The Great Carterican Thaw
What a relief this morning was! A steamy 38 degrees met the Pax this morning at WCHS for a little Dreadnought action. Carterico has experienced a historic freeze for the last 5 days and the thaw began yesterday afternoon. This event lifted the spirits of 11 motivated...
The Thaw Has Begun
As I stepped out of the house it was nice not to get punched in the chest by the cold, but was still glad I decided to keep the man tights. Was a little worried when I got to the entrance by the Stadium and the cones and barricades were still up, snuck around the...
Black Ice
Black Ice is one of those things ya hear about in freezing weather. We are told of dangers that come a long with it, yet still often ignore it as something that "won't ever happen to me." Men inevitably will go through different "winter" seasons in their lives. This...
Welcome to the Mosey Mile
It was a balmy 18 degrees when YHC arrived at Fort Benjamin Park in the suburbs of Newport a little early to scope out the course condition to ensure that ice wouldn't endanger the safety of the Pax. The area where YHC had planned to stage a little Balls to the Wall...
Tablesetter before the big thaw
With today being YHC's 1 year anniversary in F3, I was glad to be able to Q the Tablesetter for the first time. After surveying all surrounding streets last night, it looked like Shepard and Evans would still be our best bet despite having some patchy spots...
The Power of the PAX
Due to the nature of the usual AO on Emerald Isle being way too icy still to run on, YHC called an audible and took The Green Mile to Croatan HS for a 1.1 mile, fairly safe loop to run with the PAX. With Shovel Flags being propped up beside trucks and the last layers...
New Years Icecapades
YHC was anxious about leading the Pax on this frigid Carterico morning. Lassie had informed me earlier in the week that I had the keys to Q the Hero and I was a bit hesitant. I must say, I’m a bit intimidated by leading my brothers in the Central/Morehead Carterico...
BFT BOMB CYCLONE
Tough driving conditions led to adjustments for the BFT Pax. Originally planning to make the trek across the bridge to join the rest of Carterico, we decided to stay closer to home and avoid the roads before daybreak. Moment of silence for our fallen snow-FNG....
Modified Stampede in 17 degrees
On Thursday afternoon YHC had to make a call on what to do for the Stampede. Would it be on? Would OMAHA be called? After seeking some opinions of others, the wise advise of others being taken. Omaha was called. YHC needed another option to sharpen iron since letting...
Frozen Royal Rumble
It was 17 degrees this morning with ice and snow on the roads. A small group gathered to show mother nature they were too badass to stay home. Mission statement was delivered along with an ice warning and we slowly moseyed over to the first intersection for a...
Training not Working Out
A couple of weeks back while on Slack someone posted something about do you workout or are you training. I do not remember all of it but the may thing I took from it was what we do at F3 is train men. We train men physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually...
THE DECISION
YHC wasn't exactly sure what to expect with a forecast of cold and snow. The travel would be tough and the weather tougher, so decisions had to be made by the men of F3. The first to roll in from the Hwy 24 corridor was Buckeye. We remembered how cold Monday was with...
Lunch Box Surfing
Due to road conditions this morning, we utilized a soft start and soft stop. Warmarama: close to the school building to avoid the wind, side straddle hops x 20, 5 burpees, 10 cotton pickers, 5 burpees. Mosey to the track for... The Thang: burpee mile, at each...
Beaufort Hole-In-None Back Blast
YHC was not planning on being the Q, but that is what happened after someone cut Duck Butter's balls off, and then Dipper stopped taking my calls, and MyTSharp was forced to flee the state again. It was 19 degrees, not quite as windy as the day before, but still...
A ruck in the woods
YHC was glad to see that it was a full 4 degrees warmer this morning than it was at the boondocks yesterday. With the right gear it didn’t seem that bad today, as long as you were out of the wind. So, the plan was to get in the woods. 5 of us were ready to roll at...
