Mosey back with your cinderblock to the flag and plank up till the PAX assemble

Circle up for the Name-O-Rama and Hardwood brought a strong word of prayer!

Moleskin:

The Pre-Workout 4.5 miler turned out to be just right! Great work by Zip/HH/EE and Bike patrol Boon Dock (2.0) who rode the SAG bike with head light to lead the way.   Half way through the run, we had to cross over a small bridge where Boon did not feel comfortable going over a tight double board bridge over a small creek bed and said “Ummm, Dad, I might need a little help here” HH Reply “Ahhh you are OK” I have to say BD makes it to the end, but hits a bump at the end of the bridge, goes to put his foot down to… NOTHING BUT AIR.. and continues to, and I need to point out very gracefully, plunge to the ground. The recovery was amazing though, Quick up brushes off scratches and back on the bike he goes. HH seems to overhear Zip trying to buy an O2 break from the run by offering BD an unspecified financial incentive to wipeout… Zip? Nothing a Cinnamon Bun at McD’s could not cure though. Great job BD!

King of the Hill and Cinder-Ella Island pushed the PAX to suck some serious O2 but all performed Great!

One comment from Spielberg about “The Greatest American Hero” having Bad Acting? Really? That was one of the greatest shows of all time #debatable. I guess with a name like Spielberg, you tend to be a little more critical. However, the rendition of the opening song performed by the PAX was spot on. Watch out broadway!

That was a good workout, even though I had to beg permission to stay for the part after pre-run. After the kid fell in the ditch on his bike and I hauled cinder blocks a country mile when we relocated) you omitted that fact in the BB) I thought my next post was going to be in the doghouse (not a scheduled workout name). However, both myself and Boondock emerged relatively unscathed from the outing and he was off to 9am swim practice being the only one there who had already completed a 5 mile bike ride and hour long bootcamp beforehand.

Good to have E Slide, Udder, Grafitti, and Hardwood all posting together #F3Family

BB title photo is creeping me out. #giantbrillcremehead

Great beatdown guys and what an awesome turnout! Kotters all around Saturday!

Summer brings vacations but hopefully we can still keep some good momentum over the next few months.

I will agree that Double E’s Photoshop skills are concerning. First with Late Show and the tribal beads and now Spielberg as Greatest American Hero.

These are the things nightmares are made of.

Aye!

Horse I thought you were supposed to be on IR. 🙂

I was hiking my butt off playing disc golf in Hickory. Normally I don’t skip F3 for disc golf, but this was a special case as I never get up that way.
