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 [...]

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

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, [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Iron Man without a plan
Six pax met in the gloom this am. We got after it. “jack trio” warmup - 25x IC of side straddle hop, then seal jacks, then plank jacks. Supersets 7x IC (14 reps) each of curb merkins, decline merkins, flapjack curb merkins, and incline merkins. 20x IC weighted tempo squats, 15x IC regular squats, 10x [...]
Bundy’s Better-Late-Than-Never, TEOTWAWKI/Zombie Apocalypse Halloween Survivalist Prep Spectacular (yes, I know this is a month late…but humor me….)
The weather this morning was cool and perfect. The grass was damp. The dark enveloped us with the chilling embrace of a sinister stranger. It was a great day to sharpen some iron. There’s no better time than the present because you never really know when the undead will rise, the zombies will walk among [...]
48 Ways to Celebrate
Today, November 6, is my 48th birthday. I've only been coming to F3 SSI for a couple of months and have avoided Q'ing my first workout - but I decided that a valiant attempt to Q my first workout would be a noble way to begin my 49th year of life on this rock. Although [...]
