Back-Blast: The Range @ the Patriot – 5.11.22 – Mannequin Q

Warm weather made for a quick warmup this morning, we 16 men filtered in right as I was getting rolling with the disclaimer. The train had held a lot of them up. This mornings workout was down at the Cityplace courtyard. When you are in there, and the music is blasting, it makes for aContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast: The Range @ the Patriot – 5.11.22 – Mannequin Q”

Back-Blast Tuesday 5/10/2022 – Planetarium @ The Boondocks

I’m not sure I can fully explain the workout in this back blast as it was difficult enough trying to get the 15 PAX in attendance to understand it.  However, I did hear someone say everything went “smooth” when we circled up at the end (yes, that someone was me).  The whole workout really hingedContinueContinue reading “Back-Blast Tuesday 5/10/2022 – Planetarium @ The Boondocks”

Pre-Blast – Patriot @ the Range – 5:30

You. Time. Work. There is a time for everything under the sun, or in our case, in the gloom. We rise early, not knowing all the challenges of the day before we face them, yet we rise. We band together in the dawn to welcome the sun, and we tell our minds to move ourContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – Patriot @ the Range – 5:30”

Pre-Blast Tuesday 5/10/2022 – Planetarium @ The Boondocks

Back Blast Monday 5/9/2022 – The Silo @ North Posh

It was a cool and calm morning at North Posh…perfect for an up tempo beatdown following the excesses of Derby weekend. Mumblechatter was limited overall but Meter Maid was pretty proud of himself for picking the Derby Trifecta (except he didn’t have the 80-1 winner). Anyway…the PAX in attendance were Viking, Mr. Roper, Backflop, Abacus,ContinueContinue reading “Back Blast Monday 5/9/2022 – The Silo @ North Posh”

Come out with me tomorrow ITGContinueContinue reading “5.10.22 Pre Blast: The Loco @ The County – BigBird Q”

BB- The Nest at the County – 5/7/22 – Derby Themed Rotation- Backflop and Meter Maid CoQ

I can see why the weather people only give a 10 minute weather guarantee in our area. It was not supposed to rain this morning before the Nest. The conditions were 51 degrees with a light rain and wet/sloppy conditions at the Nest track. Backflop and YHC were coQs. We each came with a planContinueContinue reading “BB- The Nest at the County – 5/7/22 – Derby Themed Rotation- Backflop and Meter Maid CoQ”

PB – 05.06.2022 – The Chopper @ Vets

Nothing fancy, just a good old fashioned, “simple, but we don’t get up for easy coupon style beatdown”. I’ll do my best to keep us dry, but I can’t control nature, so no promises made, no promises broken. I heard if you run faster you stay dry, we may test that theory. If the FilliesContinueContinue reading “PB – 05.06.2022 – The Chopper @ Vets”

BB – 5/5/22 – Black Ops Goshen – Swag Q

I have to admit, I was a touch nervous about this one. The chatter indicated several FNGs and PAX were planning to attend…Cinco De Mayo, Thurby, Derby Week. Lots of reasons to make it fun and memorable. I hope we did that today! Also, thanks to Viking and Flexseal for having me out to lead.ContinueContinue reading “BB – 5/5/22 – Black Ops Goshen – Swag Q”

Backblast – 05.05.2022 – Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – Captain Crunchberry Q

Weather – High 50’s low 60’s. With a pretty cool shelf cloud just hanging out. PAX: Dauber, Brown Water, Backflop, Single Source, Bulletin, and me. COP: Started with some SSH just to get the engine going, then a mosey back to the concession stand. Once there, we did some Abe Vigodas, Downward Dog, Kendra Newmans,ContinueContinue reading “Backblast – 05.05.2022 – Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – Captain Crunchberry Q”

PB – 5/5/22 – Black Ops Goshen – Swag Q

Cinco de Mayo, according to Wikipedia, is more popular in the US than Mexico because ‘advertising campaigns by beer, wine and tequila companies’ now help it ‘generate beer sales on par with the Super Bowl’. This popularity of indulging in spirits lines up nicely with what the next few days will bring. The drinks willContinueContinue reading “PB – 5/5/22 – Black Ops Goshen – Swag Q”

BB-May 4th 2022-The Range @ The Patriot

16 HIMs worked hard to reach Jedi status and not succumb to the Dark Side. All I know about Jedi training can be summed in the five minutes or so of film from the Empire Strikes Back. Seemed easy, you lift heavy things, run around a bit, and stay away from the Dark Side. GettingContinueContinue reading “BB-May 4th 2022-The Range @ The Patriot”

MAY THE 4TH 2022 Pre-Blast The Bridge @Poshland – Slide Rule Q

It’s been a long time since I have Q’d outside of the Bay area. Already starting to get the jitters or is that because Jitterbug will be at Posh in the morning? Either way cloudy and 55° is pristine weather for a beatdown. Even though I really want to tryout my new coupon, we willContinueContinue reading “MAY THE 4TH 2022 Pre-Blast The Bridge @Poshland – Slide Rule Q”
