Been a while since I Q’d. I’m going to give some thought to what to do, but no promises that it will be good, original or even interesting. It’ll just be good to be there, or not if you’re tired. Here’s a picture I found in my photos that I like.

Temple of Gloom Pre-blast 11/29 – Running is a Life Skill, Part 2
First, we will not do 100 burpees, run a mile, 50 burpees run a mile for time. Unless someone else chooses to do it, I won’t run that until sometime in March 2019.

PreBlast -Temple of Gloom 11/8 0530 to 0615 Gemini – Q
Guest Q from Pittsburgh Gemini: the cardio engine wins trophies! It looks to be in the 20’s for real feel but the workout should warm you up quick. Think layers, gloves, and some vo2 max testing. SYITG

Pre-Blast – The ‘O’ – 9/13/18 ToG
I’m an engineer, not a marketing director. I don’t like writing Pre-blasts or other blasts for that matter. However, I do enjoy reading the clever ones (like Methane’s generic cookie comparison), but this isn’t one of them. I’m a meat and potatoes with butter and salt kind of guy. No frills, no pepper, just saltContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The ‘O’ – 9/13/18 ToG”

The moment of truth. Put up or shut up. In the 5 days leading up to one of the greatest matchups in F3 history, everyone has been on the edge of their seat.

Temple of Gloom Pre-Blast
Pax, I know it seems that this Q vs. Q, Methane vs. Nugget WO is getting a little intense. Don’t worry, it’s just a little sibling rivalry. See Nugget started F3 about a week before I did. We figured all this F3 stuff together. We worked out together, partnered up, we even completed the HighlanderContinueContinue reading “Temple of Gloom Pre-Blast”
