BooBoo DET 2019-03-07
The men of F3 Detention are the finest in F3 Lexington. Period. I was signed up for a birthday Q and wanted to challenge the PAX to post big numbers (even though it was cold). I decided to donate $3 for every PAX that showed up in the gloom at Detention. As soon as this …
EMOM Work at The Shank
Had a fun morning with the men of Shawshank. Been a while since I’ve been their way so it was good to see some familiar faces. After some Stridelite miles were put in, work was done. Here’s how it went: 1 MW with Hash & Rice Notice Lizard’s Man truck is here but he is …
Balmy Bombs Fall on Jumanji
Saw a few weeks ago that a Jumanjian had signed up to Q at Detention so I figured I’d return the favor and head their way on the same day. After a solo Stridelite to my favorite local burger establishment, I was pleased to see a nice crowd of Jumanjians roll in to do some …
Someone Was Louder Than Spackle?
Traveled over to see the men of Graveyard on Thursday morning for some fun. They came out in full force and (mostly) killed the workout. Here’s what we did. 1MW Disclaimer Prayer Mosey into football stadium to press box area 20 Side straddle hops IC (Nail Pop starts jawing about 100 SSH or something) 10 …
963 EMOM at Detention
The men of Detention are just that – big, strong, burly men (probably the bigliest, strongliest, and burliest men of F3 Lexington) – who love a good challenge. So when I stumbled across this workout, I knew they’d be ready to crush it. Spoiler alert: THEY DID. Here’s how it went: 1MW at 5:15, whoops …
Health Inspection at The Hollow
BALMY BOMBS had seen several western AOs so naturally it had to make a trip to The Hollow, where the finest west side PAX reside (allegedly). I knew these beasts would make a run at finishing it and they did not disappoint. Here’s how it went. 1 minute warning Disclaimer Prayer Mosey around the parking …
Boo Boo Birthday at Detention
What better way to celebrate a birthday a day late than by posting with my boys at Detention?

Urban Legend Does Main Street
After some recent workouts at Urban Legend, the best Friday option in all of F3Nation, I wanted to get some more Detainees out there. Argyle was challenging AOs to pick a day to Q together so I threw us on the sheet. Rook stepped up and decided to co-Q with me. Here’s how it went: …
Stride 3/9/20
Hopped on the Q sheet for Stride a while back because what better way to celebrate your birthday than with these dudes! Drew up a really dumb route. I think it scared some people away but seven brave souls put in some work and got better. Here’s the route: *Iron Mary Go Round* Head S …
Things Got Moist at The Arena
The Arena is one of the finer collections of men in Lexington and I always enjoy my time with these guys (except for Notebook). With the threat (guarantee) of rain and wet surfaces as well as some rumblings of a trip to the Waffle House, I made a deal with myself during Stridelite – less …
Ambush Don’t Care Bout No Rain
I was worried the rain was going to keep the men of Ambush in their nice warm beds but they showed up in full force and good thing they did because Thumbs Up was there to award them a shovel flag for the recent cereal drive. We weren’t even one MacGruber shy of anything because …
Balmy Bombs Land at Detention
Had a traveling Q that I wanted to introduce to the men of Detention and encourage a bunch of newer guys to travel around and see new AOs and PAX. The cold weather rolled in the day before so it was guaranteed to be a good time, even though I didn’t wear a hoodie. And …
Bats for Jumanji
Inspired by a recent Saturday visit to Jumanji, I hopped on the sheet to go see these men again soon after that visit. Struggling to come up with any good workout ideas and inspired by the days work activities (a presentation on bats), the men of Jumanji were subjected to some bad puns, an even …
Detention BOMBS for #BrownToast
With no one on the Q sheet for a nice weather Tuesday morning, Bar Crawl was campaigning in the DM group for a Q. With bad intentions in mind, I figured I’d go for it. Here’s what we did: 1 MW Disclaimer Prayer Mosey to basketball court in back 20 SSH IC 10 TTT IC …

