Time to get some cardio and core in before we head into the Derby / Labor Day weekend. That sounds weird and kinda awesome. We will make the most of the Derby weekend and we will make the most of our time together at the Agony Thursday morning at 0530. We will run and weContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Thursday 09-03-2020 – The Agony @ The County”

It was fantastic to be back out at North County (aka Pleasantville) this morning.  It was clear, cool, light breeze, and zero humidity…kinda. It was cool to see a sort of random crew of PAX this morning with some PV / County regulars mixed in with Mud Bug (first post-Covid post!), Timeshare (downrange from ChapelContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Friday 08/28/2020 – Tour of Pleasantville”

I miss Pleasantville. It has been way too long since I have posted at Wisteria and even longer since I have Q’ed. So, I am planning to move us around quite a bit and take advantage of a number of the wonders of PV. High-tempo, full-body workout. No coupons, wear gloves. Syitg.

I heard the Friday Black Ops at The Garden is the hottest thing going in F3 Louisville (or at least I read that in my pre-blast). The Garden boys did not disappoint. After Pelican drew record numbers last week, I really did not know what to expect this morning but as I arrived it wasContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast 08/14/2020 – Burpee 11s @ The Garden Friday Black Ops”

The Garden Friday Black Ops might be the hottest thing going right now in F3 Louisville.  Growing numbers, beastmode workouts, all around great energy. Rumor has it that Jewel even overheard talk of absorbing it into the Greater County Area. Whether you are a Garden regular or just Garden-curious, get out and see what the buzzContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Friday 08/14/2020 – The Garden Friday BO”

Holy crap it was hot and humid this morning.  Props to the 8 PAX who joined me at North Posh, particularly since the pre-blast was clear that we would be running hills.  I got to South County pretty early, but Stormtropper was already there. It has been a while since I had seen Trooper ITGContinueContinue reading “Back Blast Monday 07/20/2020- North Posh Countdowns #beastmode”

If you were not able to make it to  Convergence on Saturday, get out to North Posh on Monday 0530 for a little taste of what you missed. If you were at Convergence, I know your pumped for a variation on my station Q from Saturday. No coupons needed. We gonna run some hills and workContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Monday 07/20/2020- North Posh Countdowns”

PAX: Focker, Holy Roller (R), Cochran, Le Pew, Backflop, WILDFlower, Geppetto, Dauber (Q) The weather was perfect (low 60s, no humidity) as the PAX arrived and gathered in eager, almost giddy anticipation for their Boondocks tour.  I collected tour tickets, gave disclaimer (confirmed by PAX) with an extra reminder on keeping our distance, and we setContinueContinue reading “Back Blast Tuesday 07/14/2020 – Tour of the Boondocks”

If you have never been to The Boondocks or it has been a while, tomorrow is a great opportunity to experience the greatness that is The Boondocks. We will tour around the park, stopping at all the historic landmarks for a fast-paced, full body workout.  No coupons. Wear gloves. Come get it.  SYITG.

As you might remember from my pre-blast, this was my first…oh forget it…it was clear during COP that none of these otherwise exceptional PAX in attendance had read the pre-blast. Back to that in a moment.  Let me restart from the top…10 PAX in total arrived and circled around the Vets seal where the disclaimer was given, includingContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Friday 07/10/2020 – Dauber at The Chopper”

It has been a while since I posted at Vets and this is actually my first Q there, so I am pretty pumped up to bring “Dauber to the Chopper” on Friday 0530.  I’ll be bringing with me a fast-paced, high-tempo, full-body beatdown.  Heart rate will be elevated and we will likely mix in aContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Friday 07/10/2020 – Dauber at The Chopper”

PAX: Hush Puppy, Pelican, Dauber, Meter Maid, Focker, Crachit, Crockpot, Overflow (VQ) At 5am hush puppy gave me a nice greeting with a “what’s up overflow?” We then proceed to head off Beulah church road to the Snyder freeway over to the county. We got there and we were the 2nd one in attendance, IContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Wednesday 07/08/2020 The Foundry – Overflow’s Rocky-inspired VQ @ The County”

This morning at The Station was unexpectedly awesome. Flat…Out…Awesome. The weather was perfect (around 60 degrees and no humidity). I had a solid workout planned and even printed out a few signs to keep the PAX organized.  I was planning on taunting Pelican quite a bit throughout the workout, expecting a smallish group based onContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Thursday 06/18/2020 – Four Corners in The Inferno @ The Station”

The Station is one of the newer AOs in F3 Louisville, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. If you have not been to The Station before or if it has been a while, come out on Thursday 0530. We will do some exercises that I like and mix in some exercises that PelicanContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Thursday 06/18/2020 – The Inferno @ The Station”

Get out to The County Saturday at 0700 to celebrate Captain Crunchberry and Dauber’s one year Postiversary.  We are pumped up for this Co-Q and have been working on it tirelessly to ensure it runs smoothly…or is a complete debacle.  Either way, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to get better while we take a walkContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Saturday 06/13/2020 The Nest @ The County – Captain Crunchberry and Dauber Postiversary”

