F3 Lake Murray Backblasts
Conditions: Nice, humid fall morning. 66 degrees 25 guys levitated out of the fart sack this morning and got better (Could have been 26, Stagecoach…). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m better because of Depot, our guys, and your accountability. I’ve been doing this consistently since May 2015 and my mindset …

CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Conditions were the same as Susanna Hoffs internet fan base (save YHC who is 43)…..lower 60’s, mostly dry with a hint of Ben Gay, and a lot of dudes walking like Egyptians…. In this case, the Egyptian-walking was due to lower back and high ass meat issues related to a few hundred yards of …
17 Pax and one runner showed up to celebrate GOAT turning 5 and YHC on his 42nd birthday eve. Weather was almost 10 degrees warmer that we thought and hoped for, but it was better than 75 and 99% like we’ve been used to. Warmed up: 42 SSH’s IC(the bright ones figured it out quicker …
Read to the tune of Regulate, by Warren G (feat. Nate Dogg). And if you don’t know this classic 90’s song, shame on you. Regulators, we regulate any throwing of the frisbee. And we damn good too. But you can’t be any geek off the street. Gotta be handy with the disc if you know …
Conditions: 70 degrees; 94% humidity, 68 degree dew point, steady on and off showers, low UV index. Under the new moon, which, of course, was hidden behind the rain clouds, 2 PAX are able to remove themselves from the fart sack, shake off the tropical storm rains, and post to get better.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity. – Psalms 133:1 15 pax posted at Riverland Hills Baptist Church this morning under the lights. We gathered to play a game we all affectionately call Froccer. It’s a serendipitous blend of ultimate frisbee and soccer. While some may say that …

In our continuing series of honoring the #HIMs and #UTPs of F3 Lake Murray, today 20 pax commemorated Travis Goings a/k/a Moose. Moose is a staple of Depot and is a frequent leader of workouts at this AO. The hallmark of his Qs are Simple, Not Easy. As well, Moose is a fixture on the …
With some of our most emphatic futbol enthusiasts DR, YHC took the Q and lobbied the PAX to audible to frisbee by guaranteeing a backblast by noon (PST)- current time is 11:57am PST. Frisbee brought a few veterans back to the pristine grass at RHBC, which may rival the pellet palace of RBHS for best …
Conditions: Moist, cut grass, weeds, ant hills. Basically Old School Depot 23 pax (including FNG J.T.T.*) showed up today for some Iron Pax practice. Nice of Coach K to welcome the new guy with this one. At least the pax was able to get a geography lesson today when said FNG (Josh Brewster) walked into …
YHC Q’d Anchor this morning and got a good history lesson on Lynyrd Skynyrd along with reminiscing on 1980’s (golden era) wrestling. Oh, and we did some work too. YHC tried to hit all the major muscle groups, the jaw getting the most work today. This is a great group of men and an outstanding …

Weather – humid, but not a crazy humid 73 The Clash PAX descended back to the fields at Riverland Hills for some ultimate this morning. Special thanks to JDee for coming hot to keep teams even. Of course this was after putting Booster and Rebar on the same time for the 3rd time in history. …
10 pax hit the Roost this morning and were soothed by the sounds brought to you by DJ Fire Daddy. Not everyone enjoyed all the songs but work was done by all. On with the countdown (in the famous Casey Kasem voice): Conditions: Cooler, foggy, but still humid Tha Thing: Warm up lap around the …
I like to Q. So, I sign up for it a lot. I’m usually at Depot. However, I also like to travel. I enjoy the other Lake Murray AOs, such as Goat and Foxhole. So, I will post up and Q at those places from time to time. About a week or so ago, I …

Four years! On one hand it’s hard to believe… waking up early, posting in SC muggy weather, rarely any wind to cool the skin, and posting in 13 degree weather (#PotholeMurderQ)… but on the other hand it makes perfect sense… waking up early to exercise is scientifically better for your body and heart, laughing and …

Today’s 22 PAX at Depot was the largest non-convergence get together YHC can remember for many a moon (#MakeDepotGreatAgain). We even have a few regulars out on IR or traveling today. Most importantly, we had 20 for …
Weather – mid 70’s (see more below) It was great to get out to the gloom for some frisbee action this morning. We did have a little bit of a weather delay as a 15 minute downpour started about 10 minutes before first throw. I was really hoping it would cool things down a touch …
Conditions: 77 degrees; 90% humidity, 74 degree dew point, Winds WNW 1, low UV index (Executive summary – Summer in South Carolina) My name is Socrates, this is my story.

#MenofDepot, We’ve had a great deal of momentum at Depot the last few weeks with some folks coming off IR, some newer PAX embracing F3, and some seasoned #UTP back in the game and kicking ass. As we all know, momentum is a fickle mistress (JDee, 2020), so we can’t let our guards down. We …
Weather – mid 70’s and humid So it feels that it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away since the last time the PAX of Clash hit the field. With all the closer contact we have for frisbee and futbal, Pepto had decided that we needed to wait it out a …
16 Pax (15 BC and a runner) came out to pick things up and put them down, which turned into a little Q wine making and tasting. The THREE AMIGOS were back together, thanks for coming across the pond Arrears! 1 minute warning was skipped, tunes needed IT support, thanks for the offer Moose, I …
Conditions: Forgot to check, but its July, its South Carolina, so lets just say hot and humid. 5 PAX gather in the humidity of Strut this morning looking to get better. Good to see some PAX out this morning in response to the advertised special Double Dedication Q. The one-minute warning was sounded, no FNGs …

