Never been to The Abyss & wonder why this is it’s the site’s name? Well, it’s simple: there’s not a single light (there use to be one, but it’s out). So, this morning when I set up shop with some lights over at the splash park it was like watching bugs gravitate to it. WithContinue reading “Gladiator Turkey Boy Butterfly’s 2.26.21 BackBlast”

Start your weekend early by getting your WO in & done early. 0515 start time at The Abyss…per my boy Frosted Tips, “bring a coupon & I’ll take care of the rest.” SYITG. Nino

This Iron Horse Challenge has me acting all kind of crazy as I prepare to post inside the Watterson tomorrow for the 2nd straight day. Hills are at a minimum at The O so in attempt to maximize output we will not use them, but you will NEED A COUPON. By 0615 tomorrow I hopeContinue reading “Temple of Gloom 2.4.21 PreBlast”

It’s been a while since I’ve posted or Qd at Vets, but if I had to guess it’s probably been just as long since one my favorite parts of the park have been used in a WO. Bring a coupon & be ready to get off the pavement. SYITG – Nino

It’s the first Monday of 2021, if you’re planning on coming to North Posh for the first Monday of 2021, be ready for a lil “Beast Mode” & a lil “Run Mode”. In preparation for the WO… NEED: a coupon OPTIONAL: gloves (it’ll be sub 30 degrees, but your call) headlamp SYITG. – Nino

The PAX below were at The Posh for my first post on December 17th, 2017 & it’d be awesome to see as many of them as possible at my 435 post three years late at The Garden this Thursday December 17th, 2020.

Kilo & I met in January ‘13 when we went to training together for the company we still work for as Pharmaceutical Sales Reps. Kilo joined F3 in July ‘17, where he was given his name because of his profession & when he head locked me in December ‘17 I too was given my nameContinue reading “Nino Uses a Kilo Worth of Burpees & Water to Grow The Garden 12.8.20 BB”

This picture tells you exactly what we’ll be doing tomorrow at The Garden, so you’ve been warned or intrigued (depending on how big a boy ya are). Additionally, here’s a couple of numbers relative to Kilo & me: 953 & 236. Knowing what these numbers represent may or may not be beneficial to you tomorrow.Continue reading “Nino Deals (with) a Kilo at The Garden 12.8.20 PreBlast”

At 0530 we circled up, I gave the disclaimer informing the PAX I am not a professional, I’ve received no training, everything I say to do is a suggestion, & encouraged everyone to listen to their body modifying as needed. I reiterated we are in the midst of a health pandemic so I will doContinue reading “The Posh’s Bridge 11.18.20 BackBlast”

It’s been about 6 months since I’ve Qd at The Posh so tomorrow we’ll make up for lost time. Similar to yesterday at North Posh, I again went through the archives of my Qs (specifically at The Posh) for my inspiration for tomorrow’s WO. YES bring your coupon. MAYBE wear some gloves (I plan tooContinue reading “The Bridge at The Posh 11.18.20 PreBlast”

Be ready to activate BEAST MODE to kick off the start of the week. I found my inspiration for tomorrow’s WO by looking back through the archives & going over the inaugural WO from when North Posh became official. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone who attends tomorrow was there in ‘18. NO couponsContinue reading “The Silo at North Posh 11.16.20 PreBlast”

This GIF combined with a hill sums up what we’ll be doing tomorrow at The Garden. If you’re not a fan of either The Garden will not be an ideal option for you. However, if you are a fan of either or if you want to push yourself outside your comfort zone, The Garden willContinue reading “Cloverfield at ☘️The Garden☘️ 11.5.2020 PreBlast”

For tomorrow’s WO there’s no theme, no name, just some stuff I have planned in attempt to make all in attendance better. We’ll do some running, we’ll do some lifting (bring a coupon), & we’ll listen to music that may or may not be offensive to civilians in the park. SYITG. – Nino

Here’s the WO for tomorrow, which is pretty straightforward. Again, due to time constraints we will NOT do a CoP & will start right at 0530 so I encourage any/all planning to participate to arrive by 0520. At 0520 I will walk through the WO, the setup, & this is your time to stretch, getContinue reading “IPC 2020 Week 3: K.I.S.S. at 🍀The Garden🍀 9.15.20 PreBlast”

