BB 2/19 Bridge at the Posh, Grinder calls an audible

So I put out a Preblast on Monday, talking tough about how we’d be looking at the pavilion from a distance and carrying a bunch of heavy stuff through the rain. Fast-forward to 5am Wednesday as I am driving from Indiana to the Posh and I realized how foolhardy I had been. It was DUMPINGContinue reading "BB 2/19 Bridge at the Posh, Grinder calls an audible"

F3Lou Ruckin patch #AngelsInDisguise

On April 12, 2019, members from F3 Louisville (www.f3louisville.com) will venture up to Columbus, OH, for a CSAUP (Completely Stupid And Utterly Pointless) event. They will RUCK (hiking with a weighted backpack of around 20 pounds and essentials) for 50 miles within 20 hours. Why? Because these men like a dumb challenge, but they alsoContinue reading "F3Lou Ruckin patch #AngelsInDisguise"

Back Blast 2.23.19 -The Nest @The County with Buschhhh

So about a year ago I’m at HDHH with @Airplane who may be the best HL in F3 Louisville. Well I mistakenly made what I thought was a Loose commit that my next Q would be at my old stomping grounds, The County. As most of you know, I rarely Q. He threatened to goContinue reading "Back Blast 2.23.19 -The Nest @The County with Buschhhh"

2.23.19 Nest PB at the County: That’s a bushy bird

I really like the idea of The Nest. It's family, nurturing and holds a sense of safety. It's home. Tomorrow in the gloom we will definitely get a walk/run down memory lane and maybe, just maybe see where Zartan came from. Or, I will just play some awesome 80's music and make you guys jazzerciseContinue reading "2.23.19 Nest PB at the County: That’s a bushy bird"

Back-Blast – Temple of Gloom – 2/21/19 – The O

As always, had a great time yesterday at The "O". I arrived a little early and got the coupons transported over to the tennis court so we didn't waste any time once we got started. I also surveyed the area and was surprised by how much water the tennis courts hold. However, there was noContinue reading "Back-Blast – Temple of Gloom – 2/21/19 – The O"

Pre-Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 02/22/2019

Work has kept me away from the gloom more than I'd like over the past few weeks.  Fortunately, I knew it'd be this way, which is why I scheduled to Q on Friday -- selfishly, to force myself to not use work as an excuse for not posting.  I hope you'll do the same inContinue reading "Pre-Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 02/22/2019"

16 PAX turned out to get better with Abacus in a UvU workout. YHC modified early into the Q and after a quick mosey to the tennis courts PAX knocked down AMRAP merkins for 60 seconds. Turns out the PAX is strong and is in shape according to USA Today. COP for proper warm-up. SSH,Continue reading "BackBlast – Bag of Wrenches 2/19/19 Abacus"

2/21 Bayside backblast #KiloQ #DefeatTheFartsack

Lately many of us have been feeling like Homer here, YHC included.  It’s easy to make excuses to stay in the fartsack when the alarm sounds at 0500.  Find the accountability mirror and it becomes much easier to put two feet on the ground when the time comes.  Sometimes that means you HC to aContinue reading "2/21 Bayside backblast #KiloQ #DefeatTheFartsack"

2/14 Valentine’s Day Backblast #KiloLoveBag at #ToG

You’ve been waiting patiently for my fartsack of a Backblast.  I have to continue to live up to the reputation I’ve worked so hard to establish.  Pax showed out in droves to check out Kilos gearlander for the big day.  This year I decided to dial it down on the spandex and dial it upContinue reading "2/14 Valentine’s Day Backblast #KiloLoveBag at #ToG"

Backblast – 2/20/19. The Tank @ Veterans

I wondered how many would brave the elements when I was awakened by the bolt of lightening and thunderclap this morning. Turns out 4 - and myself make 5! Methane, Deep Dish, Drysdale, Aerobie, and Bob Ross Q Weather 32 and Pouring. We huddled up (all 5 of us) under the pavilion. The Disclaimer wasContinue reading "Backblast – 2/20/19.

The Not So SMURPH: Back Blast 2.16.19

This Saturday started off a little earlier than normal. With the Star Course closing in, several of us wanted to get some miles in prior to starting the day. At 0400, I met up with Alexa at the O Posh, and we planned to meet up with others who were starting at North Posh. WeContinue reading "The Not So SMURPH: Back Blast 2.16.19"

PreBlast for The Blender at The Mutt, an interview with Roosevelt E. Roosevelt

My good friend Roosevelt E. Roosevelt won't make it to the WO tomorrow, but I called to get his thoughts on the conditions. What do you think about my Weinke Roosevelt? "It's hot! Damn hot! Real hot! Hottest things is my shorts. I could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cooking." Thanks. HowContinue reading "PreBlast for The Blender at The Mutt, an interview with Roosevelt E. Roosevelt"

Backblast – 2/16/19. The Hurt @ the Mutt

As others on here have noted, something great about getting to lead is dealing with changing circumstances, and frequently at this time of year the changes are in the weather. I experienced this when I Qd at the Hurt last Saturday. I prepared the Weinke a few days ahead of time, before hearing forecasts forContinue reading "Backblast – 2/16/19. The Hurt @ the Mutt"

PB – Grinder @ The Bridge 2/20

It’s been over six months since I’ve Q’d at the Poshlands and I’m excited to get the chance again. I remember there’s a huge covered pavilion there. We’ll be able to see it from a distance as we run and carry coupons through the steady rain and driving winds on Wednesday morning. Can’t wait! RememberContinue reading "PB – Grinder @ The Bridge 2/20"