Beech House Balmy Bombs
I’ve been trying to get to Beech House for a while now to Q and finally got the chance to make my way out there. Drew up a fun workout to introduce myself to these guys, who really know how to put in the work and provide some solid mumblechatter. Here’s how it went: 1MW …
Detainees Try Out the New Expulsion
A while back the Detainees got talking about remodeling our resident AMRAP course, fondly known as Expulsion. In an effort to fine tune it before F3 Lexington’s favorite event, The Gauntlet, I drew up a new version to toss out to these boys and was eager to see what they had to say about it. …
Uphill Both Ways
Came up with a terrible plan to run to the neighborhood where I grew up as a child for Stride and find every hill in the place. It’s a nice little route with the hills spread out all throughout the route. Here’s the route: https://www.strava.com/routes/23314420 Head N on Hwy 6 Turn R onto Hwy 1 …
Saturdays are for the boys
The men of Detention were either feeling guilty about all they’ve eaten during the holidays, itching for some pain, or just looking to head into 2020 on the right foot cause they started talking about Saturday workouts in the group chat. So we decided to workout (nevermind the trip to McDonalds afterwards) on a Saturday …
12 Days of Shifty Shifty at Graveyard
I enjoyed sleeping in a little before heading over for the 5:30 start with the men of Graveyard. And let me tell you buddy, I needed the extra rest. My feet had no sooner hit the pavement than #Spackle started #Spackling me, as only he can do. I can’t lie, I wore my orange Clemson …
Bring Your Own Guts, I Mean, Burpees
Detention enjoyed a nice little rivalry workout this morning. Fresh off a 38-3 steamrolling of the in-state rival South Carolina Gamecocks , Clemson and the fightin’ Dabos are looking to clinch their 5th consecutive ACC championship, something that has never done before (not even in 1969). We used this morning to celebrate the rivalry and …
Leg Day at The Stand
A while back at a Sausage Factory occurrence at The Stand, there was a plea for guest Qs so I jumped on the sheet when I got home and promptly forgot to write it down anywhere. Fast forward to Monday night and I get a nice Twitter notification that I’m the Q at The Stand! …
Leg Day at Detention
Fake News DM’d me Tuesday hinting at a return to the gloom on Thursday so I struck a deal with him, being the opposing in state university fans that we are. I told Fake News if he did in fact show up, the PAX would be serenaded with some Gamecock tunes. The man delivered and …
Double Loop at Stride
6 PAX heard the rain drops from their beds this morning but decided to get up and get better anyways. T-claps dudes. We made a Mt. Regal/Old Cherokee loop and a Gibson loop, here’s the official route: Head N on Hwy 6 L to continue on Hwy 6, down Mt. Regal R onto Old Cherokee, …
A Visit to Cheryl’s She Shed at The Arena
If you’ve never been to The Arena, please just go so Notebook and Floppy have someone to talk to. Everyone there puts in hard work and those two match it with their mumblechatter efforts. I always have a good time working out with these guys and laugh the entire time. #2ndF is strong with these guys! Here’s …
Ladder Work at Detention
The men of Detention have been showing up in force lately, for both Stridelite and bootcamps. What better way to reward them than a tough workout. Lego said something about burpees being too hard so those had to be incorporated and some ladder workouts lately have been pretty fun so I put something together. Here’s …
The Math Worked Out at Graveyard
Went over to my “home AO” this morning to see how those late sleepers have been faring lately. It seems they’re doing ok! Good to get out and see the men of Graveyard this morning, they put in the work. Here’s what we did. 1 second warning because of post Stridelite Elvis Disclaimer Mosey down …

I’ve been dragging a musical Q around to several different AOs so I decided to switch it up and actually plan something for the men of The Hollow. After doing my best to keep up with the speedy Hollow strideliters, some more dudes showed up and we put in some work and had a great …
Detention Does Things
Had a nice, difficult Q drawn up for a while since the Detainees didn’t like my last rendition that had tunes included. Drew one up shortly afterward that would keep everyone quiet and shut down the mumble chatter. Workout was even harder than I expected, a classic lesson in “if you can’t Q it, don’t …
Surge Gets Thunderstruck (Complete with Pelvic Pulsations)
After seeing a lot of chatter about the somewhat new AO Surge, meeting some of their guys, and seeing their camaraderie at Dam to Dam Relay (a great event BTW), I had to go see what the place was all about. These men did not disappoint. They’ve been posting some serious numbers lately too. Something …

