Back Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020

My 2.0 decided to throw a party last night – two separate ones, with the first starting around midnight and the second around 4am.  Needless to say, when the alarm went off to roll out of bed this morning it was difficult. But, I was scheduled to Q.  Which means I had no choice becauseContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020”

Pre-Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020

I have a love-hate relationship with Mondays. There are rarely times that I actually look forward to Monday – normally that’s when it’s a national summer holiday like Memorial Day or Labor Day.  Outside of the holidays, Monday means it’s a work day – and, the beginning of a work week at that. But, youContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The Silo @ North Posh – 02/10/2020”

Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 02/07/2020

Alarm went off on Friday and I really didn’t want to get up.  But, being the Site Q at Wisteria I really have no choice.  Grabbed my phone to check the weather so I can plan my gear accordingly – found a text message from Flounder that he sent while I was snoozing [at aboutContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Wisteria @ Pleasantville – 02/07/2020”

BackBlast – louisville lovin’ the hills (Abacus) 2/8/2020

Fair disclaimer that Lovin’ the Hills (LLH) is not technically F3 b/c it’s not free and it’s open to women. Having said that, F3 Louisville was out in force! Nearly 15 men (maybe more I didn’t see) were on the course getting better and spreading F3 virtues to the broader community. In many ways thisContinueContinue reading “BackBlast – louisville lovin’ the hills (Abacus) 2/8/2020”

A Thirst Trap from VETS 2.7.2020 BackBlast

We lost the bet to Naperville & we paid the price… My entire idea for this WO was to do a complete mash-up of several types of WOs (a few of which I’ve never used in a WO) to make one complete WO to last for 30-40 minutes. My personal perceived genius will likely beContinueContinue reading “A Thirst Trap from VETS 2.7.2020 BackBlast”
