The troops gathered late at Slippery when wet – but gather quickly they did. We had a visitor from the Mother ship today – Cheese Turd (or perhaps it was Curd) who made the mistake of following Nature Boy into the park after seeing the F3 sticker on his car – I think it in involved three U-Turns before the got to the right place. Once we were together, we circled around the parking lot and then into the back grass field for some warm up.

Everyone needs a little encouragement!

So I found out on Monday that 9/12 was National Day of Encouragement and that Chinese Downhill needing to switch so I had the Q! Must be God’s providence. Woke up to rain so plans changed a little. 8 guys started out and we headed up the Cary Parkway hill to the covered parking. Now for a little encouragement! My favorite verse on exhortation is Hebrews 3:13. “But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. [Read More]

After a GroupMe fartsack shaming on Tuesday - the day after the 9/11 stair climbs and only a couple of days removed from the BRR - when only a handful of CarPEX PAX posted, the boys showed up in force; from the looks of it, pert’neer 40 of them. We’ll count-a-rama later. After a round of fist bumps and a doo-rag tying lesson, it was time to roll. Let’s go! [Read More]

I Believe In Me

YHC knew that after last Friday’s inauguration of V-AO #SLIPPERYWHENWET, complete with breakfast buffet, espresso-wielding baristas, and custom-initialed bathrobes for all attendees, the expectations of the PAX would be high. Like sky-high. Like towering moonshot, fly-ball-to-the-warning-track high. And I’ll be honest, YHC was nervous to be the Q shouldering this burden. Had a little self-doubt. A little lack of self-belief. But then YHC remembered the wise words that may or may not have been famously uttered by Mr. [Read More]

A few weeks ago, YHC was ego-surfing the now nearly impossible to find F3Nation.com backblasts when I came across this beauty from Burt. I quickly jumped on the Q-sheet and found to my giddy surprise that the 9/9 slot at Phoenix was still open. With a mix of trepidation (‘how am I going to fill up 60 minutes?’) and pride (‘definitely did not imagine I would still be getting up at 5 o’clock a year later’) I signed up to Q. [Read More]

19 PAX showed up for the inauguration of SWW on 09/01/2017. Must have been the promise of some good ol’ Midwestern casserole that brought them in. But it was the surprise bagels and lox that really won them all over. As an added bonus SWW lived up to its name (I knew it would) with a very tolerable occasional sprinkling of rain. Here’s how the morning went: Jog to shelter parking lot (farthest lot from houses) for warm ups: -Good mornings -Side Straddle Hops -Hello Dollys -Flutter Kicks (Low Slow Flutters) -Freddie Mercurys -Homer to Marges -Std Americans – I mean Merkins [Read More]
