Post-Blast: Wisteria @ Pleasantville 9/13

  This morning a bunch of heathens met at Pleasantville for a good slaughtering.  We quickly proceeded to ransack and blunder the neighborhood to the scale never seen before.  Ironically we didn’t break any windows, which my wife would have been happy with her husband about. After a quick warm up we split into teamsContinue reading "Post-Blast: Wisteria @ Pleasantville 9/13"

IronPAXChallenge Week 2 BO at The Posh 9.10.19 BB

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"

Pre-Blast: Wisteria @ Pleasantville 9/13

9-11 Blackblast The Foundry with Storm Trooper

I thought it would be appropriate to do our workout this morning in silence in remembrance of those that gave their lives on 9-11-01, specifically, the 343 fireman. I barely made it through what I thought was going to be a simple explanation of the workout and why we planned to "suffer in silence". TheContinue reading "9-11 Blackblast The Foundry with Storm Trooper"

PAX: Chief (R), Cochran, and Bulletin (R) (Q) I arrived a little early to check out the new path under construction at the park.
