F3 Granite Falls Q School, Part 3
“Wait . . . there is a third part to F3 Q School? I knew about part one, where we discuss the history, structure and reasoning behind the three Fs over a beer or sweet tea. And, of course, the beatdown portion was a no brainer; I knew that was coming. But what is this […]
Hills and Heavy Things
Four pax started this morning’s event, five finished. Pretty good completion rate if you ask me. The Thang 0514- YHC begins giving the disclaimer. 0515- YHC begins backpedaling in the direction of today’s march. 0516- Twig finally gets his ancient, balloon-filled ruck on his back, and we are off. Ruck over to the cinder block […]

The Silent Beatdown
YHC ran up to the Hurler launch point to find several pax stretching, so I began my own little stretch routine. Mercedes rolled in and commented about everyone stretching, then asked who is Qing. I responded, “I am,” to which Mercedes said, “Oh…I better start stretching too.” That was the last bit of conversation I […]
Emerson’s
Everyone changes their mind but I changed the whole workout during the warm up. I’m sure it happens all the time. One Hurler morning our stage hand Mercedes led us down Dudley Shoals road for a complete workout while stopping all each “pole” for an exercise, so we dubbed it the Emerson’s. This hill is […]

Tug of War
Yesterday, I was under instruction by my M to help my 2.3 (Charlie) find a book to read. We were digging through some book shelves and couldn’t find squat that a 10 year old would like. We have a boat load of ones for really young critters by Richard Scary, Dr Seuss, and of course […]
Just a Little AMRAP
I have a confession… I haven’t written a Back Blast in so long I almost forgot how. I still can find my way to the AO’s to get a much needed dose of Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. There are many among us missing out on this great time due to a disease called “Fart-sacking”. GET […]
Fourth of July Convergence
Man what a sight. Hickory’s Clown Car showed up at 6:25’ish and there was a sea of cars already there. That got ole CE’s blood pumping a bit. Lots of flags planted. Plenty of F3 shirts on dudes. Speaking of F3 shirts, it’s apparently time for me to Cut the Stink out of my red […]
