It was a beautiful morning. 47 degrees, a bit damp…a good day for F3. I just returned from NYC and was slightly unprepared… though it didn’t stop me. 23 PAX were waiting for me with my on-time arrival with a minute to spare. Banjo was not so lucky…yes, you guessed it, penalty burpies for Banjo’s “not-so” on-time arrival.

It’s been a little too long since my last Q so I need to get myself back in the rotation. 16 strong at FMJ this morning to help get things fired up again. Temps are trending cooler so the plan was to keep everyone moving as much as possible. Things went pretty smoothly until COT when YHC realized readers are needed in order for me to see the Voice Memo app icon on my phone, because I can’t remember 16 names on my own. [Read More]

Today the brute squad assembled early in the fields of Florin to enjoy a workout that would include Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles. However the pax wasn’t impressed and responded. “Doesn’t sound too bad.

A quick warm-up lap around the parking lot and then circle up to meet the characters [Read More]
