4 PAX in attendance for this morning's beatdown: Wham-O, Zima, Miyagi, and Grinder (Q).  Upon exiting the car this morning, YHC knew this wouldn't be an easy one.  I'd grown accustomed to some more moderate temps throughout the week, so the freezing rain, snow, and high winds left a lot to be desired.  Luckily thereContinue reading "Backblast 4/7 – Christmas in April at #theHurt"

An April snowstorm makes for a great back drop for your VQ. Being out in those conditions helps you understand how much you really want to get better. Spring break and weather kept the numbers light, but we didnt back down from the challenge. Banana Bread Q , Glaucoma, Shuttlecock (R), Six Pack Mosey toContinue reading "Back Blast: Bayside 4/7 — Reserve Capacity"

Well, we're a week into April, so in true 2018 fashion we're expecting snow and high winds for tomorrow's beatdown.  I don't want that to deter anyone, so in honor of this wintery weather we're going to celebrate like it's Christmas.  If you rise to the challenge and meet me in the Gloom, I promiseContinue reading "PreBlast 4/7 #theHurt – Christmas in April?"

Fresh off of an abbreviated beach vacation I am back to the tundra of the north to lead a Saturday beat down.  Thanks to a bum wheel there will be very little running tomorrow.  That doesn't mean we won't be busy.  Plan on lots of coupons, merkins, burbees and even a surprise or two.  SYITG

  Thats right, I know what you're thinking.  The posh is SO posh right now.  Its so posh that there are 3 Posh.  North Posh at The wall, Posh posh at Gheens lodge, and now South Posh at Pope lick park.  You'll notice the Louisville Loop heading right through the middle of the shot aboveContinue reading "4/6 South Posh Ruck BackBlast 8 PAX a blazin"

This will be my VQ as a member of F3. The weather is calling for a snow storm in April! I love it! We will push through and get better and stronger together. Expect a workout that will test your capacity to go beyond your limits. I'm looking forward to it.  #ISI

A day behind on this one. Personally, March/ April has been some of the toughest conditions to post in.  Windy, Wet... 30 degrees. Sucks.  So to wake up and it be 28 degrees, and no wind and dry actually felt nice.  As the PAX can attest, we were glad it was 28 degrees by theContinue reading "BB: 04/05 Bayside: HIMS set their “Soul on Fire”"

All miles, NO Beatdown.  Trying for 6 miles in 1.5 hours. 0515-0645 pope lick park off Taylorsville Rd.  #SouthPosh

Come join me and Zima as we celebrate the last few days of Spring Break by tearing up the mean streets of Norton Commons.  We'll mix it up so there's sure to be something for everyone.  We make no guarantees, but there's a damn good chance you'll get better.  SYITG

Kilo mentioned to me that the Veteran's site needed a Q last week.  I thought about it for a whole second before I said Yes!  I have Q'ed a few times before, and was really looking forward to Q'ing when it was not 30 degrees or below.  Plus I had a few items in mindContinue reading "04.04.18 – BackBlast Veterans #Respect"

First my apologies for the delay sending this. I broke lots of F3 protocol with this one. 6 spring break HIM's made it to a Monday AM Vincent resort / beach beatdown. Diablo, Iceman(R), Double Down(R), Forced Close and FNG Jitterbug(R) sweated out the last of the previous nights alchohol to prep for a newContinue reading "BackBlast – Silver Dunes Destin 4/2/18"

What do you do when you’re on spring break and need to get an oil change but there are no instant oil changes on the island? You find a place about 3.8 miles from your residence, drop off your vehicle in the morning and ruck back to the house, or at least that’s what IContinue reading "4/3/18 Solo Marco Island Ruck"

  Star Child found a great location for our first work out, so we went back to the pier for Round 2. Thankfully the rain washed off some of the fish guts, and bird shit and kept most of the fisherman away. PAX: Flounder, Star Child, Deuce, Digiorno, Wham!, and Mayberry (Q) Weather- mid-60's, overcastContinue reading "4.4.18 – #BackBlast Gulf Shores, AL"

OK, it did not look like the above, but the wind chill was only slightly warmer. Note to any PAX down South, snow is in the Louisville forecast for Saturday along with a high temp of 28. You might want to extend your Spring Break stay. Last night I slept like sh@t, which is theContinue reading "4.4.18 #theblender backblast. #f3louisville #f3themutt"

Q: Diablo PAX: (5) Methane, Iceman, Double Down, Jitterbug, and Diablo We have heard about Club Paradise.  We have seen pictures of Captain Insane-o's tailored tank tops and tuxedo shirts.  We have read about donut rucking, and Face's house with second floor TV rooms.  We have heard stories of Waterboy, Scratch, and Spinal Tap leavingContinue reading "4/4/18 #BackBlast for Destin FL – Silver Dunes AO"

To borrow from Holiday Worlds marketing, ‘visit #theblender during Holy Trinity Spring Break for smaller crowd sizes and best parking.’ If you were observant, you noticed my GIF is not for tomorrow, but, it might as well be. Other than the day of the week and the time, it looks pretty accurate. Come out toContinue reading "4.4.18 #theblender Preblast.@f3louisville"
