To those of you that know what an L7 weenie is…you’re cool. To those that don’t…you’d be a lot cooler if you did. No worries if you’re one of the latter cuz you can come out to The Patriot tomorrow ITG at 0530 and learn how bada$$ being a weenie can be. We’ll run someContinueContinue reading “11.20.23 PreBlast: The Minuteman @ The Patriot – BigBird Q”

Eat a good meal, put your gearlander out, set your alarm clocks and get some rest. When you wake up at zero dark whatever, you’ve got options all over the place to get out and get better. If your choice is at The O, which I hope it is, you’ll be rewarded with some running,ContinueContinue reading “11.16.23 PreBlast: The Temple of Gloom @ The O – BigBird Q”

What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me? I wouldn’t even worry about that with our group. We’re here for each other through the ups and downs; to celebrate successes and navigate through troubled times. Tomorrow ITG, we’ll make it by with a littleContinueContinue reading “11.9.23 PreBlast: The Moonshiner @ The Boondocks – BigBird Q”

I’ve had a few Ghost Q’s in my day but none have been this close to Halloween. I think this time of year is so cool. In the days leading up to this holiday, it’s a chance for people become someone or something else, if only for a short while. The music, the movies, theContinueContinue reading “10.28.23 Ghost Q @ The O: BackBlast”

Theme: check. Intense, creepy, rubber, clown mask: check. Speaker for two songs (one macabre and one that’ll make you go insane) that would be played “in loop,” check. Hype blast on Slack advertising why one should visit the County for the Ghost Q…well, check, I guess…at least you knew that Meter Maid wasn’t going toContinueContinue reading “10.25.23 Back Blast: The Foundry @ The County – Ghost Q week”

It’s cool how sometimes you are put in the right place, with the right people and at the right time. On September 8th Finkle and I are on a 1st time phone conversation discussing an F3 PAX (T-Rex) who is up in Cinci and was looking for some help moving his parents down here inContinueContinue reading “10.11.2023 BackBlast: origin story and beatdown at BO at Tyler Park”

F3 is a Starfish. Each appendage of a Starfish is self-sufficient. If cutoff, it grows into a Starfish of its own. The Starfish then grows a new appendage. It’s been an honor to witness the spawning of this new AO. It’s a cool story that has been quick to be conceived while at the sameContinueContinue reading “10.11.2023 1st ever Tyler Park beatdown PreBlast – BigBird Q”

It’s been entirely too long since I’ve had the Q at The Hawk’s Nest…wait a minute….I’ve never Q’d at the Hawks Nest. Regardless, it’s been too long. Due to the aforementioned comment, it was time! I asked Vincent if he had any openings and this day would be that day. Preblast sent out the dayContinueContinue reading “9.26.23 Backblast: The Hawks Nest”

Home is where you come to nest. Unless of course where you nest isn’t necessarily where you call home. It’s more like a winter home where you go to fly south for…unless of course you aren’t really flying that far south but you are still going south. And it isn’t winter yet and even ifContinueContinue reading “9.26.23 PreBlast: BigBird’s VQ at The Hawk’s Nest”

I apologize for the lack of a pre blast. I am still getting the hang of F3 and slowly figuring things out. It was my VQ and started off with a pre-workout run at 5:00 am with PCI, Kitty Litter, Davito and I getting a few miles in. I did the run to get someContinueContinue reading “Backblast – Loco @ The County – McStuffins VQ 9/19/2023”

Dear Cochran… I choose you. And I will choose you over and over and over again, without pause, without a doubt. In a heartbeat, I will keep choosing you and I’d choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality. I’d find you and I’d choose you. You willContinueContinue reading “9.16.23 PreBlast: BigBird & Cochran co-Q – 6 year Postiversary @ The Nest”

I thought Pelican would be happy with me. I felt inspired to hold an F3 on 3 basketball practice Q in preparation for this weekend’s tournament (beginning promptly at 0600 – of course after teams are decided and rules discussed). I felt sure that he would be in attendance and give me the first niceContinueContinue reading “Back Blast: 8.15.23 The Loco @ The County”

Much like Jolly, I’m a sucker for a callout. And when OG Methane asks you to sign up, the answer is always a “fo sho.” I don’t know if I’m more excited to lay one down at the poshiest of all lands or to enjoy some Methane, post workout Java. Tomorrow we’ll bear crawl, Tabata,ContinueContinue reading “8.16.23 PreBlast: The Bridge @ Posh – BigBird Q”

The F3 on 3 basketball tournament is coming up this Saturday. This can mean only 2 things: 1) It’s the most wonderful time of year for Pelican. 2) We only have 4 days to turn ourselves from average Joe’s into superstars. Tomorrow, ITG, we will get comfortable with the rims to give us some homeContinueContinue reading “8.15.23 Pre Blast: The Loco @ The County – BigBird Q”

Wienke was planned. Playlist was solid-ish. HC’s were coming in so I was sure we’d have a strong turnout. Then…Mother Nature put a kink in the mix. I was up at 0200 from storms and a terrified k-9. The again at 0400 for a rinse and repeat. I was woken up for the last timeContinueContinue reading “8.7.23 BackBlast: BO @ Pleasantville”

Conditions: Surprisingly Dry PAX:  Jimmy Neutron Natty Lite Pumpkin Spice (QIC) WARMORAMA The deluge and thunder paused in order for us to get our workout off to a dry start. Heat lightening was our light to start the morning. The PAX moseyed this way and that before returning to the Startex for Warmorama. SSH xContinueContinue reading “Backblast — 08/07/23 — North Posh”

The days of the week that are best to get out and post are any days that end with “Y.” And there is no better day than a Monday! It sets the tone for the week. When you start your week in this fashion, the possibilities seem to magically open up, helping your perspective toContinueContinue reading “8.7.23 PreBlast: BlackOps @ Pleasantville – BigBird Q”

The concept of this workout would be simple. The Colonel William Oldham statue and the area surrounding it is under construction. That space is off limits for now. What is available, is the stretch of road on Main St. And smack dab in the middle is 2nd St (aka Heartbreak Hill). YHC figured this toContinueContinue reading “7.26.23 Backblast: The Range @ The Patriot”

I imagine Slide Rule to be very organized and somewhat of a perfectionist in his personal life. For a dude not yet in his 30’s he seems pretty well put together and wise beyond his years. He takes his duties seriously and when it comes to filling up the calendar for his Thursday beatdowns, earlyContinueContinue reading “7.20.23 Back Blast: The Big Kapowski @ Bayside”

Teammates Tried Tactfully and Tenaciously To Tackle Terrible Tasks Together!! Tell Methane that I didn’t have ChatGPT help me out with this bit of alliteration. I did it all on my own! Yankovic likes to celebrate things so tomorrow we will celebrate the letter “T”….even though tomorrow is Wednesday and not historically the best dayContinueContinue reading “7.26.23 PreBlast: The Range @ The Patriot – BigBird Q”
