F3 Lexington Backblasts
There was a call from F3Nation to support our F3 brother Nomad who recently lost his 5 month old son Hudson. Read about it here… https://twitter.com/F3NWArkansas/status/1316027761660628996 So we completed the tribute challenge today for support of Nomad and his family. 8 PAX from several AOs were in attendance. Weather was chilly but that quickly changed …
12 pax posted for a wet and muddy game of Froccer under the lights at Riverland Hills Baptist Church. Although today would normally be a soccer day at Clash, YHC took the Q and decided to let the pax decide. A vote was held and frisbee won the day. Great times this morning and the …
Weather Conditions: 68° 5 Pax took the DRP and stepped up to face whatever challenge was thrown their way. The plan was to roll out an old favorite with a few variations to keep things fresh. As expected the Pax crushed it and probably wished the counts would have been doubled to make things even …
13 men of distinction posted for the second installment of Old / New October at The Hollow, which pairs an “old school” pax with one of the newer guys for a co-Q experience. The conditions were perfect, effort was spot-on and the mumblechatter was top-shelf, as expected. Good times were had by all. Looking for …
Amphitheaters are tiered structures designed to present theatrical or sporting events. Today, in Lexington, the Icehouse Amphitheater hosted events of each source. The cast performed their roles professionally and with great dignity. The director left much to be desired. Shakespeare said all the world is a stage…well, Lexington is our stage. Marcus Aurelius asked, “Are …
8 pax posted for some Thursday Morning work at Turning Point. YHC needed some simplicity, so simple was the plan. Sweat was broken and work was done. Conditions: Foggy – 60 ℉ (Felt like – 61 ℉), 100% Humidity, 2.8 mi/h SE wind Disclaimer/Prayer Mozey to the back staff lot for COP: SSH x 10 IC …
9 Pax posted to Graveyard for a misty morning hill tour without blocks. We didn’t carry blocks but we did get in plenty of Merkins! And Squats, and some LBCs. It must have been a while since YHC has been to Graveyard since YHC received several “Welcome” greetings from the PAX indicating YHC must now …
The men of Surge welcomed YHC for Campaign Q #19. This AM’s proud #WarDaddy decided to stick with a proven block workout rather than get creative. Keychain chose Classic Rock.

6 Pax Posted to Turning Point for a surprise Canseco Block Party. Weather was 67 degrees and partly cloudy. YHC had just celebrated his 47th birthday on Saturday while at the beach with family for 2.0’s softball tournament. The least YHC could do after a nice long weekend get away, was to bring some pain …

Lego put the call out for a Q and YHC responded…primarily because I did not want a Lego leg Q. Lego is a scary dude. He and Lizard Man hit stride lite before the workout. These 2 men put in solid work before our party time began. YHC pulled in the parking lot and breathed …

Conditions: Dark, 68 degrees and 97% humidity, low UV rating It has been too long since YHC has posted to Jumanji but always enjoy the HERD, there was an opening on the Q schedule so the opportunity was seized. With that comes the responsibility to help the HERD get better, so I have spent some …

Good times at The Bounty today. YHC wasn’t able to finish after pulling a hammy during the last 100m of the 2 mile warm-up, but the guys still got after it for another mile. Great work to everyone. The Gauntlet starts next week, but The Bounty is still meeting, so post somewhere. Here’s how it …

With no one signed up on the Q sheet a game of UF was offered to entice some posts. Disclaimer given promptly at 6 followed by prayer and moseyed to the field. Field set up was much faster without the light up cones, but boundaries ended up being more of a suggestion than a rule. …
Checked Python off the very short list of F3LexSC AO’s YHC has not made it to. Good swinging some bells with these men. This was #CampaignQ #15 of 29 in 48 days. This AM was 7 days in a row. Getting tired. Below is your recap: Conditions: 70 degrees, misty, humid The Thang: Disclaimer BOM …

After a two-week break from Clash, 9 PAX posted for a comfortable game of froccer. Last week there was confusion on if Clash was going to resume with soccer or frisbee, so with 9 PAX posting, Froccer seemed like to best choice, and it allowed for a great game. Team 1 consisted of Steel Toe, …
Weekend Special was kind of enough to let YHC lead The Reaper this AM. The Reaper remains, IMO, the best AMRAP we have in the region. Cemetery Hill is always a killer but then you add the work. Form matters so YHC changed the exercises for form focus. Instead of merkins and LBCs, we did …

Perfect weather conditions and an anniversary meant big numbers for Surge today. We got like 9 stars. Twerk and YHC met for about 90 minutes on Tuesday to set this one up (ok we had a beer or two also). Twerk had recently participated in the 9/11 challenge at Smokehouse and had an idea to …
YHC had originally taken the Q because I was expecting an FNG to come that morning. I turned down a Cryptonite Murph for this day, but had already commited to the Q weeks prior. My original plan was to run a bootcamp but was easily swayed by Canseco to do some UF. The reason was …
Campaign Q #12 and EMOMs showed up at Boneyard this AM. Always a good time with these men. No group works harder. AOQ New Helmet chose 80s Rock as the soundtrack for this workout. Below are the details: Conditions: 60s The Thang: Disclaimer BOM Slowsey to grab a block COP TTT x 10 IC Hillbillies …
YHC pushed his Saturday morning Q out to this Thursday due to technical difficulties that following Saturday with my FNG. It was the perfect amount of work for the 45 minutes we had.

The Hollow has had several new PAX over the past couple of months. YHC thought that one way to encourage the “new” guys to lead a workout out would be to get “old” guys to pair up with them and coQ together. We managed to fill in 4 or 5 open slots in October doing …
5 pax consumed the DRP and made a good showing at CAT. 4 are regulars of this fine AO while 1 (YHC) hails from a far away AO a solid 10 minutes away. So, the alarm was set a little earlier than normal for the early start. The fun began during SL when YHC used …
YHC was tired today and the 5am bell that rang for the BeechHouse Q was not so welcome. However, when the lights came on, it was time to put work in, ready or not. That’s the good thing about being the Q, you HAVE to be there. While YHC wasn’t ready, we gave it a …

After a nice stretch of filled Q sheet I grabbed the opening this morning. With one single HC received the evening before it was anyone’s guess how many pax would beat the fartsack this morning. The weather was cool in the low 50s. At a few minutes before 5 the pax began streaming in. At …

It was another great time today at Shawshank! The air was crisp, the sky was clear, and the ground was wet, it was perfect. Buzzsaw, he’s the nice one, showed up for most of the workout. Then, Uncle Ron, he’s the mean one, showed up at the end because YHC’s form sucked. That’s to be …

The men of Shawshank did work in the wet grass, under a full moon, serenaded by Pearl Jam. Some of the mumblechatter hit but, like the Braves and Reds hitters in Game 1, most missed.
