It is July 4th. And to say that this July 4th is anything close to normal, well that's just not the case. To keep things weird, I decided to grab the Q and take those who showed up in the gloom (ok, it' not too gloomy at 7am on a Saturday in the summer here) [...]

Betty Blue has the Q
Betty Blue has the Q Its not uncommon for me to ride good ‘ol Betty Blue (my wife’s cruiser with a cup holder and basket….great for my early morning coffee and a speaker or towel) to the Renegade AO as its just around the corner from my house. There’s usually a few bikers present. This [...]
19 and counting…
June 30th Anniversary beatdown -19years and counting So, Its my 19th Year anniversary in the COVID 19 year….June 30th I took the Q at Ironman. I had ideas in mind that including pushing CMU blocks around the parking lot, each lap add another block, but I ran late and there was a ton of guys [...]
Q-less
since COVID, my schedule has been all messed up. I tried to do a good thing by signing up for 4 or 5 Q's in advance but have been running so hard that I forgot which days are mine.... Today, again another bad habit of lately, I raced out of the house hoping to make [...]
The one that got away
I had a little fiasco on Tuesday morning, for those that have not heard. I missed BlackBerry’s HIIT workout because I accidentally set my alarm for 12:10 instead of 5:10 and found myself at st Simons community church at 12:30 am wondering where everyone was. I think of that workout as the one that [...]
AMRAP for a 6’er
First and foremost, I appreciate the engineering that @chadsiri did to secure the F3 Flag to his mucho macho chick cruiser. Disclaimer (inserted my soapbox opinion on why we're staying in the lot... only two PAX had reflective clothing on, we shouldn't be running along side of or on the road without proper protective gear) [...]
What is Tough…this or that?
I’ve been scrolling through F3 Twitter (for some F3 locations its their best way to communicate) and run across tweets straight from the top – F3 nation. Different core principles, exercises, thoughts, lessons and some plain old truths. The other day it was a simple statement: “F3 workouts should be tough. So as I planned [...]
I’d give it a “10”
7 PAX appreciated the Beautiful, Breezy, sub 80 degree GLOOM for the Renegade beatdown. It was NICE. As I planned the Q the prior 3-4 days, I kept thinking about 10’s; 10 reps, 10 types, for some reason the number TEN revealed itself…so I decided to make that our theme and went with it. Warmup: [...]
It’s Monday – Let’s recover From Saturday
So the sandbag portion of the workout form Saturday left a few of us feeling kinda crappy on Monday morning, so when D2 fartsacked on his Q Monday morning, I hopped in immediately and did the recovery workout that I wanted. Mosey to the pier, extended arm warm up (watch a shrimper go by in [...]
Cockroach Resurrection
I wore my reflective vest as I predicted that I would have to play "traffic cop" getting everyone to park on the perimeter of the OPES staff parking Lot - I wanted the center of the Lot cleared of all obstacles. Rosebud was first to enter and it took some heavy encouraging to get him [...]
