Today we kicked off Ghost Q Week leading up to Convergence this Saturday 10.26.19. I look forward to seeing as many PAX as possible this Saturday at Convergence with the details below: WHAT: A full body hour long beat down by 4 different PAX of F3Louisville followed by some quality 2ndF. WHEN: Saturday 10.26.19 fromContinue reading “**CONVERGENCE 10.26.19 PREBLAST**”

I’ve got a surprise for anyone posting at The Garden tomorrow…a hill will be involved. Simply put, if ever Q at The Garden & don’t use one of the hills then in my opinion my Q credibility is shot. If you’re not scared to WO on a hill, bring some gloves & come out toContinue reading “Cloverfield 10.17.19 PreBlast”

In my PreBlast, I noted how long it’d been since I posted at The County, which is surprising considering how frequently I posted there last year & it’s less than 15 minutes away from my house. Today I shared with the PAX of The County the reason why: I didn’t need to. The County becameContinue reading “Dem County Boyz Still Got “It” 10.1.19 BackBlast”

It’s been 275 days since I last Qd & 263 days since I last posted at The County (I’m not counting the BlackOps on 9.21.19 to do Week 3 of the IPC) which is pretty crazy when you consider I’m the one who coined The County PAX as “Dem County Boyz”. Tomorrow, both of thoseContinue reading “I’m Coming for Dem County Boyz at the LOCO on 10.1.19 PreBlast”

Let’s face it, the natural tendency of essentially of most (if not all) living things is to take the path of least resistance, the easier way. I love about North Posh because the Site doesn’t give you this option. The terrain essentially forces you into a WO that is more difficult than usual. What madeContinue reading “The Silo 9.30.19 BackBlast: Beast Mode ON”

The premise behind the WOs at the beginning of the North Posh were simple: BEAST MODE. Week in & week I wanted the WO to be so challenging that the PAX who attended would push themselves exponentially harder than they normally would & in turn would take greater leaps in their fitness level. Tomorrow weContinue reading “The Silo 9.30.19 PreBlast”

The IronPAXChallenge is a very “love-hate” thing…well maybe “like-hate”. Each week for four weeks a different WO is sent out by F3Greenwood to track either an elapsed time or total number of reps. Each week I’d see the WO & think to myself, “Damn, this thing is gonna be a b*^~h” & each week IContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 4 BO at The Posh 9.24.19 BB”

The end of the 2019 IronPAXChallenge is in sight as we’ll  take on the fourth & final WO tomorrow at The Posh. We’re going to start at 0515 to ensure we’re finished by the regular time of 0615 & we will also meet at a different location (shown below). Here’s the final WO & the linkContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 4 BlackOps at The Posh 9.24.19 PreBlast”

Each week of the first two weeks of the IPC I’ve Qd the weekly WO on Tuesday for a couple of reasons…1. Friday is the M’s day to workout & 2. I prefer to get this thing knocked out & not having it looming over my head for the week. However, this week was goingContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 3 BO at The County 9.21.19 BB”

The M has been out of town all week so I haven’t been able to post meaning I haven’t been able to complete the Week 3 WO of the IPC…so if you haven’t been able to do take on the 43 minutes of misery below,  but would like to then come meet me at theContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 3 BlackOps at The County 9.21.19 PreBlast”

I’m typically pretty on top of sending out my BackBlast, but not this one…intentionally. Since the IronPAXChallenge is a competition it was decided by the PAX who participated in the WO on Tuesday not to post our times. Why? Well, because it gives the PAX who participate in the WO on Friday a competitive advantage.Continue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 2 BO at The Posh 9.10.19 BB”

Today 9 PAX took on Week 2 of the IronPAXChallenge at The County & some feedback was not only is this WO a “beast” but the WO alone may take a little longer than the 45 minutes we have slotted for weekday WOs. In an effort to ensure PAX members are done by 0615 we’reContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 2 BlackOps at The Posh 9.10.19 PreBlast”

Since the WOs for the IronPAXChallenge predetermined, Qing the WOs is easy…you just have to measure out distances & make sure all the participating PAX know what they’re doing. I got to The Posh at about 0515 to mark out the distances for the WO, set up some music, & let the PAX know theContinue reading “IronPAXChallenge Week 1 BO at The Posh 9.3.19 BB”

There are no surprises here because this isn’t my WO. All I’m doing is setting it up & facilitating. If you don’t already know what we’re doing for Week 1 here you go: SYITG Nino

Huggies & I have both participated in multiple Monthly Ruck Events (which have all been awesome for the record) but for this one, we wanted to do something no one else had done. Several months ago we began talking about ideas when came up with the idea of canoeing down Floyd’s Fork while stopping throughoutContinue reading “BACKBLAST FROM FLOYD’S FORK 8.23.19”

Ever heard of David Goggins, “the toughest man alive”? Whether you have or haven’t is ultimately irrelevant, but the inspiration for this Ruck came from a section of his book You Can’t Hurt Me. David Goggins is a former Navy SEAL who went through the program’s Hell Week (what seems to be unanimously described asContinue reading “AUGUST RUCK EVENT 8.23.19 PREBLAST”

On Wednesday 3.6.19 I went to morning mass for Ash Wednesday & ran into Uncle Rico. I was kind of busting on him because he hadn’t been out as much since it got colder (7 times in total to this point in 2019) which somehow led to the idea of doing a WO at St.Continue reading “Cloverfield BB 8.8.19 “F*#k it!””

