Happy Hawg Day

Brrrrr….  YHC woke up to a delightfully crisp 46 degree morning.  Today is YHC’s 1 year anniversary with F3 (thanks again to Bogey and Heisenberg for dragging me out), and its been a great year.  I’ve enjoyed the camaraderie, the workouts, the inspiration.  Thank you NOLA F3 Nation. For todays 1-year …

Let’s Get It Baby

I love posting with Marlin, because he always knows the exact moment any of us needs encouragement.  It comes about four-fifths the way through 11s, when for the 16th time you are picking up a rock that you now realize is way too big for you and you are trying …

Rock n Roll

Another beautiful Monday morning for beat down. Ten men showed up to grow and get stronger, including 1 FNG. The Warmup COP: -SSH x 30 IC -IW x 30 IC -PP x 20 IC -Arm Circles x 30 IC (15 ea. dir.) -J-Lo’s x 20 IC …grab your rock….oh wait, …

Classic Shorty

Come to enough F3 workouts and you will start to get a good feel for the PAX.  Almost getting hit by a bike – classic Hawg.  Annoying the Q with a gazillion questions about each movement – classic Rudy.  Rolling in hot – classic Yankee.  Dr. Ws – classic SFx. …

DS Awareness Workout

Four (and a half) Rock City die-hards posted at Pontiff this am to better our bodies and minds.  Light showing….rumor had it some of the regulars opted for the pillow fight at the Skinny.  Rudy wanted to get some miles in for the Jazz half so he beat the PAX …

Ruckers and Rudy

Sorry for the late Backblast for all those involved.  4 men met in the 0530 gloom as Rudy, who had been there since 0500, literally ran circles around us. The Thang No time to warm-up.  The four of us headed out with three rucks to the south playground.  The workout …

The Spartacus Thriller

As some of us continue our training for the GoRuck, the rest get to train along with us. Six of us followed the normal protocol while Rudy modified and ran the whole time as he is training for a Half Marathon. Warm-up COP: -SSH x 20 IC -IW x 20 …

Sandbaggin’

GoRuck Training Day 5 called for sandbags.  Since Mike Yenni has bigger concerns to worry about, YHC didn’t check his permission before picking up 6 sandbags from Lowe’s and storing them at Pontiff Playground.  Amnesty was the scheduled Q, but was deployed for Hurricane Matthew support.  T-claps to HVAC for …

Partner Ruckin

YHC, Bogey and Rudy gathered around the flag about 5mins til start….and then Rudy left.  Why did he leave?  Maybe he was finding Pokemon…maybe he was avoiding the 2-3 record of the Irish… maybe Cowbell called him and said not to go (Cowbell texted at 5am and told me he …

Other People’s Rocks

YHC awoke to another flat tire on my bike.  As I was walking to Pontiff, Marlin zipped by me on his way to meet up with Tool and Amnesty.  Not long after I arrived, JV came over the levee, guns blazing.  I gave the disclaimer and then it was off …
