Webs at Bermuda Triangle for anniversary celebrations
First time out at the Bermuda Triangle, longer drive than usual but it was totally worth it, good to see new faces out in the gloom. Today marks my 2nd anniversary with F3 Nation and it's also the first anniversary of…

Buddies and Bells
I've definitely had my fair share of Q's at this point, but I still get a little nervous before each and every one, not out of fear, but desire to give everyone a good workout. The PAX trust me with their time and I…

Bringing the Pain to Crows Nest
Having never been to Crows Nest before, YHC arrived at 0445 to get the lay of the land. It gave me some time to get a few things setup and wait for the Pax to arrive. Temp was around 73. Folks started arriving by 5:10…

If Wilt Chamberlain met Nicole (well he probably did)
It was cool morning and 11 showed up for my Q at the Abyss. I gave a brief but full disclaimer. We did a fast mosey, because they don't always have to be slow (I picked this up from a Backblast where Duck Dynasty…

Time to Get Some at Bermuda Triangle
It was only a matter of time until I was called to the deep uncharted territories of Lake Wylie, somewhere they call the Bermuda Triangle. Olaf was nice enough to keep me company and take the 25 min ride from Lake Ridge…

Ladders everywhere at Crows Nest
I'm very ready to be done with the cold. Another day below 50 degrees, but we warmed up pretty fast. At 5:15 we had 7 guys ready to start their week right. Disclaimer and GO! Dynamic warm-up going behind the school High…

Incentive
Spring is definitely here and so were 11 PAX ready to push themselves at the Crows Nest. After giving a quick disclaimer we took the long mosey around to the back of the school where we circled up for a QUICK warm up. …

Constant Movement @ Crow's Nest
A week late... but it's here! (I don't remember everything... this was my first Q without writing stuff down and just going with the flow. The template is accurate... the exercises on the other hand, probably not)…

Bear of a Time
The weather report was absolutely miserable, mid-30's and pouring down raining, so we were all pleasantly surprised that it was rain free for the duration of the 45-minute workout and the morning felt great because of…

Soggy Bells
7 PAX showed up for another soggy outing and I have to admit I was a little nervous to lead my 1st kettlebell workout. Sure I've been to a few, but this was my first time leading one so it was difficult estimate the…

4 Cones and a Teabag
10 Pax today including Chop Block, who rolled in 20 minutes late. Better late than never I suppose. I gave a somewhat sarcastic disclaimer and then made everyone do 5 fingertip merkins because Two Ferns gave me the…

Omaha
I had our 1st F Q Royale lined up for the Q this morning, but got the word late the night before that he wouldn't be able to Q dueto a family emergency. Life happens, but we're all brothers here and this was a perfect…

Get "Tiny Tim Home"
7 Pax came out to Cannonball this morning. It is such an awesome feeling when you see recent FNG's pull into the parking lot. Thanks to Royale, Homebrew and Flux we had extra Kettlebells to share. After a detailed…

Nothing but Poopdeck
I have been skipping Thursday's of late because I almost always work from home that day and have been choosing to sleep in a bit and go for a run as a change of pace so it was nice to come back here. I believe the…

New Years Eve at the Crows Nest
I had myself slotted to Q on Christmas Eve, which happens to be YHC's birthday, but because of the convergence I wasn't able to Q on that day so I settled for New Years Eve. It was a light crowd on the rainy New Years…

12 Days of Misery (Christmas Workout)

Smackdown at the Crows Nest "Clover Middle School Wrestling Style"
I had originally had a Weinke prepared for the workout but changed it up after spending some time at my son's (F3 - Hound) Middle School Wrestling practices. Today's temps were in the 40's so the brave ones wore shorts…

Working Hard @ Crow's Nest
Of course this is way late and will be abridged but it is my duty to put together a backblast and I'm not going to slouch. #LeadByExample We started off with a disclaimer (had an FNG) and some light stretching... don't…

Bad Cousin
4 PAX including YHC rolled in before the 5AM start time at Bermuda Triangle this morning. It was wet, balmy, and almost felt like a summer morning. At 5, I gave the quick disclaimer and we took a mosey around the 1/4…

VQ At the Abyss
The Abyss has been around, what, 2 years or so? YHC has never made it down there, and that's a shame. Not only is it a great, well-lit AO, but the pax there represent Lake Wylie very well! Sure wish Siri hadn't been…

My "Deep" Q
With Friday's rain finally behind us, 5 PAX got together at the Deep on a soggy, cool, Saturday morning. I gave practically no disclaimer, since we're all regulars, and decided to take a mosey around the parking lot…

Forties for 40
Well today was the day... turning 40...why not take the Q today? I asked Bones for it months ago. There's nothing better than leading a group of men and friends at an F3 workout, especially on a birthday. I was really…
