For those who weren’t able to attend GrowRuck this past weekend you are in luck. This will be just like it with the exception of its only 45 minutes long, no one will yell at you unless you piss off the mom group, you can keep your phone and wear your watch, it most likelyContinueContinue reading “Post Grow Ruck training-Pelican Q Incubator at Posh 10.12.20”

Once again Captain Crunchberry pulled rank and stopped the damn train in front of the County. Luckily I left early enough that the detour wouldn’t prevent me from getting there on time. Stupidly I didn’t take said detour and hoped the stopped train I saw wouldn’t be long enough to block the entrance. It was,ContinueContinue reading “Pelican BB 10.1.20 The Agony at the County”

Bring a coupon and a partner and be ready to work. We will run some and there will be prizes. Let’s see those double HCs! SYITG Pelican

I’ve never fart sacked the IPC Q two times in the same week so everyone knew I’d be there and ready to go this time. To be fair this past Monday was more a smart sack than a fart sack. The Super Samuel Ruck (which was awesome) left my back more sore than I expectedContinueContinue reading “IPC Week 4 at the County Take 2”

So last week when I Q’d the day after IPC I said I never would do that again. Little did I realize that I had already signed up to Q the Boondocks this week the day after IPC Week 3. Ok I totally realized it but whatever. If you haven’t been to the Boondocks beContinueContinue reading “BB Pelican Q @ the Boondocks 9.15.20”

So week 3 was much easier to set up than week 2. We already have use the 400m loop for 2 weeks during IPC (counting the practice week) and you only needed a little bit of space for the work. Besides running you had to memorize 2 exercises and just drop 10 reps each round.ContinueContinue reading “IPC Week 3 at the County 9.14.20”

Didn’t follow my own advice and picked up another Q the day after IPC. Not 100% sure what we will be doing but I know what it won’t be (merkins/squats). Bring a coupon and be ready for Pelican to show you some love. SYITG Pelican

Do not sign up to Q after IPC, do not sign up to Q after IPC, do not sign up to Q after IPC, do not sign up to Q after IPC. Ok you’ve been warned. To be fair to myself I signed up to Q before we decided to run IPC at the CountyContinueContinue reading “BB Pelican Q 9/8/20 Loco at the County”

So the IPC workouts are hard enough without having to think and try to figure out how to set them up and do them. When the video came up it was cool, it was a wheel with a spoke and some flags and stuff. But how are we going to fit 10-20 PAX in oneContinueContinue reading “BB-IPC Week 2 at the County”

Crockpot didn’t list a Q for tomorrow on the calendar. He listed a description and everyone at the County decided he was talking about me. So I’ll step up and lead. We did IPC today so I don’t want to see a coupon or thruster tomorrow. May want gloves but that’s it. Shoes should beContinueContinue reading “Pelican Pre-blast The Loco 9/8/20”

The Labor Day Derby Nest Pelican / Dauber Co-Q was literally the most over-hyped F3 Louisville event ever, and it did not disappoint. The bar was set high, we aimed for average and emphatically under-delivered.  Even the pre-workout was pretty much a cluster.  Lots of PAX were already there when I arrived (including Pelican whoContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Saturday 09-05-2020 – Pelican / Dauber Derby Day Co-Q @ The County”

Started off week 1 way better than week 0. I was on time and present-from there it went completely downhill. I did make one good decision as yesterday Jolly Rancher and I set the location for the playground since rain was in the forecast. The plan was to keep the electronics and the early arrivingContinueContinue reading “Pelican BB-IPC @ the County 8.31.20”

The work done by Alexa and Dauber has turned the Foundry into one of the busiest workouts of the week in the greater County area. At least when other people Q it. On this day we have the perfect social distancing number of 10. For some reason the site Q had some concerns if IContinueContinue reading “BB-Pelican at the Foundry 8.26.20”

Bring gloves and a coupon to the County. Be ready for the same but different kind of workout. No running, Dauber said we are back to heavy’s. No bear crawls, man makers or nuclears. Also no burpees or SSHs. Running short on exercises but I’ll find a way fill at least 30 minutes up. SYITG–maybeContinueContinue reading “PB-Pelican Q 8.26.20 Foundry at the County”

