Back Blasts
Check out what’s going on in the region
The Dreadnought
YHC showed up early to walk over the grounds and check the gates and put up a few cones and check the Bleachers before the pax arrived. Misty, Flip Ova and YHC showed up for the standard we had just enough time to get it 2+ miles . 3 minutes and 1 minute was given...
QAR Back Blast “If you don’t like the weather, just wait”
The saying still holds true, if you don't like the weather in NC, just wait as it will change really soon. This morning was no different. I was at Rotary last Thursday after the second snow storm and Steamer led an awesome workout in the snow and my fingers finally...
Take me home, country roads…
Started off with proper F3 intro and started to mosy when it dawned on me I had missed the mission statement. Quick halt to get that in. Mosy from Parking lot around the "Tree of Life" Warmerama Hillbilly IC*10 Cotton Pickers IC*10 Cherry Pickers IC*10 Windmill IC*10...
The Boondocks 500
YHC was a little nervous for this Q as it was a little out of the ordinary and he wasn't sure on timing, ability or if the PAX would be willing to partake. He knew he needed at least 6 to beat the fartsack for it to work and with only 2 HC's and an FNG he was only up...
Jack Webbs in the snow
YHC stepped outside at 4:30am to see the ground covered in a couple of inches of snow. Misty was on the Q and it was determined that it would not be safe for him to come over the bridge so I was given some guidance as to what his workout entailed and YHC gladly took...
The Table Setter Back Blast 1-22-2017: Hanging with Jack
The Table Setter is intended to be the venue which begins the PAX week off on a positive and high note, given the past couple weeks weather today was a day to get things back on track and to set a high bar for the week to come! We gathered as usual at the Sanitary...
EHing guys for CoopStrong
Its Monday in the Western end of Carteret County and that means it is time to start F3 for another week and meet the guys for a run. I was excited to see that 5 other men wanted to join me in starting our week off right. We did not waste time and I could tell these...
Double book fill-in at the Knarr
Returning from a little reconnaissance run around Fort Benjamin,YHC was pleased with the turnout at the knarr this morning, as nine men stood in the gloom. Knowing that shoulders are YHC’s weak spot, the challenge was on for that to be the focus of today’s workout. A...
Hanz and Franz were supposed to be here to pump you up! Well, they didn’t beat the fart sack.
YHC awoke to find a beautiful tempered morning with almost no wind! I can't remember the last time that it wasn't blowing a gale at Big Rock Landing. Arrived to find Immigrant already in the parking lot, Wilson shortly following. The men started to meander in as the 5...
Go west young man
Maytag put out a request for someone to take his place on the Q for the Field of Dreams several weeks ago. I figured, what the heck, I haven't ventured west of The Knarr in a while and it will be nice to see what those westerners have been up to these many months. ...
Ice Stampede
Beaufort had a record of four AO'S this week which is unprecedented, but not unexpected. The coolest small town had risen from the ashes after being left for dead. Beaufort truly rules. With the town sporting a new record, a new restaurant, and a new bridge, nine...
Pickle Poundn’ at The Hashmark
Some of the Pax were there bright and early this morning. It was great to see that Jigawatt came out again today, and made the drive into “the big city”. We thought we were going to start with 6 pax, and that Pasquale hit the snooze button again. But, we saw...
Helping Others Achieve
We started this temporary AO to help each other train or achieve goals and that is what we did today. I arrived early to do my 3/4 mile warm up as I have figured out that I have reached the age that these joints need a little greasing before the actual run. Upon my...
Snow Ruck
The Thang PAX were ready to Ruck the snow and ice this morning first thing. Fortunately for us the bike path from Glad Tidings Eastbound was clear and dry. Bridges still were covered, but no big deal. Rucked 5 minutes then warmerama: Cotton pickers IC x10 Windmill IC...
ONE ON ONE
A winter wonderland greeted YHC as I rolled to a different AO. The parking lot was covered with more ice than snow, so an Omaha of the original workout was done in my mind. Wilson HC’s the night before but I wasn’t expecting him. YHC eventually saw headlights...
