F3 Lexington Backblasts
So to start things off, when going to a new AO that you’ve never been to before…maybe scout it out, verify where they start. It’ll help out so you don’t get lost in the pick up/drop off maze of a school and then another school. All of this while the pax look at you from …
This was YHC’s first trip to Graveyard and he wasn’t disappointed. Although some PAX were missing due to the Gauntlet some of Graveyard’s finest posted for a beatdown.

WEATHER: 38 and (thankfully) no wind THE DEAL: Day two of the 2018 Gauntlet featured 41 (mostly returning) PAX who were definitely feeling the repercussions of the previous day’s visit to the Viper. This morning’s challenge was no walk in the park. Many made their first (but hopefully not last) visit to the Kamikaze. We …

Its been some time since YHC had the privilege of leading the Smokehouse pax and it was great to feel a little Q-drenaline pumping through the veins on this last cold morning (or so i hope) before spring/summer makes the long awaited return to the gloom. Viper yesterday on day 1 of The Gauntlet so …
YHC arrived at CAT about 15 minutes early to find Overage already in the parking lot eagerly anticipating the beginning of bootcamp. One by one the pax rolled in. Every man, including YHC, complained about the 38 degree start (or was it 36… maybe 32… there were reports of ice on cars). I hope someone …

There’s always a good turnout of hard-working PAX at The Hollow, and this was no exception.

I packed my …
18 Pax posted a Snakepit’s football stadium for a “spring game” of Ultimate Frisbee. The teams divided up into two fairly equal sides and played a fast pace, full field version of our normal Saturday ultimate. Once again there were highlights and low lights a-plenty, but if you have any doubts about whether you can …
Was a beautiful morning at Spur, and still a beautiful morning at Finlay Park. Sun starting to beat down around this time. And, Findlay Park was full of people from Bark in the Park. So we attempted to stay out of there way. Except the little terrier with sunglasses. We had to play with him. …
It was a beautiful morning. A lot of pax were running the 10 miler. So only two of us posted. I must say Big Worm is a deceiver! A positive one. He doesn’t look like he could, but he is a beast and can put it on you. I, myself, was not expecting a brutal …
One of YHC’s first Cryptonite posts was a Fracture Q which was a circuit of 5 stations, multiple exercises, burpees, and running. This was and continues to be one of the hardest posts for YHC and has reaffirmed that the workouts do not get easier you just get stronger. This was also the first post …
8 men decided that sleeping in on a perfect Saturday morning was for suckas. They wanted to sharpen some iron, and they did just that. These men hit it hard and took everything YHC threw at them.

QIC was not feeling 100% but that was nothing that a Block Party and some good tunes couldn’t cure. It is always great to lead this group, my group of guys. Great to see Tumbler back in the gloom.

It has been a while since YHC has bee to visit the Detention Pax and they have obviously been busy with the EHing as an impressive 20 pax turned out to greet YHC this morning. Not wanting to disappoint, YHC tailored one of my standard workouts to only allow the plank position as the only …

YHC was thrilled to see 13 PAX show up this morning.

11 PAX posted at Shawshank this morning for some block work and Gauntlet prep. It seemed like we spent most of the time holding blocks overhead, a la the movie Say Anything with John Cusack and his boom box playing “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel.

Weather: 50 degrees, damp YHC has worked out at the Arena several times, but today was my first opportunity to be the Q.

Conditions: Cloudy and a balmy 60 degrees (for a change) with a threat of rain. With a full circle of Respect, YHC knew the Burpee was held in high regard at Boneyard, and of course Reaper Hill is something that has to be taken into consideration, so thought a Burpee Mile would be a good challenge. …
This year’s Gauntlet will take F3 Lexington’s ultimate week-long CSAUP event and double it in an “Old School” vs. “New School” beatdown that’s got to be experienced to be believed.

12 pax met at the Bluff on Friday for a rousing game of Soccer. We even brought a new guy to clash (not new to F3) and a FNG. The problem with the Bluff is that it’s dark. Knowing who is on which team is tricky at best, despite pennies. Maybe we should buy some …
Moist TM posted on the chat that we needed a Q, 2 men HC’d not knowing of the other. Friday conversations made the plan fall in place.

