Like most stupid things YHC says it happened while sipping a fine single barrel bourbon and texting with some PAX members. I wish I could share a screen grab of the conversation but I really really can’t. Here is at least what I said. This was followed by a couple HCs and gifs about howContinueContinue reading “2.1.18 BO: PreRuck with Val”

So it’s happening tomorrow. 0445 hard start for a loop with Val. Be ready to work cause he is a huckleberry. Start at the tennis courts and be back in time for 0530 beatdown.

This story begins not unlike many others you have heard before. HIM EH’s his buddy. His buddy says blah blah blah (excuses). HIM goes on getting better and reminding said buddy that the gloom will always be there for him. Fast forward 5 months and this is where things get interesting. YHC has been grindingContinueContinue reading “1.29.18 1930 BlackOp: Wait, we have night beatdowns too?”

We have tried everything else so why not an evening Bootcamp. Wait, Z isn’t 1930 like right in the middle of family time? Why yes it is. However, when you have an FNG you have been EH’n for months and he says his milkshake can bring 5+ FNGs to the yard you step up. AlsoContinueContinue reading “1.29.18 BlackOp After Dark at 1930 (730pm) at the Mutt”

So nothing fun to report during YHCs portion of the beatdown. We met for a reason and I was there to guarantee we all got what we came for. But please read below the fold. WeddingSinger brought some seriously hard entertainment. PAX Busch Zoo GlenRoss Snowman WEddingSinger Tron Vincent MadCow Zartan Mosey to get theContinueContinue reading “1.26.18 BlackOp Runless Beatdown: Slow and Low that is the tempo”

PAX: Zoolander, Vincent, MadCow & Zartan Conditions: muggy 30ish degrees Attire: Zoo came strong with 20yr old St X Basketball T Shirt, upper and lower tights. Some kind of shorts and classic gray wool socks pulled up and ever so gently scrunched as if he should have had on Timberland boots from the 90s. WeContinueContinue reading “1.26.18 BO PreWO Ruck: Running with the Bulls”

Sometimes life gets in the way of F3.  The flu, injuries, booze, being a sissy are all real issues some of us face.  But when a doctor tells you to refrain from doing something we should listen right?  Or even better, lets modify. Tomorrow at 0530 at the Mutt we will have a guaranteed runlessContinueContinue reading “1.26.18 | 2 BlackOps at the Mutt. 0500 Pre Ruck 0530 Runless Beatdown. Get you some”

Each PAX carried him twice. The hills in the hood definitelyContinueContinue reading “1/22/18 BlackOp Ruck with PT closer”

The forecast for tomorrow is 50 degrees with 100% chance of getting better. We have 4 HCs: 2 Rucker’s, 1 GR1 and Val (60# GoRuck sand bag) will be in attendance. Where will you be? Better question. Unless you are at Posh, what else could you be doing at 0530 that will help you attackContinueContinue reading “1/22/18 BlackOp at the O: Why the Ruck not”

We always welcome any FNG with open arms,  Recently we welcomed Zima into our ranks and I believe we should have welcomed him with #TArms.  Wait, is Triple Open Arms even a thing?  It should be.  I digress.  Zima is the man behind the curtain for Louisville biggest and baddest craft beer festival and hasContinueContinue reading “2.17.2018 TailSpin Ale Fest & F3Louisville Team Up. #HIMS needed!

So let me be clear. YHC loves Cox. I mean how can you not. It’s new which is always exciting. It’s huge which lets us try new things. And it’s close to home so in reality I could get to Cox whenever I want. However, today we got to explore Just the Tip. So hereContinueContinue reading “BlackOp BackBlast: Cox’s Park 12.18.17.

The ballots are in and no need to tally the votes. Hard Work wins in a landslide.  Tomorrow we work…. hard  YHC Zartan 

FellasAs many of you are aware, we lost Erik Heitmann far too early on Saturday. Jason and Kelly West are hosting a gathering at their house after his burial on Thursday.
