08.16.18 Extender Back Blast – Old Bay waterboarding…again

2 weeks ago I Q'd the Rooster at the Mutt during a pretty severe thunderstorm.  This morning I Q'd the Extender at the Mutt during a pretty sever thunderstorm.   Truth be told, I was annoyed when I looked out the window this morning.  Was anyone going to come this time?  Would I give theContinue reading "08.16.18 Extender Back Blast – Old Bay waterboarding…again"

08.16.18 Extender Pre Blast. Old Bay’s farewell.

I've thought long and hard about this, so let's get right to it:  I love you boys, but I just can't do this F3 thing any longer.  Old Bay out. I'm tired all the time.  I'm sore all the time.  I'm hungry all the time.  I've had to buy smaller clothes...dumb base layers for theContinue reading "08.16.18 Extender Pre Blast.

ToG Pre-blast – 8.16.18

Although I would love to bring the IronPAX challenge to every AO in Louisville, it's just not feasible.

Tank 8/15 BB: 1,890 Burpees and 5,400 yards

Insano posted an article from Men's Health a few months ago. The gist was how members of the military are trained to maintain physical conditioning if they're ever captured by the enemy. I thought the good HIMs of the Tank should give the workout a try, and off we went. PAX: Tony Malito, Dealer forContinue reading "Tank 8/15 BB: 1,890 Burpees and 5,400 yards"

The Blender PreBlast: The Presidential Fitness Test – 5:30am Holy Trinty Zima Q

Circa 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower was alerted that thousands of US kids had failed a basic Swiss implemented fitness study.  Panic ensued and shortly thereafter the first version of the Presidential Fitness Test was born.  Fast forward to circa 1987, Mr. Kennedy was advising my fifth grade class on the strategies for mastering the flexedContinue reading "The Blender PreBlast: The Presidential Fitness Test – 5:30am Holy Trinty Zima Q"

8/14 Pre-Blast IronPAXChallenge Week 2

As I’ve met more PAX across F3Louisville I’ve realized a characteristic embedded within almost all of us: COMPETITIVENESS. Do we support one another & embrace seeing others succeed? Absolutely! But when you’re in the gloom if you think you’re not looking around competing with your fellow PAX then you’re lying to yourself. I love aboutContinue reading "8/14 Pre-Blast IronPAXChallenge Week 2"