All week the Site Qs of F3Louisville have stepped up to Q the WO they oversee for Back to Q School week, but if you look at the calendar you’ll see me on the schedule tomorrow at Cloverfield (which I am not the Site Q of). You see tomorrow will be 5 months since IContinue reading “Inaugural Cloverfield 8.8.19 PreBlast”

Leading up to the August Ruck Event (Friday 8.23.19) Huggies & I would like to incorporate a 3ndF component: a school supplies campaign. We have multiple PAX within the Region who are teachers or work with JCPS (Mr. Hat, Mr. Kotter, Harbaugh, Retainer, & more…apologies to anyone I left out) & I’m sure they canContinue reading “August Ruck Event 3ndF Included”

It’s been a while since I’ve Q’d at North Posh & as I said in my PB I didn’t really know what we were going to do today, but the Q juices got flowing last night & this is what the result was. PAX Pork Chop Huggies Catfish Gypsy McAfee Nino (QIC) I gave theContinue reading “Eyes on The Prize BB from the Silo 7.15.19”

I’ve got the Q at North Posh tomorrow & as of right now I really don’t know what we’ll do, but we will get better. You won’t need a head lamp or off-road shoes, but I do recommend some gloves. Whether you post at North Posh or not make the choice to start your weekContinue reading “The Silo 7.15.19 PreBlast”

For the 2nd time in 4 weeks, I find myself writing a BackBlast for a WO I wasn’t on the calendar to Q. However, things come up & more often than not they come up at inopportune times because well…that’s life. One of the things F3 has taught me is I don’t have me toContinue reading “The Garden 7.9.19 BB by Nino Again…WTF?!?”

Huggies & I met up yesterday afternoon to grab a couple of beers & finalize our WO for tomorrow. As we started talking about what each one of us planned to do it was amazing to see the WO transform into a different direction neither of us originally planned. What was designed to be aContinue reading “7.4.19 Battle of The PAX at The Garden PreBlast”

(Pictured above is Buschhhhh at the start of his first suicide) I wish I could say this BB is a day late because it’s an incredible read, but that’s not the case. When I signed up to Q the Blender on 6.19.19 about 4-5 weeks ago my schedule was wide open at work & atContinue reading “Blender Sloppiness 6.19.19 BackBlast”

Of the last 3 times I’ve posted, 2 of the WOs were “competitions”. I like this idea because I think more often than not, in these scenarios we push ourselves harder than usual…because losing sucks. I don’t know exactly what we’re doing yet, but it will be competition based. I suggest wearing off-road shoes if youContinue reading “The Blender 6.19.19 PreBlast”

When I pulled into St. Patrick’s at 0522 this morning there were 2 cars in the lot…neither of which belong to Huggies. A few minutes passed & a few more cars pulled in…still none of which belonged to Huggies. I text him, “You good?” By 0529 there was no response & it was evident weContinue reading “St. Pats BO 6.18.19 BB by Nino???”

I put a lot of thought into my Q yesterday at the BlackOps at St. Patrick’s so I’m not going to lie, my creative juices were a little depleted when I started putting together this WO for the Bridge. Nonetheless, I put something together & I was pleased to see 11 PAX show up despiteContinue reading “4 Corners at the Bridge 6.5.19 BB”

I just had the Q today at St. Patrick’s which means if I’m set to Q at The Posh tomorrow I’ll likely recycle a previous WO (if not the one I did today)…lol think again. Come out to the Bridge tomorrow to see what I’ve come up with. **ADVISORY** I suggest gloves & shoes thatContinue reading “The Bridge 6.5.19 PreBlast”

We’ve been running a BlackOps at St. Patrick’s for about 3 months now & it really is an awesome site. There’s a long, consistent, steep hill in the front with a huge parking lot up top & an even longer, multi-grade, hill in the back with an even bigger parking lot. There are two playgroundsContinue reading “7 Stations of Suffering at St. Pats BlackOps 6.4.19 BackBlast”

(Not my M nor anyone I know, just a censored fictional picture to depict my view while at the pool) Over Memorial Day weekend the M & I went to Scottsdale…without the 2.0s which was very refreshing. However, if you know me then you’d know that just sitting by a pool for 4 days isn’tContinue reading “St. Patrick’s BlackOps 6.4.19 PreBlast”
