The strong numbers continue as the weather warms up. YHC knew of several pax who were unable to post due to various family commitments preventing them from doing and I was unsure of how many pax would post this weekend. This is the main reason we have postponed F3 Dads. My weinkie was prepared for low numbers and also for higher numbers as well. I was excited that when the clock struck 0700 we had 8 guys because this triggered me to be able to do F3 Ultimate Frisbee which I’ve been wanting to do for a while. So a few exercises got immediately cut once we began.  

AirWolf was in town from Hampton Roads, Virginia for a wedding and we pleased to welcome him. YHC is familiar with F3 Hampton Roads because of Priorities in Monterey came from Virginia. Dreamliner and the pax in Virginia seem to be a group of HIMs. (High Impact Men for those who don’t know the acronym) AirWolf originally hails from nearby Loomis so we hope to see him again in the future though it might be a while as the Air Force takes him to Japan in the near future. Will we see a flag planted in the Land of the Rising Sun? YHC is excited we’ve had a few pax join us while DR, guys are checking the map on the Nation’s site and finding our Mustard Seed.

Ponch brought out his drone this weekend and captured some aerial footage as a test run. We also used the drone to take our post workout photo from above. It’s a tad more high tech than leaning a cell phone against a water bottle on the ground. Hopefully we can get more drone video in the near future possibly to be used as marketing material.

Announcements:

  • Ponch has the Q next Saturday.
  • Sign up to Q or Co-Q with someone. F3 is stronger when many pax step up and lead.
  • F3 Dads has been postponed. Future date will be announced soon.
  • Sunday update: Ponch sends me a text in church that he had just EH’d a guy in the lobby. That’s what “Give it Away” is all about, talking to a local guy? Bring it up casually and invite him.
  • YHC believes that most pax are on our Band group. Be sure to let another pax know and he can send you the invite if you are not on there yet.
  • F3 will be expanding in San Jose this summer! Start EH’ing guys in the area. The AO will be at Santa Teresa High School

AO: Lincoln Hills Golf Club Parking Lot

Pax: Hobo, Rabbit, Ponch, Captain, Sparky, Fizz Stick, FNG Hydro, FNG Jacapo

This week’s smokefest was moved to the nearby city of Lincoln due to 5 pax running in the Lincoln PACE Race 5K & 10K. We had just finished the warm up and a guy innocently walks up and we invite him to join us. Turns out it was FNG Hydro who had signed up for the race on our team. I wish I could retell his EH story it is pretty amazing. Think along the lines of hearing about Ferris Bueller’s sickness…”My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with this girl…” He jumped right in and we are glad he did.

NAKED MAN MOLESKIN

What a great Saturday. 9 pax total with 2 more FNGs which makes 4 weeks in a row now. For those keeping score at home that is 6 FNGs in the past month! Keep giving it away and let’s grow this thing. Fizz Stick and FNG Jacopo showed up in a fancy clown car. Fizz Stick’s wife had just earned a new certain car of German engineering. He also came bearing actual fizz sticks for the pax.

Race report: 5 of our pax ran the Lincoln PACE race. Ponch, Rabbit, Hobo and ’88 ran the 10k and Hydro ran the 5k. All in all a great representation of F3 Rocklin in the race. Ponch and Rabbit both placed in their age divisions like they did at the Run Rocklin event in April. Great job guys!

Announcements:

  • F3 Dads has been postponed so we can get more pax available to participate. Stay tuned for a new date.
  • Ponch has the Q for 5/18

After a 12 week stretch of no FNG’s, and not for lack of trying by the pax…FNG ConAir posted after YHC applied the EH via his M who YHC met at our 2.0’s school. Glad he posted with us. Bada Bing was with us as well from F3 San Francisco Peninsula, he gave us an update on the happenings in the Bay. Always looking for pax to Q workouts. If you are thinking about it and telling yourself you aren’t ready…take the leap. F3 is about developing leadership skills as well as getting fit. Leading a workout furthers this in you.

String of Pearls

3/2/2019
QIC: ’88
Weather conditions: 50º and heavy rain.

YHC wanted to take it back to basics with a textbook string of pearls. Exercise, mosey, rinse and repeat using various elements of pain. YHC did my best to mix up the exercises to hit different parts of the body. The rain gave us a light ruck feel as all were completely rain soaked fairly early in the workout.

Here we go…

5 pax again in the downpour. Ponch was on 2.0 duty while his M is down range for the weekend. Cheers to his efforts on the home front. The rain was no bother other than when it came time to get back into your car. YHC wrung out my outer layers and quite a bit of H2O was returned to the earth. Mud Gear pre order is live, you have until March 8 to get your order in. Run Rocklin Run is coming up in early April and Lincoln Pace Race is beyond that in May.
