The family & I got home around 8:30 Friday night following a birthday party for Goose’s daughter, which meant it was about 9:30 until the 2.0s were asleep. Although I had an idea of what I wanted to do for the WO the next day I hadn’t prepared anything & honestly I didn’t really want to. Nonetheless…I went down to the basement, cut up some cardboard to make signs for the planned stations, & got the cones/lights ready. Before going to bed I looked at the forecast, which was calling for temps around 40 degrees, but with the rain clearing out. When I woke up Saturday morning I could hear a steady flow of rain…F*~€! Knowing what I had planned I knew, even more, I didn’t want to do it in the rain so immediately thought of what audible I could call that would be a good WO, but also be done under the shelter at The Posh 🤔 when it came to me 💡. I recalled last year when Digiorno had posted at The Fort in South Carolina & brought back an awesomely terrible idea that made its debut across the F3Louisville Region on 7.17.18…the Board of Pain (BoP). I went out to the garage, got a piece of cardboard (plenty in stock after moving), & carved up a BoP. Here’s how things went down…
PAX
1. Huggies
2. Wapner
3. Retainer
4. Gypsy
5. Little Jerry (R)
6. Whitney (R)
7. Sweet Tart
8. Jitterbug (R)
9. Double Down (R)
10. Mr. Kotter
11. Methane 💨
12. Catfish
13. Nino (QIC)
Given the rain, we met under the shelter to start. I gave the disclaimer to the group emphasizing this WO was going to be 100% “you vs you” so although I wanted each PAX to push themselves they needed to listen to their body & modify if or when needed. With that, we kicked of CoP.
CoP
- Kendra Newman’s
- (15) Grass Grabbers IC
- (15) Abe Vigoda’s IC
- Some stretching
THE THANG: BOARD OF PAIN
At this point, I flipped over this piece of cardboard revealing what awaited.
I walked through the board explaining each exercise on the board. Upon completion of the numbers of reps correlating with each exercise, the PAX were to run 2 laps around the shelter (roughly 50 yards) before moving onto the next exercise. We did this up until 0755 listening to some music along the way…a little Christmas & a little of my WO mix. At 0755 I advised all the PAX to stop whichever exercise they were doing & get their six for some Mary.

- Intentions
As we circled up I thanked the PAX for coming out on my birthday, especially given the weather conditions. I shared my initial not wanting to post when I awoke, but how thankful I was after doing so.
Sorry for the delayed BackBlast…the rest of the day & this week have been busier than a “2 dick dog” in the words of Diablo.
