BB – 8/17/22 – The Foundry at the County – Meter Maid Q

YHC led an old school heavy where we met at the playground. I came in a few minutes early to unload the back of my Explorer.

Others arrived (Honeycomb, Huey andContinue reading “BB – 8/17/22 – The Foundry at the County – Meter Maid Q”

BB- The Moonshiner at the Boondocks- 1/20/22- Meter Maid Q

Leading into last night, I thought we would have had snowmageddon. It would be another opportunity to use my 4WD, but alas the weather people got it all wrong. No snow in sight. The only thing that got right was the bitter cold. It was a cold 21 degrees with a cross wind that cutContinue reading “BB- The Moonshiner at the Boondocks- 1/20/22- Meter Maid Q”

BB- 1/27/21 – The Foundry @ The County – Meter Maid Q

BB- The Nest 8/29/20 Meter Q

Earlier in the week, I had been marketing the Nest workout as a modified sandbag Murph. Pelican kept calling it a “Sandy Murphy Rucky” thing. I wasn’t sure how well it would go over with the PAX. All in all 18 PAX came for this difficult workout. Yoshi came to the County for the firstContinue reading “BB- The Nest 8/29/20 Meter Q”

Star Ruck Back Blast (We Be Shufflin’)

50 miles on foot is a loooong way.  Carrying over 30 pounds on your back is no picnic either.  However, when you’re teamed up with some real HIMs that motivate you and pull you along with them, it makes the journey a lot easier to conquer.  And CONQUER we did!  Not just our team, butContinue reading “Star Ruck Back Blast (We Be Shufflin’)”

PK wanted to start at 2AM. I was good with it, but you could tell that McAfeeContinue reading “Back Blast – 2.3.19 – Parklands”

Sunday BO Ruck Training – 1.27.19

9.21.18 Ruck Training Back Blast

Just like yesterday’s pre-blast, I plan to keep this simple as well. Sometimes I spend to much time overthinking a workout when most of the time the simplest ideas get the best results.
