F3 New Orleans

  • LVRC – Does it count?

    An F3 PAX of 3 met the Lakeview Running Club outside of The Basin.  The LVRC meets every Thursday for a 3 mile run followed by drinks and hanging out.  Participation was slim due to ominous weather, but no one got wet.   Women, children and pets are invited to run, but the bar only allows those 21 and older inside.   I want to thank Hawg, LOHL, and his offspring as well as Amnesty and Puddles for finally joining my weekly announcement.

    The Thang…

    Glowing arm bands were distributed for safety.  Two LVRC members shot out at a 7:30 pace.  Amnesty and YHC finished with a sub 9:45 pace.  The Hawg family wrapped up around 16 min/mi, but most impressively, Shoat Cycle finished the entire route with Sow Cycle & Hawg, tclaps!  The route goes E on Harrison, N on Canal, W on Robert E Lee, and S on West End back to The Basin.

    Everyone who finished were treated to FREE Jambalaya Girl provided by Jambalaya Girl & The Basin. Since this was more of an F2 function, no count, name-o-rama, or prayer was done.

  • 610 Stomp #74, Resolutions & Regrets

    Not sure about you guys, but YHC just loves running in those 75 degree Januarys that Louisiana is so accustomed to.   A PAX of 8 (including a K9) met and shortly after polite greetings a disclaimer was given.

    The Thang…

    Traditional Route accompanied by Merkins up to your New Year’s Resolution.

    Amnesty – 200

    Cowbell – 170

    Da Parish – 125

    Hawg – 210

    Kim Chi – 180

    Shorty – 200

    Tool – 160

     

    The entire PAX started Merkins right away; and after getting a fair number in, the run began. A PAX of 3 came out the gate hard and, if my memory serves correct, completed 5 miles.  The rest of us completed a respectable 3 mile run.  However 1 unfortunate PAX returned to Graceland as he had to Elvis.

    Announcements include…

    • You can rest your knees w/ a Tuesday Ride at The Coastie aka Broke Bike Mountain
    • Amnesty is Q at Water World, a Thursday Swim AO at UNO Pool. I believe there’s some synchronized swimming involved.
