BACKBLASTS

Q on the fly!

Posted on January 31, 2020 | 5 minutes | 882 words |

Let me just take a moment and say this was a historic morning in the POGL. This one might be a bit long back blast but it was definitely one for the F3Carpex history books! A little background: Fresher course, just in case: POGL: Peak of Good Living Apex (/ˈeɪ.pɛks/) is a town in Wake County, North Carolina, United States. Apex encompasses the community of Friendship at its southern border. In 1994, the downtown area was designated a historic district, and the Apex train depot, built in 1867, is designated a Wake County landmark. [Read More]

Got the Tortoises Hopping

Date: January 29, 2020 QC: TRAFFIC CONE AO: TORTOISES PAX: BUBBA, CRIMSON, EZEKIEL, HOTTY TODDY, INTIMIDATOR, RAMSEY, TRAFFIC CONE. I have been with F3 Carpex for 17 months and thanks to Crimson and Sooey. This was my 3rd Q after all the encouragement I have received from Disco Duck, and Theissman. Still had butterflies in my stomach and kept going over cadence count whenever I woke the night before. Crimson was ready to drive (Yes he does drive! [Read More]

No, Wait...That's Not What Happened...

Like most people, for me the thought of a Press On Q ranks up there with having a blind squirrel with arthritis perform dental surgery on you with no anesthesia while the two of you are being chased by a rabid gorilla on stilts named Rex–though why anyone would name a pair of stilts is beyond me. (Hey, if Press On wanted a lucid BB he should have told Blow Out to write it, not me). [Read More]

Rush Hour Racoon

Backblast for my VQ, so I guess this is my VBB. As I was reviewing the extensive F3 Exicon for exercises/routines for my VQ, I saw the Racoon Crawl. I knew I had to incorporate that into the Q. So the whole Q was built around doing that exercise. There are a lot of animal crawls, walks, etc. That’s for another Q. No FNG’s, No Disclaimer, Mission, Pledge. Warm Up: [Read More]

3rd Sooey-anniversary

Posted on January 28, 2020 | 4 minutes | 734 words |

In keeping with the theme for a 3 year anniversary, YHC had the Q for the 3rd time at A-Team on 1/27/2020, exactly 3 years after Crimson introduced YHC to F3 on 1/27/2017. Doesn’t seem like that long ago, then again it seems like a lifetime. Funny how time works. As fate would have it, my good pal Frisco asked if I would be interested in a co-Q. Seeing as Frisco has not posted in well over a year (or maybe just like 10 days but you can decide) YHC made the fatal mistake of letting Camp Frisco invade F3 and NOT alerting the PAX ahead of time.

Capture the Duck (not of the Disco variety)

Posted on January 28, 2020 | 3 minutes | 478 words |

This was my third Q in the seven months posting with F3…my goal is to accelerate that number this year (see what I did there?). I have experienced a clear, positive change in my life since I began coming out and I am grateful. Grateful to Denali and Captain Jack for encouraging me to jump in and welcoming me and to the rest of the PAX, even those I don’t know well, for setting an example. [Read More]

Mamba Mentality Purrfect for High Tempo

Posted on January 28, 2020 | 1 minutes | 182 words |

YHC wanted a chance to honor Kobe, his daughter, his family and those lost along side him in the tragic accident over the weekend. So, a high tempo 8&24 Mamba Mentality beatdown was in order at FMJ… and whattya know, 8 pax were there. Coincidence, I think not. Warm-up: On our way down the road stop for GM (8), SSH (24), Sir Fazios (8&8) The Thang: At the intersection partner up. [Read More]

Frontblast: It’s Monday afternoon, and I’ve been on this call for 77 minutes. I was a ‘critical component’ of this call, and finally just got called on. They ‘couldn’t hear me’, assessed that I had dropped off and rolled right along. I’m officially off the grid for the next 43 minutes, so guess what - YOU GET A PLANNED Q! Backblast: FNG Check / Disclaimer / Oh wow there’s more than 1 PAX outside of myself [Read More]
