Lionel Ritchie Will Not Win

Star Date: Aug 1, 2018 QIC: Frisco PAX: Frisco Welcome to Sin City where hotel rooms are adorned with life-sized pictures of scantily clad women and wall paper that looks like it was from a 1950’s pin up calendar. Luckily the 2.0 still accepts answers like “well she’s wearing that bear skin rug because she’s cold”. So much for the upgraded room—means different things in different parts of the country, I guess.

Thank You For Your Leadership

Posted on August 2, 2018 | 3 minutes | 522 words |

Sometimes jokes get out of hand. Like the way we all say “Thank you for your leadership” whether we’re being sincere or being silly. It was all grins and giggles until Hello Kitty announced that he was going to be on the radio taking part in a serious discussion about school choice in this great state of ours. Shut-in just had to say it. “If you fit in a TYFYL I’ll give you 100 burpees. [Read More]

Maybe Hi-liter thinks it is at 5:45? Maybe he is late? He has been here for a 5:30 start. Humm, I guess we will stay close in case he is late. Hi-liter leads a lot so when his alarm didn’t go off and he was a no-show for FWD I was happy to step up and exercise my Site Q duty to lead the Q. Warm Up - Run and circle up by the park back to the flag for for SSH, GM, Merkins, Hill Billies, PJ, MC [Read More]

Today is my 1-Year F3 Anniversary!!!! First post was a year ago today at Flirtin’ with Disaster. Funny story about that…… Blue Water EH’d me, but due to a mix-up, I posted in Carpex and he posted in South Wake. Joe Smith was was the Q that morning. It was his VQ, and I learned who “Dora” is, and how to get to the “Bridge of Pain.” Sosa and I were both named after COT. [Read More]

Traffic Diversion at Rush Hour

Posted on August 1, 2018 | 3 minutes | 581 words |

Seeing a rare Q-spot opening for Rush Hour, YHC grabbed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and immediately started preparing for little something different for the good folks of DTC. Of course, with only a handful of Rush Hour experiences under my belt, “something different” might not have been all that different but I was going to try! But first… Tiberius needs a ride. I’m in. A text message (3:31PM), a Slack message (4:06PM) and a phone call (4:12PM) later I’m really confirmed. [Read More]

After traveling throughout the greater Cary/Apex metropolitan region for much of July, it was good to get back to some home turf and get 10 more minutes of sleep. Apparently Hi-Liter got 10 more minutes of sleep as well. One year ago, Parker dragged me out before daybreak to FOD and I haven’t looked back. So it was time to bring the original Bogo shoes out of retirement for the 1-year Bogoversary. [Read More]

Pre-Blast 13 lean mean running machines convened at Kryptonite for a sweatier-then-normal high tempo jaunt through the darker-every-day gloom that enveloped CarPex’s exclusive AO designed to push even the most elite athletes to grow stronger by challenging themselves and one another to go further and faster than they ever have or thought they could because they had inadvertently placed self-imposed limits that God wants for them to break. The Warmup [Read More]

I must admit, I had several doubts about this morning. I returned from the other side of the world only a few days ago and am just now getting my circadian rhythm back to Eastern Daylight Time. My sleep has been off, and I haven’t been as energetic as usual. To top that off, in true F3 fashion, I did the F3 ENC CSAUP “The Sasquatch” in Greenville, NC on Saturday. [Read More]
