14 PAX and a lit up running Phonebooth joined YHC to celebrate (for lack of better words) another trip around the sun. I’m betting this was and will be the hottest day of the “Fall” given it was 72 and back to our full 90+% humidity and zero breeze. Not even Lap Dogs broken wind …

YHC arrived with enough time to set up all the accoutrements needed for the said workout – something that would have never happened prior to the “move.” Conditions: 77 with some nice gust of wind, courtesy of Dorian. Disclaimer: Completed, all PAX aware of …
Today’s playlist was inspired by the incredible masterpiece that is, “Last Action Hero” 4 pax decided that it was more important to show up for a Shark-infested Tornado rather than stay in the comfort of their fart sack. Work was done and questions were asked…Big questions. More to come on that. Still no new Anchor …

Dear F3 Lake Murray PAX, I hope this note finds you well and that you and yours had a great summer. While summer doesn’t officially end until 9/23/19 when the sun reaches its zenith over the equator, with school being back in session it’s pretty much a done deal. In yet another milestone, we are …
17 pax showed up at CHS in effort to get better. It was convergence of sorts with 14 pax from Roost and Speedtrap taking on the halfpipe and 3 pax from Twilight doing their thing. Here’s how it went down: Conditions: Around 70 with less humidity Tha Thang: As the 3 Twilight runners took off …
12+1 runner of 43 PAX enjoyed the cooler temperatures this morning (although it didn’t keep anyone from sweating) and took on Week 0 of the IronPAX Challenge. Thanks to overnight construction on Dutch Fork Rd, YHC was a tad late. Do we have something in the Lexicon for this? Regardless, thanks to Fool’s Gold for …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Lower 70’s temperature, high humidity, and even some fog this morning after the thunderstorms last night. Given the excitement of today’s mystery Q, the PAX were excited and undeterred by the 0615 start, humidity, and soggy field conditions. They were hopeful; however, that whoever was Q, he would as Benjamin Buford Blue liked to …

After a sabbatical from F3 bootcamps, I started back up a couple weeks ago. After seeing twitter messages about the need for Q, I thought is was a good time to get back in the saddle again. While seeing sprinkles of rain on the way to the workout, I knew 100% humidity was upon us. …

6 pax joined the masses at CHS this morning. With FIA runners, Twilight Tour, and high school football practice going on, YHC was forced to call an audible. The plan was to do some work in the lower parking lot but due to all the traffic other plans were made. Here’s how it went down: …

17 PAX posted at the pellet palace for another game of futbol with lacrosse goals. The soccer goals are locked up, but even if they weren’t, they don’t have nets on them, so there’s that. In clash backblast fashion, your top 5 moments: Double Fault did team 1 a huge solid by swinging by the …
11 Pax post under a gentle breeze at Depot this morning. YHC gives the disclaimer and is to begin and then has it pointed out that an FNG had snuck in behind him. Also in attendance was the man, the myth, the legend Soft Toss for whom I had promised no running if he showed …
7 pax posted at the Roost on this humid Tuesday morning. Twitter has been on fire with talk of the 2019 Iron Pax Challenge. YHC must of missed this last year but has already registered for this year. With that in mind it seemed fitting to bring back one of the workouts from the 2018 …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Lower 70’s temperature, high humidity, but crystal clear South Carolina summer morning skies. A faint hint of Coppertone (the man and the sun cream) in the air, cut through only by the anticipation of the PAX for the Hostel beatdown they paid their hard earned money for. Hostel’s work (traveling male gigolo…..attorney…..something) has him …
Calling all Lake Murray Pax, plan to be at Strut this Saturday as we converge to celebrate 5 years of F3LakeMurray (and 6 years of F3Strut).

18 pax defied the rules of gravity & pulled themselves from their comfy beds. The young-ins never seem to have a hard time with it, but the older guys always look a bit…..never mind. Let’s just say with wisdom comes sore muscles, less mobile joints, and the general “aches & pains.” Olive Oil made a …
Environmental readings: 72 degrees, 91% humidity, dew point of 68 degrees, Low UV index, moon is in the Waning crescent stage, and an unhealthy air quality (per the Weather Channel).

Here’s what went down. Conditions: Lower 70s with 90% humidity (not Moneypenny verified) Tha Thang: Head to top of suicide hill. …
Having been the ONE pax to post before (#401KRun)- and also remembering a time when Moose was Q and no one showed for his workout, it’s easy to agree with Three Dog Night’s assertion. Today though, YHC was determined to prove that one isn’t always the loneliest number. (Editor’s note: Does that guy ever open …
Was it even real futbol? With lacrosse goals running sideline to sideline, throw-ins being replaced by kick-ins, and Double Fault using his hands like a pro bowl left tackle fighting for position, the crowd in attendance had to be perplexed trying to identify what they were watching. Nonetheless, there was a game. With Pinot on …
CONDITIONS It could just be the lingering effects of the grande cervezas from La Fogata Tuesday night (#CheapDate), but this morning the buzz of excitement after Pothole’s recent Depot manifesto was still palpable among the PAX. There have been a lot of discussions and feedback on the current state of affairs within our beloved Lake …
6 pax started their Tuesday off at The Roost with plenty of sweat. YHC has had this workout filed away for some time so it was finally time to bust it out. Here’s how it went down: Conditions: Mid 70s and steamy Tha Thang: Exit the track and down to block pile at top of …

Still feeling reinvigorated from the State of Depot Post that Pothole put forth the night before, YHC rolled into Depot ready to put in some work. 7 other pax showed up, one of whom hadn’t posted in quite a while (Kotters to Moonshine). Moonshine let it be known that Pothole’s post was his reason for …
11 PAX from both Roost and Speedtrap converged this morning for some stadium and shoulder work that left all wanting more. A focus on merkins and shoulders was the goal-judging from the level of mumble-chatter, YHC thinks we accomplished that.

Bellhop made a (second) stop on his return tour to GOAT this morning. He posted on Tuesday, thinking it was his Q. It was not his Q. He had misread the Q sheet. Nevertheless, he posted (again) on Thursday. This time, he had the Q. Really. Special note: In addition to a decent workout, the …

Greetings, Depot. There are 39 members of the Twitter Depot chat. There is an average of 12 PAX attending workouts over the last several months. There’s something wrong with these numbers.

Low 80s and humid. I took the hints from the last couple of months that our block/brick piles needed replenishing due to masonry abuse and possible theft by do-it-yourselfers and neighbor hood kids building stuff. the Piles should be good for awhile thanks to the hard work from Pax. Someone commented the Blocks don’t have …
Cheeky is in ( ! ) With the humidity feeling close to 100% this morning, 5 pax took to the track to burn off a few calories. Depends updated us on his daughter’s wedding weekend and told the boys to save some money if they have daughters. The mumble chatter was light as all pax …
