I went to bed last night with a spring in my step and anticipation in my heart - BM was going to Q a killer workout in the morning and it was gonna be awesome. I awoke to a text from him that he was sick and asking if I could fill in. He even [...]
Backblasts
AMRAP for Cupid
Yesterday I was sitting around yesterday at Glynn Middle School watching my daughter's soccer team crush their competition. (Yes, I said crush, they 10-0 mercy rule ended the game early). Just minding my own business when @snowball0302 lights up the mumblechatter on Slack with an invitation to Q Renegade. Just on the drive over to [...]
New Kids on the Block
16 of the best and brightest, including FIVE FNGs, strapped on their big boy pants and emerged from the pre-dawn mist for this week's Ironman The Thang: COP: SSH x 20 Peter Parkers x 15 Parker Peters x 15 Jeff Imperial Walkers x 15 Tempo squats x 10 Tempo merkins x 10 Dolly x 15 [...]
Trip down memory lane
The PAX could thank Loveseat for brining up a past beatdown I Q'd. Well, I tend to do the same type beatdowns because I'm a firm believer of K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid) and I was a card carrying member of the KISS Army in my formative years. COP: consisted of some Side Straddle Hops, [...]
“The path to greatness is along with others.”
Camaraderie. There is no other explanation. No sane reason why a man would leave the comfort of a warm bed at an unhealthy hour to exercise in the cold. It would have been a lot easier to stay inside and sleep a little longer. But being comfortable isn’t what drives men to keep coming back [...]
Comeback Tour
7 fellow pax decided to meet me (literally, meet me for the first time for Organ Donor and Hershey) this AM for a good ole fashion weighted beatdown. It was also the first time that me and Fidget Spinner got to experience some 1F instead of the normal 2F. Good times. With it being Ironman, [...]
Two Years In
Five brave pax gathered in the rain and gloom this morning. We met to take the daily red pill and start the week right by crushing a beatdown with our brothers. I was also motivated to commemorate my two years of F3 workouts. I had originally planned to recreate my first workout - Inmate had [...]
Leaving no man where he started…
I'm not 100% sure about the date, but I think it was about 4:45am on January 12, 2017 when I first kicked myself out of bed and drove to OPES for my first F3 workout. I was one of four FNGs that morning (the other three were, as I recall, Bundy, Stitches and Gatekeeper). And [...]
Tortoise and Hare
Fantastic showing on Saturday morning - 15 of us absolutely got after it (although I missed someone when tagging names). I had originally planned for much of the workout to be done on the beach, but I unfortunately read the tide chart backwards, so instead of absolute low tide it was absolute high tide. But [...]
Leave no man Behind
When I arrived I found Snowball and Seuss already warming up. They thought I was late, and I thought they were just keeping warm! However, turns out they were early as they forgot that El Nantan had changed the time to 5:30. We warmed up with some side straddle hops, and little baby arm circles [...]