After crying myself to sleep last night fearfull that no one would post this morning YHC was pleasantly surprised to see 11 pax post albeit 4 of them were there to run…their loss. One of the benefits of posting at several different AOs this summer has been the variety of workouts. Today I combined a …
13 pax came out to 1) Get Better and 2) Support my recent 37th birthday and 3) Celebrate my 5 year anniversary of being a part of F3 Depot. Little did everyone know, they will never look at the number 37 again, at least today.. 1 minute warningDisclaimer: At your own risk, do what you …
YHC thought it would be a good idea to actually meet at Depot this morning, apparently most of the other PAX missed the memo. Once everyone showed up around 06:33 we got to work, which meant 5 burpees right off the bat. Conditions A relaxing 75 degrees and 80% humidity made for ideal moist conditions …
In what may go down as one of the best F3 hijinx ever, months ago, YHC was duped into thinking I had signed up to Q….when I really hadn’t. Credit goes to Pothole, but there were other accomplices. How does that even happen? Someone puts “The People’s Q” on the Q sheet and then convinces …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 75.3 degrees F, humidity at 85.3%, barometric pressure slightly dropping indicating a weather front is moving in….oh, did I get this info from a fancy schmancy weather app? No sir, these specifics came from Fiji. Apparently one of the benefits of being a double-respect PAX (aside from $0.25 coffee at McDonald’s) is you get …
(Pictured above is YCH’s nemesis) Conditions: 75 degrees and humid (to put it mildly) Disclaimer/Warm up There was a (partial) disclaimer at least.. The Thang YHC was looking to fill the 45 minutes with fun for all (while socially distanced of course), and, apparently I have a reputation for running, so I did not want …
Welcome…Disclaimer…yada…yada…yada As we all know abs are made in the kitchen, however when you need that last minute boost before a beach trip you can count on YHC’s last minute six pack routine to almost get you there! It was epically gloomy 70 degrees with off the charts humidity in our garages this morning as …
8 PAX decided to venture into the damp and misty aura of the gloom and post for some light stretching and a jog. I appreciated the praise for how meticulously planned the workout was. It went something like this. The Conditions: 68 and a light drizzle The Thang: Mosey to Stadium lot SSH x 15 …
Hi All, Based on the success (no one died or got dysentery) of our assault on Sassafras Mountain earlier in the year, another backpacking adventure is in the works! This time, we’ll head north to the wilds of that “other” Carolina to summit “the Beast of the East” Mount Mitchell. Towering at nearly 6,700 feet, …
Conditions: 73 degrees, 91% humidity, Winds W1 7 PAX gather on the shores of Lake Murray for Anchor, which has to be the best view AO in the Southeast.

15 PAX assembled for Selection Tuesday. Selection + (any day of the week) = A workout that is meant to be more challenging than usual. Something that reminds us all of what we were each told when we first started – “it doesn’t get easier, you get better.” Disclaimer: Quick, there is much to do. …
As we have been quarantined for months now, YHC has found that the calorie consumption vs. expenditure ratio has gotten a bit out of balance, Primarily because my lazy and increasingly ample caboose has been powering through alarms with pitiful regularity. When Firedaddy sent the message that a Q was needed for today, I felt …

17 pax came out to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of The Roost. For many this was the first time back in the gloom since bootcamps shut down back in March. After some friendly banter we kicked things off. Conditions: Mid 40s. Cool for May but we’ll take it. Tha Thang: Warm up lap around …
The stage was set for the revival of in person bootcamps at #DEPOT. YHC was honored to lead the charge. 21 PAX full of approximately 5 weeks of pent up energy and mumble chatter that cannot be properly expressed on Zoom were ready to get after it. The energy and intensity was too great to …
Conditions: Mid 60’s and breezy aka ᑭᗴᖇᖴᗴᑕT. The Anchor Shovelflag firmly planted at the Lake Murray Dam for the first time in two months.

YHC was happy to virtually lead 22 PAX today (that’s right, 22!) in our 8th F3 Lake Murray zoom Q! Let’s be honest. Until they invent …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 65 degrees, fluorescent lighting, overwhelming smell of unfinished home improvement projects with a sprinkle of an M’s disappointment, and a wall full of tools just begging to be roughly handled and put to good use.

In a record setting week at Roost, 9 pax posted for the monthly Lake Murray Q. This one was brought to by YHC who can honestly admit he severely underestimated the difficulty of this Q. Death threats and hate were spewed his way during and after. Here’s how it went down: Conditions: Mid 50s and …

Conditions: 59, overcast, dry (for a change) The Roost has been on a mini-crusade this month to boost attendance and the efforts paid off this morning.

17 PAX ventured to Riverland Hills for some froccer… it was a game-time decision and if the people who came late would have been there on time we would have played ultimate frodgeball… but when we started the game I didn’t think we had enough players to make ultimate frodgeball the best decision so we …
12 PAX, including our brothers from the Roost, made their way to Speedtrap to #getbetter and celebrate 42 trips around the sun by YHC. A consistent theme was in order for today’s workout in accordance with YHC’s age and the number of reps per exercise. There was a slight chill in the air, but not …

Weather – a slightly windy 48 or so Clash was once again called to order early on Friday morning, and not one of the assembly woke up believing that he would be part of such a historic and magical day.
