  • GNARLY NUTRIA #7 – from Reluctant Yankee

    Well …I found the results from the Gnarly Nutria and I thought it would be a shame to not have the results written for posterity. Sandbar was the q BUT Abandoned ship so he could do something with the family out of town. As always that was the RIGHT decision. I arrived from a 520 mile hike across Spain on Monday 7/18. I posted for my first F3 beatdown post hike in the AM. That evening I decided not to run bc I wasn’t ready yet. I watched on the sidelines with injured Wax on, Wax off. Wax on was kind enough to pick up the beer from Brown Bag which he was kind enough to DONATE! There were at least 4 beers per runner. 2022 WAS the worst attended Gnarly – I mostly blame myself since I was out of town. Then I blame everyone else except Brown Bag because he posted and DONATED the beer. You the man Brown Bag!

    Ok results:
    #1 Beiber- upt , #2 Gump – upt, #3 Couch – upt, #4 El Guapo – Wrd, #5 Tinkles – upt

    COT
    -Author BJ Fogg (Tiny Habits) says we can transform ourselves via the formation and deconstruction of good and bad habits in our lives. I heard an interview with him where he says the most powerful habit anyone can pick up is to simply say the phrase “It’s going to be a great day” upon waking up each morning. I’m going to try it and encourage the HIMs of F3 to do so as well.
