Rocks Ad Nauseum

12.5 PAX and 2.5 IR PAX assembled at FOD for another round with Beaker - you know who you are Fifty-Fifty. I’ve had in mind to run a Q that hopped from rock pile to rock pile throughout a site, and today seemed as good as any to try it out. The Warm-Up (Beaker’s Beginnings) Jog up to the West FOD entrance where there is a Rock Pile 1 comprised of little baby one-handed rocks. [Read More]

My name is Nature Boy - I only Q every 14 months so plan on me again for end of May 2019. Consequently I don't know how to post backblasts and I think other people should do it for me.

F3 Nature Boy Qing 3 April 2018 Tuesday This Fine Tuesday morning started hellos all around. Kilmer showed for NB Q 2.5.

Back Home Again

Thanks to the wizardry of @hotspot and his weekly Q summaries, I noticed that my beloved FOD had no Q for the week. Having just come off the TR run, it was time to get back on the Q wagon, and here was the perfect opportunity. Let’s see what Ma Bell dialed up on 3/27/18 First, @pbx and @skyblue and YHC ran in per our usual route, arriving in time for the customary fist bumps and pre-workout mumble chatter. [Read More]

I was psyched to jump back into the Q game for the first time since Gus was born… and today’s A-Team spot was wide open in the middle of last week. Couldn’t let Hotspot see that when he pulled his weekly summary, so I jumped all over it. This was my least-planned Q to-date - which did positive work for my stress-levels over the weekend and helped the time management of the workout. [Read More]