Spackle Danced to Kidz Bop 12
The men of Graveyard always bring an excellent amount of mumblechatter mixed with some friendly banter. If you ever think you have a good weinke, take it by there first and let them have at it. Great to see some familiar as well as unfamiliar faces this morning and try to put in some work …
Learn From Your Mistakes
I recently had a Q at Detention that didn’t go quite as planned. I knew it was a good workout, it just needed some love and attention. After reworking the structure (and the playlist) I was ready to try it again. Took it to the beasts out at The Stand and they crushed it. Here’s …
F3 Detention Completes the Burn for Urn
The men of Detention were looking to start the month of February off with a bang and they did. 14 of them showed up and put in the work this morning to get better. Tardy chattered as always but no one really heard what he said. Blue Rhino aptly named our workout the Burn for Urn (slang …

Jumanji Thanksgiving Prep
YHC puts his name on the Q sheet pretty far in advance and a few months ago knowingly but unknowingly signed up for the Thanksgiving Q at Jumanji. Knowing the amount of food consumption that would occur later that day, YHC showed up with the intent to burn some extra calories with the PAX. Here’s …
Three Rounds of Elevens?
Been on the Q sheet for a while for Shank and haven’t been able to make it there for whatever reasons. Finally made it there and had a good one planned. Things just didn’t go according to said plans. Here’s how it went: Weather: 60s and damp, it was nice 1 MW Disclaimer Warm up …

Boob-oo’s #LazyQ AMRAP at Turning Point
I like to check up on the men of Turning Point every now and then and make sure they’re still following the rules – 1 minute warning, counting in cadence, calling exercises and the intro correctly, the usual stuff. They usually keep me straight. Here’s how it went down this morning. Conditions: nicer than usual …
Hurricane Block Party at Detention
I think the threat of ol’ Florence scared everyone off this morning. A few brave souls showed up in the gloom at Detention to put down a down painment and get better. T-claps to all who defied #Cantore and got better, not just at DET, but all over the region. Here’s what we did this …
1000 BRR Recovery Reps at SnakePit
I’ve been on the Q sheet for SnakePit several times lately and had to cancel for a variety of reasons.

Here’s what we did: 1MW Disclaimer BOM …
#FILLtheSLEEVES
Inspired by the recent activity behind Coach Aaron Feld of University of Oregon athletics and his #fillthesleeves campaign, it was time to teach the PAX how to fill the sleeves.

Boo Boo’s Leg Day at Detention
Hadn’t had a good leg day in a while at the schoolyard. You know, the kind where you can’t hardly walk all day afterwards. Everybody needs that in their life every once in a while. So I brought it to the boys of the ‘yard this morning. We had fun, although the mumblechatter was limited. …

Almost Merlot’d My Own Q
They always say “Only Q what you can do” and we certainly pushed that to the limit this morning. YHC has been slightly under the weather lately and pushed it to the limit this morning, taking the drive home rather slowly after feeling some merlot brewing. Nonetheless, the boys of TP did not let me down. …
Boo Boo’s Boneyard Burpees
Tempted by the promise of a sticker and some potential guest Qs to DET, I decided to see what the men of F3 Boneyard were all about. The mumblechatter started slow and got better the harder we worked. Fun morning on the backside of the RBHS campus! Weather: 70 and slightly humid, real nice 1 …
Boo Boo’s Weinkeless Q at Shawshank
Inspired by the workouts of the Gauntlet, YHC decided to make a few guest Q appearances at AOs all over Lexington in the weeks following. Shawshank would be lucky number one and draw the first spot. I didn’t have huge plans so I got bold and went without a weinke to see how it would …

YHC was privileged to lead the PAX for a VQ in a leg beat-down day, complete with some tree-hugging PLUS an appearance from Kelly (the telephone pole chunk with handles) in homage to my bro Postal’s introduction to her a few months back. Minus an appearance from our AoQ…something about recovering from a gauntlet. Mumblechatter …
Tardy Leads the PAX to Breakfast
Tardy was up to bat for a turn to lead to PAX around the schoolyard. With the promise of breakfast on the horizon, the PAX surely had their mind on other things. It’s a shame Boo Boo missed it while he was in the kitchen! Warm ups- SSH x 20 IC, 2 burpees TTT x …
McDisappointment for the McPAX
