGear is a company born from the F3 experience. In 2012, a FEBA-filled Malkovich and a small crew from F3 Charlotte Metro stepped up to take over F3 Gear ordering responsibilities from OBT, who had grown weary of handing out shirts from the back of his car. The operation nearly failed to launch …

Are you ready for a convergence with a purpose!!! After the Hurricane Matthew clean up, it became vitally clear that while F3 had the manpower and gumption to assist in disaster relief, we didn’t have any official credentials. F3 St. Simons is going to host, in partnership with SSUMC, an Early Response Team Training event. …
Some things are worth the wait…F3 Camden was originally planned to be launched on 1/7/2017, but icy road conditions for the traveling pax made the launch get pushed back one week. Well, this was one decision that was worth the wait. 44 pax with 17 FNG’s arrived at Rectory Square for the launch of F3 …
Way to go, fellas! We’re TWO weeks into the fuel challenge. Now it’s time to discuss the Week 3 Challenge: The Caffeine Cutback. Yes, it hurts me, too. Yes it’s hard. Yes, our co-workers and families may want to avoid us this week. There’s nothing inherently bad about moderate (<3 cups a day) use. In …

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 …
I am happy to announce the I-20 corridor between Florence and North Augusta will be adding another F3 location with the launch of F3 Camden. There has been a strong demand from the Camden area for F3 and I know this area will prosper. We are doing a four weekend launch starting 1/14/2017 before we …

Congratulations, thrill seekers! You’ve made it through Week One of the fuel challenge. After getting acclimated to the base program for a week, we will now incorporate some weekly challenges in addition to the base plan. Remember, these weekly challenges are not cumulative so you can handle it! YHC is throwing a curve ball here …
Merry New Year, er’rbody! Hope your 2017 is off to a great start. It’s been a while since we fired up the good ole Fuel Challenge, so after hearing several pax ask about bringing it back over the holidays (and YHC going on a feeding frenzy that has lasted approximately 6 weeks), we’re going to …
When my wife and I had the idea to create Operation Sweet Tooth to honor our daughter’s memory, we had no idea of how our initiative would be welcomed. We are just a simple, mourning family, wanting to honor our daughter’s memory and do some good for other children, and their families while trying to …
Just when you thought your previous experiences at #TheMission couldn’t be topped, this Saturday came along and took things to another level. It truly was a special day at #TheMission on Saturday.

Not snow, not ice, not football, not several push backs, nor even temperature could keep 72 PAX away from conquering the Frozen Edition of The Cottonmouth. For almost two years I’ve participated in this juggernaut called F3. And one thing that is a common theme throughout is: present a challenge, no matter how difficult, and …
Back at the 5-year anniversary Ultra-Convergence in Charlotte, something Dredd said at the end stuck with me. I’m paraphrasing this quote but it’s fairly close: “Some guy out there needs this. Some guy out there is wondering what the heck his life is all about. Some guy out there is being a lousy Dad. Some …
It’s update time. The Cottonmouth is waiting to strike. Are you ready? In just 2 days and a wake up (albeit early in the morning) you’ll be embarking on the Frozen Edition of The Cottonmouth. So we’ve got some things to cover so you’re all set. Since I know a lot of you do NOT …
A few weeks ago, I began soliciting stories from the PAX of F3 Greenwood to show how F3 has impacted their lives. My thought was that I would chat with the guy to get a feel for his story, then sit down and interview him before writing up a nice puff piece about he went …
The F3 Marketing Team will soon select and unveil a new national Official F3 Race Jersey Logo for 2016.

At F3 Greenwood’s first ever Christmas party, YHC was struck with a really weird idea: What if we get like eight guys to Q a workout and give them 30 minutes each? After asking around, it was clear we had enough guys interested. “That sounds completely stupid,” Meatloaf said. “And utterly pointless,” quipped Flossy. And, …
Start the New Year at The Wall as we take to the trails of Sesquicentennial again this Saturday (Jan. 2). We will meet at the Polo Road Park @ 730 Polo Rd at 7:00am and depart soon after (once light is appropriate). Break up the monotony of road running, start building your P200 miles, or …

It’s not an accident. Men of purpose and impact are intentional about their lives. Men who become part of F3 start to explore the idea of Faith. In many cases, this starts with asking questions like, “What do I believe? What do I value? What is important to me? Is there more than just writing …

Those who have spent more than 30 seconds with me know what attracted to me to F3 and why I believe in everything it stands for and hopes to accomplish. I have been reminded of that reason repeatedly throughout the year and I feel it bears telling. I want you to know what kind of …
To date we have about a DOZEN Pax HC’d to walk the Lexington Snowball Christmas Parade Sunday, December 6. We still need a truck and driver to lead us. If you don’t have a truck but are willing to drive, we can use my Tacoma (the truck HAS to be a Toyota of some model …

On October 4th the world as a lot of people of know it changed drastically as the sky’s opened up and the flood waters rose. What came over the next days and weeks amazed me. The way that neighbors, communities, and strangers all came together to help each other out in a great time of …

30 or so Pax assembled in the gloom-less parking lot of First Baptist Church for the second annual Run Hard Lexington Half/10K/5K. The Pax were a little out of their element in the late morning hours of 7AM but the lack of gloom did not affect the effort levels. With a Ken Doll led Ball of …
Note: This post is about the men of F3 Columbia, Lexington, and Lake Murray who have answered the call to serve men in their community. When I say “I” or “we”, I’m talking about these guys. If you take one thing away from this post, I hope you will find it in your heart to …
Some of these guys are fast and strong and likely could keep pace with about anyone – heck, they traversed the Mud Run with Dredd. The rest are busting their butts to get faster and stronger. But they all go back to the Oliver Gospel Mission at 9:30 and get back to the real workout. …

As the comment function has been disabled on the actual Mud Run backblast, which is fine (author’s discretion), I just wanted to provide a separate venue for those that have further comments to be able to make them, if they are so inclined. I don’t have any comments because I wasn’t there, but I support …
The Cottonmouth: Frozen Edition So YHC has some bad news, and then some really, really good news. First, the bad news: The Cottonmouth – Halloween Edition is a bust. Gone. No more. Cancelled. Eradicated. This means, do NOT show up for The Cottonmouth starting at Strut on November 7th. Or the 14th. Or anytime in 2015 for …

We trust all of you are excited and ready to be a part in our largest gathering of F3 men.

There are a few logistical changes, so this PreBlast is an attempt to provide sufficient detail …
Greetings brothers. I am celebrating a year of involvement with F3. It’s been somewhat a whirlwind of a year full of endeavors, opportunities I never thought would be possible. But with faith and little encouragement, from my F3 brothers, friends and family I have succeeded in things I thought were far out of reach at my …

The Mud Run has given the OGM men purpose in their workouts; it’s got them excited about the comradery with their F3 brothers; they’re trusting each other as they prepare and they take solace in the truth that their support of each other in the run will get them through it. And they’re all over …
The Cottonmouth – Halloween Edition Make no mistake about it – last year’s Cottonmouth was one to be remembered.

Six months ago, Columbia area regions launched a downtown AO to support the men enrolled in The Oliver Gospel Mission’s residential recovery program.

18 men showed up to take on this #CSAUP event. Most treated it like a training-run-on-steroids, while others might have been racing. Truth is the maybe-racers were so far ahead of YHC that I’m not really sure what they were doing, but they were doing it fast. Here’s what you missed: Conditions: Not bad. Humidity …

I witnessed something powerful at The Mission on Saturday.
