Get Some at GC
Coming off the Bert on Monday at Honey Badger, I knew I didn't want to give in and do what my body wanted me to do (ie. stay away from merkins and squats), so I did the opposite. The results were pretty gnarly. Did a…

Lead, Then Get Out of the Way
A month ago Lutefisk reached out for me to Q today and I said yes. Thinking to myself, that will give me plenty of time to get my sorry butt somewhat back in shape. Well, that didn't happen so had to figure out how to…

Black Diamond at the One Word Convergence
If you're going to call it a Black Diamond, well then I owe it to the guys who show up for it to give them a true Black Diamond. Even if that makes 12 guys hate your guts for 40 min. They're mad because it sucks, which…

4 big boy corners
Upon arrival, Darkest of All was already in 2020 form with the newly coined "traveling pants" extra credit. A handful of brave (stupid) souls joined him for a 3-4 warmup prior to 0515. As 0515 quickly approached, 10 was…

Fire Ant Q - 9/3/19
Training for a Go Ruck HTL is a little different than training for a long race - everything takes a lot of time when you're not moving at an 8 min mile pace. You get miles in when you can, so at this point in the…

Mile High Special at Quagmire

Productive little day at the office

Keep it Simple
This will probably be the easiest backblast I ever write and it just goes to show, sometimes SIMPLER equals HARDER. Got the text Sunday following church that we needed a substi-Q for Quagmire and I felt like I really…

Relays at Abyss
