Back Blasts
Check out what’s going on in the region
Leg Day
Hammy was scheduled to Q this morning but YHC fears we may have lost him (at least temporarily) the fartsack boogeyman. Q was not late this morning but arrived to Western Carteret General Hospital to find our newest PAX, Canary and Uncle Rico waiting to post for their...
Who do you call when a transformer blows near your home???!! FLIP OVA!!!
YHC was putting on his shoes when a text from Whinnie came through at 5:12 that he would not make it due to a transformer blowing in his neighborhood. I am not sure how the text went through but his truck wouldn’t run......👀👀👀....YHC was more than happy to step in and...
The #HorseShoe Returns
Wintertime temperatures descended upon Carterico today after a warm break last week. However, we avoided the rain that usually hits on Tuesdays here. Rain got us yesterday and that caused YHC much concern as to the field status this morning. We were not going to pound...
M&Ms are my Favorite Birthday Treat
YHC realized that I would probably be a bit groggy this morning due to the M taking me out for my Birthday the night before, so woke up a little early to workout the cobwebs. Our western group had put in several miles at a time and they had done a lot of merkins, but...
Bodies Hit the Floor
Ron Burgundy must have gotten an extra hour of sleep, he was a little feisty this morning. But I was determined to break him like a wild stallion. After a count down to the hard start, no FNGs were identified, Mission Statement was spout out and we were off to a...
A Birthday Stroll
YHC was excited to be up on this day to celebrate another year the Lord has blessed me with and more opportunity to get others to drink the F3 Koolaide. I arrived about 5:20 with several guys already there and 2 new faces. One was Canary that made his second...
Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
"This story shall the good man teach his son, and Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered, We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today that sheds his blood with me Shall be my...
Having not made the trekk to Newport YHC decided it was as good a time as any to go west’ard and After being on island time for 2 weeks I’m not gonna lie getting up early has been a challenge. But I arose bright eyed and bushy tailed for today’s workout. Iron does...
2 Bands In The Streets
Weather was perfect for this fine Monday morning to post, and YHC was hoping for a great turnout. As I ventured down to Big Rock Landing, I started replaying in my mind what I had planned and was hoping it would deliver what was needed. Round the corner by Olympus...
Carolina Dreamin’
Thanks to Laettner's campaigning we had an awesome turn out Field of Dreams. YHC was pretty nervous as the clock was nearing hard start and a sea of vehicles continued to arrive. With a hard start the F3 Mission was butchered, an FNG was introduced, and a disclaimer...
Hero Patriot 02.24.18
Today was a great day for the Hero with perfect conditions and 10 strong men who came out to get better. It was also great to have a FNG, Mahindra, that came out this morning for the first time. We warmed up with 20 SSH, Windmills, cotton pickers, sun gods, reverse...
Long Overdue
Long Overdue refers to the delay in posting this backblast as well as the fact that this was my first Ruck. The Pax gathered at the gated entrance to Croatan Forest on VFW Rd in Cedar Point. My plan was to go for distance and to try and push the pace. After a solid...
Tire Burpees are fun!
YHC pulled up early to check out the quantity and quality of the tires available for today's activities, and chose three of the largest sizes, extra large, large and super sized. More on this later. Returning to the parking lot, the cast of regulars had assembled with...
Merkins and Bear Crawls and Burpees, OH MY!!
YHC arrived at the sacred ground of Rotary Park a little early to take the time to clear the perimeter of trip wires, Claymores, punji pits, or any other booby traps the local hooligans may have planted in order to deter this group of hard-chargers. Apparently the...
And the Gangs All Here…..
Busy week and sleep deprived, I decided to get over to the Dock House AO early and soak in some fresh air on the waterfront while stretching a bit. Low and behold, headlights start appearing and here come the PAX! Good morning Life Alert, then Graco, Laettner from the...
