F3 Lexington Backblasts
YHC eased his aching body out of the fartsack this morning thinking “What in the world was I thinking signing up to Q!!!”. The cold that seemed to disappear at the end of last week crept up quickly this morning, which didn’t help the aches at all from the events that occurred last week. Regardless, …

17 Pax rose to the green gloom to receive their Patty’s day beatdown. To answer all the questions raised to YHC this morn. Nope, no one pissed in my lucky charms this morn, I just missed the Cinder blocks and felt it was time to get back to an ole fashion beatdown. Conditions: 56 degrees …
6 Pax came well prepared for YHC’s favorite annual Q tradition. Growing up in a state where Ball is Life, The Tournament always bring some electricity to the month of March.

14 Pax got out of their fartsacks this morning on St. Patrick’s Day! YHC is not Irish, but isn’t everyone Irish on St. Patrick’s Day?

When a high school Xcountry coach joins your group and volunteers to lead a running group workout, you know good things will happen. Add to that the opportunity to run on the track under the lights! –BONUS. (YHC thinks he ran faster because he could see the finish line!) Add to that the coach’s F3 …

(Written by and humbly posted for Shake-n-Bake) When the Q’s alarm clock went off early Saturday morning, he peeked out the window only to see the pouring rain. He thought to himself, I’ll drive up to the Turning Point AO, no one will show, and I’ll head back home. Much to the Q’s delight, 14 Pax …
Saturday morning’s rain did little to deter The Strut Brigade and The Herd from converging at Jumanji for their daily downpainment. This day was a little different in that not only did they post for “The What,” the workout itself, but also for “The Why” in the form of a hands-on Q-school led by YHC. …

A promise was made to the pax that due to the warmer conditions, they may just break a sweat in this workout…no coupons necessary. Conditions: 60° and breezy Disclaimer and prayer …
YHC woke up this morning multiple times due to his daughter being sick, so when it was finally time to remove himself from the fartsack both the mind and body were unwilling participants.

Once again, the men of Shawshank did not disappoint. By the time the convoy stopped, there stood 27 men with their game faces on, ready to bring it. After a quick disclaimer and prayer, they rolled out to the COP. From that point forward they reminded YHC of why these grounds and these men hold …
Awesome 62 degrees 1 FNG Disclaimer 3 Pax got up extra early from their comfy fartsacks for a 3.3 mile Stridelite Run.

Thanks Donatello for …

The 11 pax posted at the BOM grew to 12 pax by the COT. Today YHC decided that it was time to return to the Whiteford hill. 22.5 minutes out and back for a 45 minute total run today. Every pax made it to the top of Whiteford without stopping to Walk, and every pax covered …
27 Pax jumped out of the fartsack this morning to take on some nice weather and a little fun that YHC had cooked up. For what seemed like a first in a few months, the steps to press box were finally dry, so we decided to take them on. Mix the Tower of Terror in …
31 Pax released their 6s from the fartsack this morning to get better at Shawshank. 12 Pax put in some OT with an out and back Stridelite to get the juices flowing. YHC was truly impressed with the Stridelite group here. No sadclown run like at the AO that rhymes with Drypt. Paces ranged from the …

The 6-PAX that showed up found out. It was someone that definitely doesn’t want to skip a beat, or can’t beat a skip.

A total of 44 men showed up, including 5 FNGs, to The Grove for the beginning of a new day on Daniel Island and the surrounding communities. As YHC prepared for the launch, it had me thinking about how F3 has touched my life, and very unexpectedly. I had gone from someone who was cruising …

WEATHER: Balmy 66° It’s always great to be amongst the PAX, but today was a little more special as it marks YHC’s 1 year (+1 day) anniversary of being a part of F3 Nation; 3 months, to the day, from hip surgery; and first Q back since November – but more (much more) about that in …
13 Pax posted this morning for the first Krispy Kreme donut run. #Crusade and #Stride converged at Krispy Kreme on Rt. 378 for what I call a counter-productive run. That’s if you eat the donut’s, and who doesn’t like a hot donut on a cold morning following 45 minutes of running. Conditions: Much colder than the day …
8 PAX Posted against their better “judgment” at TP for a warm breeze beat down of sorts. Thankfully the PAX left the “Hawaiian shirts” in the drawer and chose more appropriate attire. “Casper” was present and delighted in whipping up an “Italian classic” of “small edible fruit.” As it turned out, the “stationary runner” was out of order again, …
24 Pax including sprung from their fartsacks to get better this morning. YHC was tapped by Nailpop to fill in for him since he couldn’t be there this morning.

YHC’s first Q with the Herd, he was very excited and nervous this morning. Had to bring his “A” Game just to live up to the standard of Jumanji 1 lap around walking path with all kinds of goodies in the middle (high knees, butt kicks, run backwards, Karoke right side, Karoke left side, bear …
On Tuesday YHC hung around for some 2nd F with Thumbs Up and No Help, during the conversation Thumbs Up mentioned how we don’t have a good place for box jumps.

