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”

Back Blast – Bulletin Q at The Tank – 2/5/2020

I rolled into Vets a bit early to get the Bulletin Board. I was surprised that PK had the WHAS 11 news van there for coverage. It must have been too cold for them, as they never got out of the van. They left and came back for the COT but they must have filmedContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Bulletin Q at The Tank – 2/5/2020”
