Transcending the Third Dimension

One crazy summer at this AO and the site leaders decide to end the season with a slow old man at the Q – more later.

44 men gathered for the first annual running of the Mt Charlotte race at #F3HorseyMcHorseArse.  Unfortunately, the founder of this wicked workout is still laid up with a bad back but T-claps to Horsehead for the idea.   F3 BRR teams will definitely be stronger as a result of training here.   This is what makes F3 great, men pushing other men to get stronger and faster.

The Thang:

Mosey down Old Bell to base of Blue Ridge for the start of the race.    Up Blue Ridge and take right at Mountain View, go around the circle to Wilby all the way around to Chester’s house and then left on Mountain View.  Two laps and then back to Old Bell to finish line (touch the Manhole just like Chester).  I hear FIshwrap won the race but a protest may be forthcoming based on some alleged trickery.  Mt Charlotte Champ with trophy

Remainder of the morning spent free play with suggested choices including the Full Yucca Succa Full Yucca Succa and Mt Charlotte route.

Stop at 6:08 for Pledge of Allegiance and than run back to start for COT.

Naked Sweaty Moleskin:

When Tiger Rag and Horsehead tapped me on the shoulder to Q this I thought – did Fishwrap let those two smoke some of his stuff?   An accountant that can’t write or run fast has to follow Shakespeare (Ice 9) and Edgar Allen Poe (FW) in writing a back-blast (the Q’s only real job at this AO).  I thought, WTF, why not – I haven’t hit 10,000 fails yet so this might count for at least 100 – and accepted.  I read FW’s BB from a few weeks ago and watched all 6 Rocky movies for inspiration.  Probably should have added Lone Survivor, Rambo, and McFarland while listening to Ozzy Osbourne.

Carrier shadowed me all morning.  Thanks for the push brother, made me work harder – #strongwardaddy.  That’s what this AO is about – guys at different running levels pushing each other to get better – #accelerating

As I was thinking about the prior back blasts and all the crazy stuff that comes into guy’s heads, I googled “Third Dimension” and came across this. Transcending the Third Dimension Pretty sure Horsehead was outside the 3rd dimension when he wrote http://f3nation.com/2016/07/18/streamofconciousness/  and remembered FW likely is always in another dimension after re-reading http://f3nation.com/2016/08/15/bawitdaba/ . Not sure about the rest of you but I felt like I was in another dimension running up the Full Yucca Succa at the end.

Horsehead was not able to make it but he texted me the following words of wisdom the night before – Remember to touch the Manhole like Chester, that’s where the segment starts.   Now I know why he didn’t show this morning.   Bad back my ass.

Prohibition has speculated that Fishwrap is AKA Chester since no one has seen the two at the AO at the same time.   No Chester sighting this morning so it may be true.   Of course, Margo left early “for school” but this was after staying late last week and having Chester follow him.   Maybe Chester and Margo had a date, hopefully just having Deer Carrion for breakfast.  If so, FW is off the hook.

Cheese curd wasn’t trying to recruit this morning so hoping that means his team is back to full strength.  I should make some sh$% up for fun but I gotta go match some debits and credits.

Cindy said the Metro JV team was coming this am – sad to hear he doesn’t even make JV now.

Finally, thanks to TR and HH for tapping me on the shoulder. It was an honor and privilege to “lead” this group this am.   Not saying much but it is making me faster and stronger to be out with this group.

Announcements:   Check website for Labor Day convergences and good luck to all the BRR teams.  Let’s smoke that b$(tch.

Thanks to Tiger Rag for the great take out.  Let’s all use the strength, endurance, and perseverance we get from F3 and go make an  #Impact.  Our community needs ALL of us.

Can’t believe there was no Chester sighting this morning. For the record, he stood me up as well.

He was there walking his dog. He actually wished us luck “on that mountain race.” Seems like a nice guy. That must be why Margo likes him so much.

It was fun seeing all the guys running in every direction. Teddy, Fire Hazard and myself were tardy so it took a while to figure out what the right direction was. Glad no one else knew either.

Solid lead Chelms and great AO find HH and TR.

I’m getting a little uncomfortable with all these Chester references. Maybe Chester is in jail and that is why there was no sighting?

Yeah, the dog walker guy came out of a house down the road from Chester. I’ve seen him the past couple of times, walking his dog and drinking his coffee. Seems nice enough.

I never have seen Chester, though. OK by me.

Think I was there. Maybe I can’t remember because Chester abducted me for a few minds and played tricks on my mind. Also, I created a new Strava segment that only accounts for the main loop. No reason to add the “stick” part of the lollipop each time, so next week I’ll only run the loop. Oh wait, there is no next week…

Pretty sure that was Chester dragging that dog around out there. I have seen him many times and he just stares as you pass.

Big thanks to Belly Itcher for now holding the CR to the yucca! Good work Chelms aka Tatertot, appreciate the lead this am.

That was my original thought a couple months ago, but the more and more I ran that course and saw Chester under his well placed spotlight, the old man with the dog is not Chester. Chester is a little younger and looks very much like someone else we run with…who wears a headlamp…and writes crazed backblasts. Just sayin.

Great 1st season of Horsey. I’m very glad it’s over. I think I only missed two episodes the entire time. Although this morning wouldn’t show it as I looked and felt like the 1st week due to my weekend activities. I think overall it will really help all of us when he hit the real hills in 11 days.