An even 12 Pax posted at the pit on a overcast warm saturday for a very fast paced edition of ultimate Frisbee. There were highlights and lowlights all around, and the teams were so evenly matched that several times towards the 8 am hour the call was made “one more time.” The Pax ran hard, …

As the message board reached a fever pitch on a Thursday night, YHC knew a fartlek was in store.

YHC had to improvise his Weinke today. It’s true, this happens to many of us when we decide to Q, but this wasn’t because YHC forgot his plan. Nope, one of our senior leaders decided to run more after Stride lite and did not come back for BC, which is completely out of character for …

The world’s best teed off at Augusta National this morning. The golfers did, too. 9 members of The Herd joined YHC for a 9-hole mosey this AM. We turned the Howard Park parking lot into the front 9 of Augusta National. The longer the hole, the longer we ran and the more work was done. …
There is one thing to ultimately say here to sum it all up. WE GOT AN FNG AND HIS NAME AIN’T COOTER IT IS COOTIE! (Hey that rhymes) Okay, I’m collected, back to the task. YHC had some issues he cried about last week and couldn’t make it to post. WAH WAH TRIPLE WAH MY …

*****Posted on behalf of Icarus***** So YHC came to this Q thinking that we could run around a school with a block on our shoulders shoulder.

YHC got a text yesterday from Caddyshack asking what today’s workout looked like. Of course I told him it’d be easy. A little later I wondered if he had Q’ed before, so asked if he’d like to lead part of the workout. It didn’t take him long to reply with some exercises he would do. The …
After the P200 and then Caboose’s leg destruction from Tuesday the pax were all in agreement that the legs needed some sympathy this morning.

The week after a #CSAUP event is always a weird week, and a little challenging to Q. You never know how the pax are feeling. You know their minds and bodies are tired and beaten, but the pax of F3 Lexington are NEVER defeated. You see the looks on their faces during those moments when you …

The Grinder was up for this morning. After the P200 and much chatter about Brita and his running to some good jams, the pax asked him to bring whatever music he listened to while running. ICYMI, Brita crushed the P200. His last leg was epic. YHC cannot explain it, but you should have been there. …

YHC was honored to have the first Smokehouse Q after several of the PAX returned from fielding an all-Smokehouse team at the P200. Running with these men was a wonderful experience.

Fresh off the P200, YHC made his first visit to Surge this morning to pay a visit to one of Lexington’s new AO’s. Not sure if 6 months is still “new”, but for the purposes of this BB it will be. After many delays and schedule conflicts, the opportunity finally came around to lead this …
A few weeks back while discussing YHC handing off the Shovel Flag at CAT, Ken Doll asked me if I had any plans for today’s date. A quick peek at the calendar revealed nothing, and I replied as such. Ken Doll then informed me I would be Q’ing at Shawshank today. YHC didn’t think much …
Being YHC’s 2nd Q ever, the detainees must have been in the mood for a surprise, and I hope they didn’t leave disappointed. The mumble chatter was strong as early as the 2nd lap around the parking lot, and it barely subsided the entire WO. The crowd pleaser (I hope) were the hydraulic squats …

6 PAX didn’t let cold temps keep them in the fartsack for the first Thursday spring morning. Always nice to hangout with the boyz at Hollow. While my home AO (Ambush) was working the abs at Waffle House, the 6 of us sculpted our upper bodies for the gun show later this summer. Good push …
YHC has been wanting to visit C.A.T for awhile and has not been able to “find the time” to get over there. What better way than to sign up to Q! YHC wanted to keep it P200 “friendly” so minimal strain and stress was put on the lower body. YHC can’t say the same about …
WEATHER Easy Breezy…well maybe just breezy YHC wanted to ensure I was motivated to get one more solid run in before the challenge that is the P200. Since the word “taper” has been very popular YHC wanted to ensure all pax had the option to taper to their desired level. I would post the 6.27 …