Man…I needed that!  It has been a crazy week to say the least, and the onslaught of Coronavirus news over the last 24 hours has been dizzying.  As the PAX gathered at The Garden this morning, the mumblechatter was strong and I went off script as the clock struck 0530.  Before the disclaimer, the PAX indulgedContinueContinue reading “Back Blast 03/12/2020 – Countdowns at Cloverfield @ The Garden  “

I am pumped up for my first Garden Q on Thursday at 0530. We will travel around The Garden grounds quite a bit. Rumor has it that there are hills, and there will be some elementary level math. The workout will be balanced with some upper body, some legs, some core, some running, some otherContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Thursday 03/12/2020- Countdowns at Cloverfield @ The Garden”

Since joining F3, I have heard the advice often that if there is an exercise you don’t like…do it…it will make you better.  I believe this is great advice.  However, I ignored it completely this morning as my guilty pleasures workout was chocked full of my favorite exercises.  We worked hard throughout but no one wasContinueContinue reading “Back Blast 02/15/2020- Coach Dauber’s “Guilty Pleasures” Ladder Beatdown in The Nest @ The County”

Get out to The County on Saturday 0700 to partake in Coach Dauber’s “Guilty Pleasures” beatdown.  It will be a high-tempo, full body workout as we knock out some of my favorite exercises. Any running will be short distances only as we will stay in constant earshot of the speaker to enjoy my guilty pleasures playlist.ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Saturday 02/15/2020 – Coach Dauber’s “Guilty Pleasures” Beatdown in The Nest @ The County”

PAX: Abacus, Le Pew, Brown Water, Potter, Whitney (R), Hamm, Bob Ross, Gump, Dunphy, Tammy Faye Baker, Gringo, DauberNot sure this really constitutes a back-blast, but wanted to share some of my thoughts on the LLH Trail race…Before starting F3 last summer, I had never run further than 5 miles.  Louisville Lovin’ the Hills wasContinueContinue reading “Dauber’s thoughts on Louisville Lovin’ the Hills Trail Race @ Jefferson Memorial Forest (Saturday 02/08/2020)”

It’s official!!  It’s official!! As Nino announced last week, Peggy Baker Park Black Ops is no more. This Tuesday at 0530 marks the official start of the Planetarium workout at The Boondocks.  There is only one thing better than working out in the gloom, under the bright stars at The Boondocks…and that’s Qing it.  I have the reigns onContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Tuesday 02/04/2020 – Inaugural Planetarium workout @ The Boondocks”

I ain’t gonna lie…it was really cold this morning.  Temperature was 17 degrees when we convened at North Posh, with windchill at 7 degrees.  A light snow was beginning to fall.  Given the weather, I promised the PAX we would warm up quickly and keep moving throughout the workout.  I think there were grunts ofContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Monday 01/20/2020 – North Posh Hub & Spoke with Coach Dauber”

Am I licking my wounds from the loss Naperville dropped on us last week?  Yep. Am I pumped up by the awesome numbers posted throughout F3 Louisville though?  You bet. Do I now have an unhealthy dislike for the Greater Chicago-land area? Nah…just respect. Let’s keep the great momentum going from last week and post big numbersContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Monday 01/20/2020 – North Posh Hub & Spoke”

For The Foundry workout this morning we set out to give the PAX a full body workout that was both challenging and variable. With that goal in mind, Fructose and I put in several months of planning over the last three days and came up with the Foundry Roulette concept. Lucky for us the roulette wheel was expandable (notContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Wednesday 01/15/2020 – Foundry Roulette with Fructose & Dauber @ The County”

Beat Naperville!!  That should be enough, but if you need another reason to get out to The County at 0530 on Wednesday morning…you do not want to miss taking a few trips around the Foundry Roulette Wheel with Fructose and Dauber. We will work legs, arms and core. I guarantee your number will hit, and youContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Wednesday 01/15/2020 – Foundry Roulette with Fructose & Dauber @ The County”

While it was not quite sunny and 75 degrees as promised in the pre-blast, it was an unseasonably warm mid-50s and the expected rain never hit.  The weather was literally perfect…you can try to convince me that there is not a magical bubble around Pleasantville, but it will be a futile attempt.  I am notContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Friday 01/10/20 – Pleasantville Ring of Lights Elevens with Coach Dauber”

It’s always sunny and 75 degrees in Pleasantville. Don’t check your weather app or overthink it. Just get out to Wisteria at 0530 on Friday morning and see for yourself. We will take a stroll around the ring of lights and cherish each stop along the way.  There will be a veritable cornucopia of opportunities toContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Friday 01/10/20 – Pleasantville Ring of Lights”

As I called out in the Pre-Blast, the Long Run BO crew have been building some great momentum and steadily increasing numbers at the Monday / Wednesday / Friday workouts.  The secret is starting to get out, but one milestone Mr. Hat has been pushing for is a double-digits PAX showing.  Well…on the first MondayContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Monday 01/06/20 – 14 PAX and FOUR CORNERS @ Long Run BO”

What is the best kept secret in all of F3 Louisville?  Get out to the Long Run Black Ops on Monday at 0500 to find out.
