12 pax came together this Memorial Day to commemorate those that have sacrificed their lives in service to our country. In particular, we do the Murph in honor of Michael Murphy, who courageously - and selflessly - gave up his cover to call in rescue teams for his injured comrades, knowing that it would [...]

Tortoise and Hare
Fantastic showing on Saturday morning - 15 of us absolutely got after it (although I missed someone when tagging names). I had originally planned for much of the workout to be done on the beach, but I unfortunately read the tide chart backwards, so instead of absolute low tide it was absolute high tide. But [...]
Cause you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop!
Sorry for the delay guys - I cleaned the cookies off my computer and had to go find my password. Saturday morning started off great. Sleep in (after all, QSource by the Sea doesn't start until 6:30am), cup of coffee then off to Q the best workout of the week - SATURDAY. It was [...]
Old School Beatdown
Welp, I've finally had an opportunity to slow down, return home, and write the backblast for last weeks Sailor's Warning. I took the PAX on a walk down memory lane of my favorite beatdowns! We had a couple shorties with us who put in the work along side of us and made us Dad's proud... [...]
Battle Buddy Work
This didn't disappoint and was full of surprises. Geppetto, Catnip, and myself knocked out a brisk 4 mile loop pre Sailor's Warning. First surprise was seeing Sea Turtle tracks! As we met the PAX, flags were posted, but the Q was absent. In the most rare form of all, D2 fartsacked his own Q!!! By [...]
Imprompt-Q
4 pax met up this am, with no Q. I volunteered and we were off! Mosey to tennis court by Mallory park - bear crawl to first corner, lunge walk to next, crab walk to next, burpee broad jump back to the first corner. Peter Parkers in cadence. Mosey to Mallory. Dips in cadence. Dora [...]
AMRAP
When I planned my Wienke for the beatdown, I had a couple rounds of various AMRAPs planned for the PAX. It sounded like a good idea at the time! I arrived to the AO early to read a devotional, walk on the pier, and visit with Uptown Girl in the rockers in the Casino. He [...]
Inner Caboose
Was about 2 minutes late getting started while we waited for D2 and Heehaw to finish up there ~8 mile pre-ruck (good work men), as well as Twinkletoes and Uptown Girl to find a place to lock up there tricycles. Its been so long since BM has worked out, let alone Q'd, so he embarrassingly [...]
Easter Beatdown
Happy Easter to all! Just a quick backblast on their mornings's workout. Disclaimer Warmup: SSH, Weed pickers, Jeff Imperial Walkers The Thang: Easter egg hunt. Each egg had an exercise associated. Golden egg was Dora1-2-3 with a rock. COT: Read an excerpt from He Chose the Nails by Max Lucado describing the gift God gave [...]
Ultimate Frisbee
On Saturday we played Ultimate Frisbee. It was an amazing time. We had a great turn out of 18 men. There may or may not have been some people playing a little too hard and accidently spearing others while trying to chase down the Frisbee. Team “flags” quickly jumped out to the lead with several [...]
