Conditions: Pre-Hurricane, a few drops, and the breeze helped Tha Thang: 14 idiots gathered in the Target parking lot for a #blitzvergence to be forgotten. Most were present for last weeks IronPaxChallenge Week 0 workout. While it was bad, and caused a lasting soreness in the groinish area, it was not horrific. So, most returned. …

7 PAX from across the Iodine State fight the force of the fartsack at the SC Power Team 2018 Economic Development Review.

110 PAX did the harder thing and posted for the F3 Lex Annual New Year’s Convergence. What better way to start off the new year than a Convergence? It was cold, but we didn’t notice after a few minutes of F3 Goodness. This convergence was setup to ensure all PAX could get what they wanted. …

18 men between the 2 NE AOs gathered in a first actual quite brisk morning for the monthly NE convergence. Moaning and mumblechatter started almost immediately when many PAX soon found out that YHC had the Q. Sure to pack a punch and some already thought they had figured out some things that would have …
#DawnShed. #WoodStrike. Like a middle school girl with a crush, YHC has been doodling out hashtags mixing the two names all week. If you had the chance to Q both of your favorite AOs at once, wouldn’t you jump on it? When YHC heard Dawn Strike would be joining in the Woodshed convergence fun, he …

2014 was an amazing year for F3 in Lexington. We had the Big Bang on March 1 where 103 men posted to #getbetter that Saturday morning. Graveyard was born an instantly #problematic AO. From there, it seems a new AO was launched monthly. In August, Lexington became part of the newly formed F3LakeMurray Region with …
Born from the idea of adding a longer run to the #Amble route selection on a semi-regular basis is the Inaugural F3Columbia #Runvergence. On 11/26 (yes, the day before Thanksgiving), come out and run longer, run shorter, or walk, but come out and enjoy a group run prior to the big Turkey Day. The Thang: …
YHC had signed up for this Q months ago. This Q was special to him. Today’s Q was meant to honor the 239th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. YHC spent almost seven years in the Marine Corps and loved every second of suck that it through at him. So naturally to help celebrate …

These tasty party flavors came in squat, burpee, and flutter kick flavors with a delicious pain filling in the middle. Initially YHC had intended …
(Note: The picture above was selected before last Thursday’s game. Now it is to remind Carolina fans of happier times.) It’s a good thing that YHC double-checked the start time, getting there 30 minutes late would have been embarrassing, especially since it was a Depot and Speedtrap mini-convergence. The warning went out on twitter for …
89 Pax posted at #Crypt for a light-on-the-legs convergence. Some came because #Crypt is home, others because it was a Lexington Convergence, still others because it was the 1st half of a double-down w/ the inaugural Stomp the Swamp 5k immediately following. All were toast by the end of the hour. Conditions: 80 & 80% …
