It’s predicted to be 7 degrees when we get started at 0530 in the morning. I’ll thus give the disclaimer now: Don’t lick the heavy metal we’ll be moving in the morning at The Vet. Actually, avoiding the temptation to lick things in the Gloom is probably good advice for any weather. This one willContinueContinue reading “Diablo #PreBlast for TheHeavy and TheVet 1/21/19”

Some days you wake up and you feel that it is going to be a great day.  Today was one of those mornings.  Snowday put out a message on Slack the night before searching for a few HIMs to join him in some early morning pre-work-out extra credit.  I had planned on keeping the PAXContinueContinue reading “01/18/19 Backblast PK @ the Chopper”

Q- Star Child. Pax: ⭐️👶 and Wham! Fart sack: Mad Cow 3.4 miles. Done

Sorry for the late pre-blast. We will run a little; I’ll keep us out of the mud. SYITG

Sorry for the late notice here but if anyone wants to ruck 3-4 miles Friday morning, join in. We will meet at my house and ruck Hurstbourne. I’m 100% positive cops will be called. Should be fun! Check the calendar for address.

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? I think so. And, I sincerely think both Abacus and Alexa are true HIMs and complete badasses in all things F3, so attempting to imitate them could only lead to good things, right? Well, I can’t say everyone ‘enjoyed’ the workout that I borrowed from them, but theContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Bag of Wrenches at the O, 1/15/19, Grinder Q”

For purpose of Double Down Challenge 2nd F documentation, Alexa, Myagi, Gilligan, Mama’s Boy and Fungi did a mobile coffeeteria of sorts after the NEST  on 1/5/19 to obtain Thelma and Louise.  Much fun and camaraderie had by all and it was a little EC workout in the process.  

Although I have not Q’d at the Mutt in quite a while, it was my 23rd Q so I should not have been anxious.  However, for some reason I woke up at 2 AM and could not get back to sleep for fear of fart sacking.  When 4:45 finally rolled around I got up andContinueContinue reading “Back Blast – Vincent Q @ the Blender”
