Who doesn’t love a trip to the beach? When we heard that A1A was taking the lead, there was some discussion that the day’s workout might include:
Rollin’ in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, Waving just to say, “Hi!”
Did you stop? No – I just drove by.
Alas, as 21 men gathered around the shovel flag in Irmo for their regular, Saturday morning trip around Seven Oaks Park, we were quickly shown that was not in the cards. The QIC made quite sure it was no day of leisure. A1A was there to bring the pax a Beachfront Beatdown.

Great job at Q by A1A. With all the work going on around Seven Oaks Park, he still did a great job of mixing things up and keeping the pax guessing. T-claps to you, sir.
Major Pain is henceforth and forevermore banned from leading during dealer’s choice after his 50 overhead claps in cadence (per the QIC). T-claps to anybody that got them done without a break after that workout.
Announcements
The Pre-Holiday Fuel Challenge has begun. Here is the pre-blast. A lot of F3Columbia is in on this challenge. It’s not too late to start.
3rd F Friday at Noon at the Lizard’s Thicket on St Andrews. We are reading through and discussing the Book of James together. All are welcome. There are plenty of Fuel Challenge friendly items on the menu.
Don’t forget the Swagger workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Even if your running isn’t where you want it, come join the pax. All fitness levels are welcome and encouraged, particularly on Wednesday and Friday, as the courses are out and back. Walking / jogging will soon turn into running the entire workout. Swagger pulls out of the parking lot at Blockbuster Video on St. Andrews Road at 5:30am. Hope to see you there!
Plan to attend (and bring an EH’d friend to) the Birthday convergence on October 26th at Finlay Park. It’ll be huge. T-shirts have arrived for those who’ve ordered them so plan to gear up for the big one year anniversary event.