Just like what seems to be a recurring theme, YHC went to bed last night not knowing exactly what would appear on his Weinke between then and COP. Having an AO with the opportunities like SnakePit, YHC slept peacefully knowing that he’d provide the PAX with a beatdown to remember. Mainly just because he knew …
12 pax posted this morning for a warm(er) preview of summer humidity. The fog was thick, goggles would have been handy, but better yet, Windshield Wipers. All returned to the parking lot safe and sound. Conditions: 48 and Foggy The Thang: Disclaimer/Prayer Depart PLC parking lot, heading south toward downtown Lexington for 20 minutes. Turn …

9 PAX show up for YHC’s VQ at a running AO. I would have never imagined that I would ever Q a running AO, but it happened. Had a great route in mind that could keep us all somewhat together, no matter what level. 7-5-3 mile routes. Show up a little early if you wanted …
YHC pulled an oldie but a goodie from his workout bag of tricks. But much to my chagrin, 5 members of #TheHerd chewed up and spit out the “runner is the counter” workout with relative ease this AM. Conditions: YHC told the pax, “Boys, this is as warm as it’s gonna get today!” 55 with …

8 Pax forsake the comfort of their fartsacks to make the early journey to @F3Lex’s earliest AO, Turning Point. YHC heard tales of a certain QIC and a Pax who may or may not have a gate named after him making a road trip this morning. One has to wonder if they may have had …
YHC thought to check the Q schedule yesterday to see who was going to be dishing out the beat down at Crypt, and well it’s a good thing he checked because he had the Q. His last Q at Shawshank he introduced the 24-count bodybuilder, so he figured what better time to introduce it to …
Conditions: Beautiful, just like spring should be! 25 PAX did the harder thing and got out of the fartsack for some 1st and 2nd F. T-Claps to the more than dozen who came out even earlier for Stridelite (YHC not included). Good to see Babydaddy and Rubber Ducky out in the gloom again. The Thang: …
March 1, 2015 marks the One Year Anniversary of The Big Bang in Lexington. It remains the largest Big Bang in F3 History as 103 pax posted on 3/1/14 to open up what we now know as Graveyard. Here’s the backblast from that day: http://f3nation.com/2014/03/02/go-big-or-go-home-the-graveyard-is-born/ One year later, Lexington is its own region boasting 13 …
At 6:14 a.m., QIC receives a text from PYT. “You working out this morning? Can you Q for me? I’m sick.” Wheels immediately started spinning…..how many PAX would be there? Maybe the Race for Hunger would keep all a way……Oh no, Graveyard always brings a crowd. What should we do? QIC remembered PYT’s shoulder taunt …
As YHC removed the covers and got out of the fartsack…oh wait, that’s not right. No covers, and no fartsack this morning, just a very brief 15 minute nap in the parking lot, then a quick change of clothes, and then stumble out of his car into the brisk gloom to welcome 8 other pax …
9 pax work on their coordination and find out what a 24-count bodybuilder is…Read More »
The QIC really underestimated the pain and suffering his Q would bring this morning in the gloom. On paper, it didn’t seem nearly as bad as the pain it actually brought to the brave souls at Turning Point. There were many moans and groans during the relentless brick work. But everyone made it through and …

Conditions: A little cool and windy, but otherwise pleasant. Four PAX made it out to the snakepit for a cardio heavy Donatello Q. YHC would like to insert some witty comments about the Q, but I’m smoked. I’ve got nothing to say except the PAX put in some SOLID work this morning. BOM – Prayer …
Environmental readings: 36 degrees, 0 out of 10 UV index, darkish skies, a chill in the air due to the breeze in the sky (it was this point YHC decided shorts were a bad idea). 6 PAX gather in the Jumanji Jungle for the last workout of February 2015 with the goal of getter better. Its …
On the eve of LRAH, YHC wanted to take it easy on the Stride pax by avoiding the small mountains we’ll see tomorrow. It’s a challenge, though, finding a flat route in Lexington so YHC decided to go with a 20 min out, 20 min back route so the pax could go at whatever pre-race …

YHC was struttin the RUCK to complete the Pathfinder Challenger. I extended the RUCK invititation to the PAX that it was a RUCK …
Well, due to Quisenberry being “on the mend” the Kamikaze had to be postponed. What better substitute than a VQ that is STILL SMOKIN’. With a little nudging (it didn’t take much) from fellow pax, Cheech jumped up and took the lead! Though this seemed like a last minute decision, it was evident that the …
Conditions: 4 pax endured YHC’s first Q at Jumanji. There is a great bit of hard surface space at this AO, which was a good thing following the monsoon from last night. Cool and overcast in the mid 30’s. The Thang: Nice slow Mosey to the upper end of the parking lot. COP: SSH x30 …
3 eager pax post a bit earlier than normal so YHC can get in his last training run for the 10K race this weekend. It was a last minute call the night before and announced over the twittersphere to the Pax masses. The threat of icy conditioins may have kept some pax in the fartsack… …

Normally when YHC sees a weather forecast that consists of 100% chance of cold rain with continued suck on the evening news, the evening may consist of one extra TV program or Barley pop or just stay up a little later, as cold rain tends to strengthen the grip of the fartsack and make the …

(Written by and respectfully posted for Hanging Chad) YHC has only visited Turning Point a few times and always wondered by the pax always confined themselves to an elementary school campus when there’s a whole world to see. I get the pax at Shawshank need to be confined because of what they represent and that Graveyard …
When YHC initially signed up to Q this workout he hadn’t planned on being up all night long, nor had he planned on rucking 20 miles finishing merely an hour before the workout started. Both of those things happened, so that led to an epic double down opportunity (DD for Chin Strap as well). He …

When YHC HC’d to Q Crypt a few weeks back he had no clue what the weather forecast would be. Then again, history shows that the “professional weather men” had no clue either.

YHC was struggling to find motivation this morning with some slightly below ideal weather conditions.