Hats off to F3Greenwood & the IPC Crew for this WO…it was a beast. Last Sunday when the week 2 WO dropped I watched the 23 minute video & a couple things came to mind: this WO is going to suck (in a good way) creating a “wheel” overcomplicates this thing…especially if you have 10+Continue reading “IPC ‘20 Week 2 RESULTS from 🍀The Garden🍀 9.10.20 BackBlast”

The IPC Week 2 WO requires a 400m run, which we’re going to do in the top parking lot vs the bottom lot because the run can be done in 1 loop vs 2 loops. Due to this change, the conservation of effort (carrying your coupon up the Baptizer), & being mindful of time we’reContinue reading “IPC 2020 Week 2: Wheel of Misfortune at 🍀The Garden🍀 9.10.20 PreBlast”

Wondering why I sent out the BackBlast on Tuesday without the results? Here’s insight why…in 2019 the Region had two PAX members finish Top 10 Nationally for the IPC: McAfee at #6 & Catfish at #7. They may never openly admit the rivalry between them for fittest PAX in the Region, but I will admitContinue reading “IPC ‘20 Week 1 RESULTS from 🍀The Garden🍀 9.1.20”

In your PreBlast you often put out recommendations for the WO, which 98% of the time go completely unknown because who reads PreBlasts?!? In the PreBlast I sent for Week 1 of the IronPAXChallenge I strongly encouraged anyone planning to attend to arrive by 0520 to stretch/loosen up before I walked through the WO inContinue reading “IPC ‘20 Week 1: Inspector’s Gadget at 🍀The Garden🍀 9.1.20 BackBlast”

This is pretty straightforward, we’ll be doing this WO tomorrow at The Garden. I’ll take care of the timer so all you need to do is show up…preferably a little earlier than maybe you normally would. I plan to walk through the details of the WO at 0525 so we can start right at 0530Continue reading “IPC 2020 Week 1 at 🍀The Garden🍀 9.1.20 PreBlast”

Prior to this WO I claimed/did several things… Made it known we would NOT run up/down any of the hills at The Garden. Told Mr. Roper I would name this WO “Roper’s Return” if he posted today, which would be his 3rd post this week. I asked for several volunteers to help me move/set upContinue reading “Roper’s Return to The Baptizer 8.28.20 BackBlast”

If you stay away from The Garden because you don’t like (cough cough are afraid of) running up/down the hills then tomorrow is your day. We’re going to do something we seldom do…we’re NOT going to run up/down the hills, yes that’s correct NO running up/down the hills. I’m also going to deviate from myContinue reading “The Baptizer at ☘️The Garden☘️ 8.28.20 PreBlast”

Last year for the IronPAXChallenge there were 38 PAX from the Region who registered/participated & I Qd each of the four WOs in which the highest attendance amongst the four was 11. Why? Because the WOs are hard as shit & we ran the WO each week four times. Needless to say despite the higherContinue reading “IPC Training at The Garden’s Cliffs 8.18.20 BackBlast”

The 2020 IronPAXChallenge is set to kick off in 2 weeks & tomorrow we’ll continue prep work at The Garden by running back another previous WO. However, I made a few modifications (pictured on the right) to the original IPC WO (pictured on the left) because I looked back & found there were a coupleContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Training at The Garden’s Cliffs 8.18.20 PreBlast”

So…for the past couple of years we’ve done a Spring Convergence around April 22nd in celebration of the establishment of F3Louisville & a Fall Convergence around the end of the October. Obviously a Convergence in April was not an option in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic so the event was pushed to July. The hopeContinue reading “**CONVERGENCE at The O 7.18.20 Pre-Blast**”

Nothing fancy here…be at The Garden at 0530 for a WO & BRING A COUPON. SYITG Nino

By now I’m sure all of F3Nation knows Kilo is Qing tomorrow in celebration of his birthday & the physical transformation he’s endured since starting F3 (which I’m damn proud of him for doing). Normally I’d be at Kilo’s birthday Q (like I have been the last 2 years) but instead I’ll be Qing atContinue reading “Big Mo being Overshadowed 6.8.20 PreBlast”
