I started the countdown to 2020 a bit too early at the firehouse a couple weeks ago so I’m going to try again with some slight modifications at Pleasantville. As was the case last time underwear is required and pants are optional. SYITG

Pelican gave me the green light and was fully supportive of “Something New” for my VQ. I was really hoping the PAX would bring an open mind and have a willingness to try some new things. The PAX was truly awesome. All 16 PAX were engaged, focused, and completely into learning new movements. The PAXContinueContinue reading “12.14.19 Back Blast –  The Nest @ The County-Big Bugs VQ”

Ready for something a little different? Come out to The Nest for a CrossFit-flavored workout with an emphasis on movement standards and technique. We’ll spend time going through a couple of progressions to learn pistols and handstand push-ups. Whether you are already proficient at these movements or you’ve never even heard of them, you’ll beContinueContinue reading “Preblast: Something New @ The Nest at The County: Saturday, December 14 07:00 Big Bug’s VQ”

l PAX-Fungi, Brown Water, Captain Crunchberry, Back Flop, Cochran, Le Pew, Abacus, Air Plane, Pelican (Q) This Black Ops has been going strong since summer but I’ve only visited a couple times. When Fungi reached out for Qs last month I figured raising my hand would be a good way to lock myself in forContinueContinue reading “Backblast PWV Fire Department Black Ops Pelican Q 12.12.19”

Come count down to 2020 with Pelican at the Firehouse. This workout is inspired by a workout I did on my own in a hotel room in my underwear this summer. If that intrigues you or even if it repulses you come out and you will get better. Here’s a hint it’s not pickle pounders.ContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast 12.12.19 Pelican Q PWV Firehouse”

I wanted to put a BlackOps on the calendar for Black Friday as I figured I wasn’t going to be able to get up for 5:30 AM workout the day after Thanksgiving. Also I was having serious JOMO around missing burpee football at the County so I could allow time for that at the end.ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast-Black Friday Ops @ The County 11.29.19 Pelican Q”

I put this black ops on the calendar for a couple of reasons. First after what I’m going to eat and drink today I know I’ll need a workout and there’s no way I’m getting up in time for the regularly scheduled one. Second I knew I was going to miss burpee football at theContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast Pelican Q-11.29 Black Friday Ops @ The County 7-8 am”

If you’ve never been to a heavy you should find one and go soon. It’s a good “break” to the normal nonsense we do at other WOs with little to no running, burpees, etc. This was my first heavy Q and it was the day before Halloween so I figured we could do some adultContinueContinue reading “Back Blast 10/30 The Foundry @TheCounty”

Come out to the Heavy at the County and do some trick or treating with Pelican. There will be lots of tricks and a few treats. Bring gloves cause we will be doing coupon work. This should get you good and ready for Halloween night. SYITG

This was my second chance to Q and again I took on a Saturday at the Nest. There’s something to be said about starting your weekend off right with your F3 brothers that is hard to explain to anyone but this group. Anyway, 19 PAX show up for the Craft Fair and ended up stayingContinueContinue reading “Pelican BB-The Nest 10/12”
