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

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 …

Ups and Downs

“I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.” Leonardo da Vinci Five’s a great number because it’s more than four and less than six. We have five fingers on a hand, right. Five toes on a foot, right? Confucius …

Spartacus 2/3s

Seven men arrived at the Virtual Shovel-Flag (VSF) because of the seven SFs that exist in F3 Nola, they remain forgotten at home. Apparently everyone who Q’s needs to have their own SF and bring it with them……..WHERE ARE ALL THE SHOVEL-FLAGS????? DISCLAIMER…let’s mosey. Warm-up COP: SSH x 30 IC …
