There are no excuses not to post in the morning. Tomorrow, coupons are not only necessary but they will also be needed for this beat down. Don’t be scared of a little hard work on a Thursday, I hear there is an hour long yoga session at the Garden Friday morning. Gloves if you wantContinueContinue reading “3.11.21 Pre Blast – Temple of the Gloom – The O”

3.5.21 Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville

I had been a little while since YHC had made the trip to Pleasantville but I was looking forward to the challenge of getting Holly Roller to find that merlot level. He decided to travel on this particular day saving the rest of the PAX from absolute disaster! Weather: 35 degrees, slight breeze, clear skies.ContinueContinue reading “3.5.21 Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville”

??12??.16.21 Pre Blast – BoW @ The O

Come on out to The O in the morning. If everything goes as planned, YHC will actually be there this time, and have a general plan of what to do. Yes, there will be snow. Who cares. Yes, it will be cold. Dress properly. No coupons needed. Give yourself plenty of time to get thereContinueContinue reading “??12??.16.21 Pre Blast – BoW @ The O”

02.05.2021 Back Blast – The Gladiator @ The Abyss

YHC was planning on getting gritty for this WO. With two weeks off to plan an epic beat down, things were looking good. Then Louisville weather hit the area and we had to wait to see how the AO would look once we got there. Upon arrival, YHC drove around the pond looking for aContinueContinue reading “02.05.2021 Back Blast – The Gladiator @ The Abyss”

01.12.2021 Back Blast – The Loco @ The County

Tuesday morning. 5:28am. Train. Yup, standard County issues. As time ticked away before the disclaimer, Hushpuppy and YHC started to realize it was going to be just the two of us. At 5:29:15, the cars started rolling in and we realized all the Prime Time Players of the County, were in fact, ready to work.ContinueContinue reading “01.12.2021 Back Blast – The Loco @ The County”

1.9.21 Back Blast – The Ruiner @ The O

We started with 13 PAX for the Pre-Ruiner Ruck which was sweet. The complainers left, and another crew rolled in for the normal Ruiner Beat Down, 18 in at the end of the day. Several showed up for Violet’s final post in Louisville, which turned out to be a total lie just to boost theContinueContinue reading “1.9.21 Back Blast – The Ruiner @ The O”

1.9.21 Pre Blast – The Ruiner @ The O

Several PAX will be embracing the suck prior to The Ruiner. Do not fret, if you skip the ruck you will still receive your fair share of suck when you come to The O in the morning. No coupons will be needed for tomorrow’s festivities. Gloves if your hands get cold but not necessary. Don’tContinueContinue reading “1.9.21 Pre Blast – The Ruiner @ The O”

01.08.2021 Back Blast – The Baptizer @ The Garden

Getting ready for this Q, YHC went back into the vault and realized I had not Q’d the garden since January of 2020, ya know, back in the good old days. So, getting ready for this one, I put in a little extra time than normal. In other words, I planned this one out priorContinueContinue reading “01.08.2021 Back Blast – The Baptizer @ The Garden”

12.11.2020 Back Blast – The Chopper @ Vets

You never know what is going to happen at Vets, especially when it is Friday AND Tony Malito actually recruits and asks someone to Q. One of those “whats up his sleeves” kind of feelings. Once YHC found out Latex was down for a CoQ, the feeling really got weird. Then we see the titleContinueContinue reading “12.11.2020 Back Blast – The Chopper @ Vets”

12.10.2020 The Inferno @ The Station Back Blast

Thursdays at the station. You never know what you’re going to have as far as PAX numbers. I guess it all depends on how much cash Captain Crunchberry gives the train engineer the night before. Apparently this week he had to worry about the holiday shopping season because the train was late, allowing the CountyContinueContinue reading “12.10.2020 The Inferno @ The Station Back Blast”

11.28.2020 Back Blast – The Fog @ Posh

The Saturday after Thanksgiving. The intent of this day is to hang up and Christmas decor around the house the M tells you to. Either finish what you have left from Black Friday or start because you did nothing on Black Friday. Either way, YHC wanted to get the blood flowing but not kill allContinueContinue reading “11.28.2020 Back Blast – The Fog @ Posh”

11.06.2020 Back Blast – Pleasantville

It had been a while since YHC had made the trip to Pleasantville for a beat down. I was excited to get back out there and meet some of the newer faces that have come to make Pleasantville a regular stop on their weekly schedule. The problem was last time I was there the SunContinueContinue reading “11.06.2020 Back Blast – Pleasantville”

10.19.2020 Back Blast – Incubator @ Poshlands

As YHC went to bed the night before, the chances of rain were about 70%. Pelican told the region it wasn’t going to rain so I decided to plan a workout that did not need any cover. (at the risk of being banned from the region, I think we may need to listen to PelicanContinueContinue reading “10.19.2020 Back Blast – Incubator @ Poshlands”

10.19.2020 Pre Blast – The Incubator @ Poshlands

We can not control the weather. We can not control the size of the rain drops we will encounter in the morning. We CAN control our effort. We CAN build our durability. We WILL get better. Bring a coupon and a battle buddy. We will be putting in the work rain or shine, hot orContinueContinue reading “10.19.2020 Pre Blast – The Incubator @ Poshlands”

10.5.20 Back Blast – Q School at The Incubator

Being the first morning of Q school week, and knowing many of the PAX who frequent Poshlands on Monday morning, YHC knew he had to keep it simple but by no means easy. We don’t get up for easy at Posh. Anyway, to start off Q week, the syllabus was read, studied, and hopefully translatedContinueContinue reading “10.5.20 Back Blast – Q School at The Incubator”