Wasn’t sure what numbers would look like this day as Pleasantville gets random people dropping in as it is and the monthly ruck was that evening. There was also a first official workout at the Garden. It had a marketing campaign like new Coke and is also the self proclaimed hardest working AO in theContinueContinue reading “BB Pelican Q Wisteria 8/21/2020”

Come out tomorrow for a few rounds of pass the PAX. Running shoes needed but no coupons. Gloves are a maybe but I won’t be wearing them and I have soft hands. SYITG Pelican

The BlackOps at the Garden has started gaining momentum this summer and it was my turn to Q. Seems like Friday is always the day of the week I struggle with posting so getting on the calendar is a good way to HC. I went out to the Garden the Friday before to see whatContinueContinue reading “BB-Pelican Q BlackOps at the Garden 8.7.20”

This is what I remember the hill looking like at the Garden. After Friday it will be etched into my brain. Get out and get better with me tomorrow. No coupons needed, may want gloves. SYITG Pelican

Also known as Pelican’s birthday Q. I was super excited to plan my bday Q and even more excited when some of the hard commits started rolling in. A couple of FNGs were slated to attend and the weather couldn’t have been better. I stayed up late working on a playlist that was full ofContinueContinue reading “BB-GROWRUCK infomercial at the Loco at County 8.4.20”

Join me at the County for a Pelican party. I’m getting a new F3 # tomorrow so come celebrate with me. Need gloves and coupons. SYITG Pelican

Ok I’m going to write Tidwell’s backblast for him cause even though he inspired and led 28 of us this day he’s still just 15. I had the opportunity to help him get ready for his VQ and I was absolutely honored. I still don’t think he knew he could have chose someone else butContinueContinue reading “BB-Tidwell’s VQ-The Nest @ the County 7.25.20 (as told by Pelican)”

I’m super pumped that Tidwell is letting me help him out with his VQ tomorrow (I’m not sure he knew he had a choice but that’s ok). He’s got a good one planned, bring your coupons and be ready to work. We will break up into teams for some friendly completion (not like the 76er/PelicanContinueContinue reading “PB-Tidwell’s VQ the Nest @ the County 7.25.20”

I could not wait for my first trip to the O. I had been meaning to get out there before I Q’d but I try to make most of Backflop’s Qs and he Qs just about every day so it didn’t happen. Thankfully I talked to Viking and Meter Maid the day before or IContinueContinue reading “BB Pelican Q BoW 7.21.20”

My first trip to the O is tomorrow, be ready for a full body workout. Coupons and gloves are needed. If I can’t find the meet point just run around in circles until I show up. That’s basically what I do for COP anyway. SYITG Pelican

I was fired up for the basketball tryouts at the Abyss. Figured after the debacle that was the Boondocks tryout we could only go up. My jersey even got an upgrade-my name on the back. Custom jerseys aren’t as hard to make as I thought, I’ll have to talk to the NBA store to helpContinueContinue reading “BB-Pelican Q-Basketball tryouts @ The Escalator @ the Abyss 7/15/20”

If I was a basketball coach I’d be a lot like Shooter-drunk all the time and you’d never be sure if I’d show up or not. For tomorrow at least you don’t have to worry about that—I think. Going to try to find out how the Long Run Park all stars compare to the PeggyContinueContinue reading “PB-Pelican Q 7/15 The Escalator @ the Abyss”

LaGrange road traffic jam as the County boys were waiting for a train to cross right at 5:26 Knew it was going to be a good morning when I got about 4 texts as I sat at the railroad tracks trying to get to the County. Seems I wasn’t the only one who was stuck.ContinueContinue reading “BB-Pelican Q @ the Agony 7.9.2020”

Get out to the County tomorrow for some Tabata and other stuff…will be some lightish running. Coupons needed and gloves strongly suggested. SYITG Pelican

A young mobile, agile and hostile Pelican The Boondocks is an awesome AO, with a great group of HIM who call that place home. I try to go there every few weeks and Q there every couple of months. Knowing these PAX I knew I had to bring it and wanted to bring something IContinueContinue reading “Backblast-Pelican Q-Planetarium 7/7/20”

There’s nothing a Pelican likes better than a week at the beach. That’s come to an end so time to work off all the extra fish I ate. Come get back in shape with me through a basketball style conditioning session on the legendary Peggy Baker basketball court. Fun fact-Bulletin is the all time leadingContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Pelican Q Boondocks 7/7/20”
