Doracide

16 made it out to the Rubicon to experience Doracide with their brothers. The weather this month has been rinse and repeat. When it feels like a steam bath at 5:30 a.m. you know the Georgia summer is in full effect. Warm up Mosey over to the top parking lot: …

11s and a Merkin Mile

9 pax were ready to start Saturday right, and it was a hot and humid morning. Great having Swiper back from his trip to the Caribbean. We are all glad he didn’t get lost in the Bermuda Triangle like Darth Visor. Speaking of DV, he has promised an appearance on …

No records broken

It’s taken me over 12 hours to write the back blast due to a busy day and a small level of disappointment that we only got 1/5th of the PAX that were set to show per the preblast. All i want is to outnumber the swimmers. If high schoolers (and …

Taste of Alpharetta

13 made it out to the first ever F3 Taste of Alpharetta. It was another typical June morning at the Rubicon, hot and muggy. As promised there were no long lines but no one BYOB but we did do a few BOYO. The Pax started with a warm up Indian …

That has to be a Record

Look at that PAX list of who will be there! Just as people have given up on Grits and Darth Visor, they return. D’Berry and Performance Eval realized more time was spent on discussing their names than actual post time so they came out again. Simba and Sunshine realize what …

Visible Humidity

It was so humid you could see the moisture in the air, but 9 pax showed up to get stronger. YHC loves driving to the AO with the windshield wipers on even though it’s not raining. Big South brought somewhat of an FNG (he went in Columbia once but forgot …

Cruelty to an FNG

Five tough PAX showed up this morning for a beatdown, which included one tough but late FNG. The PAX wasn’t sure if this FNG was at the Rubicon for us until he tentatively called out “F3?” YES! He was welcomed and properly warned on the importance of arriving on time …

Swampy Stroll

It was warm, it was muggy, it was 4.5 miles at an 8:43 pace. Route and details:  https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1196878641 From downtown, south down Haynes Bridge. The 3 of us got a little nervous as 3 people are on the sidewalk randomly in the dark as we approach.  PAX get off sidewalk …

Back to the Basics

The humidity is here, and it’s safe to say it isn’t going anywhere for a while. 12 Pax posted including 2 FNGs (Carpetbagger and Geordi) and 2 visitors (Tater Tot from Durham and Barker from Jacksonville). Major t-claps to Barker who is recovering from a torn Achilles. First beatdown back …
