F3 Lake Murray Backblasts
Today was a special day for Stride. Instead of the normal 22 minute out and back out of Lowe’s, the pax were invited to be the first ever to run the Stomp the Swamp 5K route at River Bluff High School. We have FNG-Kimye (Derek Gomez – RB track and cross country coach) to thank …
It’s staying darker longer for the 266 PAX who posted across F3 Lake Murray and F3 Columbia for the Thursday boot, that means the grass is wetter, the stars are out longer, the moon hangs a little brighter and the whole F3 thing is a little crazier. That’s good, real good. The only ones out …
The Pax showed up for a cool, reasonably low humidity morning stroll in the park with Queenie. What the Pax did not realize was the Queenie was turning 52 just like a full deck of cards and he aimed to delivery a punch to the Pax. The response was less than enthusiastic to start …
It is time, once again, for the downtown pax to add by division. Our beloved Brickpile has reached critical mass yet again, and our history makes it clear that when that happens a new AO is needed. So, F3 Columbia is finally planting a flag in the Old Woodlands / Hamptons area, and YHC, with …
Turning Point hosted record attendance as 23 Pax posted for Round 4 of the #Kamikaze. Typically in the movies, the sequels don’t ever live up to the originals. However, Kamikaze IV proved to be bigger, badder, and better than the previous rounds. With the larger attendance, YHC took a Mud Run approach by breaking the pax into …
27 Pax arrived for Garmin’s VQ of Shawshank. 11 of those were present extra early for a little Stride Lite 5K. When go-time rolled around, the pax were greeted with a huge suicide run, some “half-life” exercises, and the worldwide debut of…the “muffin man” the “merkin man”. Disclaimer The Thang: jog over to a field …
Clipboard welcomed 35 Pax including 2 FNGs (Whisper and Sling Blade) to his Graveyard VQ for what started out as a walk in the park and turned into Reaper Style slaying. The Hide-A-Key was missing and panic set in as Clipboard was calling an audible of Cemetary Hill Burpie-Merkin suicides, but Lt Dan came to …
Weather: Dark, 69 degrees and 77% humidity, light NNE winds, not too bad. 20 PAX, including 1 FNG posted for Philosophy 101 and a lesson in the Socratic Method. Admittedly, I know nothing, but I have been charged with the duty of forming these lads into healthy F3-ers, so we grace the grass of Crypt for a …
This is the first annual Stomp the Swamp 5K race to benefit the River Bluff High School Cross Country teams. River Bluff has been VERY generous in allowing F3 to use many of their facilities. Crypt, Graveyard, and Stride meet there during the week. Let’s say THANKS in a huge way! Since the announcement was …
Conditions: 74 degrees and 150% humidity The Thang: Head out of RIPBB down to Lake Murray Blvd headed toward the dam 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back. This is one of the most dreaded courses Swagger has to offer with the looooong hills. Great work by all the Pax, with many not having posted …
