BB- 9/8/2021- The Foundry at the County- Meter Maid Q

I had signed up for this Q about a month ago. With all the mini training, it forced me to Q and get back to the County where it all began for me. I had plans to use my potted plants (aka Sorinex Center Mass Bells). When I got up early this morning, it wasContinue reading “BB- 9/8/2021- The Foundry at the County- Meter Maid Q”

BB- The Agony – 7/15/21 – Meter Maid 50th Q

It has been a while since I last Qed. Airplane was originally scheduled to Q but had out late yesterday that he had to be in Lexington early.

BB- 12/5/20 Meter Birthday Q at the Nest

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”
