12 Pax managed to defeat the fart sack for a fun filled beatdown at the one and only Rolling Stone. YHC had the Q and was trying to figure out what style of JV beatdown would work. While paying the monthly bills last evening, the inspiration hit. No Mas! Quick MECA search and I see we haven’t run this in some time, perfect. Also, the Q remembered that last time this WIB was run the slaloms almost destroyed my ankles for a week. Following some Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing inspiration, I came up with a small modification, so this is really No Mas 1.5, 2.0 wouldn’t really work

PAX: FNG Rick (clickbait), Detention, BackStop, MC, Sugar, Bouche, Peanuts, Heatstroke, Loveseat, Manwhich, SteelKannon,

Q: LifeAlert

and so on……..

This always starts easy until about the #5 mark and then the pain ensues. This tests your cardio fitness and mental capacity. always a somewhat confusing beatdown for younger pax and veterans alike. Delivers every time. Confusion rained down this AM but we all managed to make the most of it

• strong work by all pax. I remember the first time i did this and really had no clue how things were going until about halfway through. Followed the lead of my partner and hoped he knew what the hell he was doing. After 6 years I still mess up somewhere in the pyramid scheme. The bottom half really is rough and the beatdown is named perfectly!
• Welcome ClickBait, former FNG Rick. If you are reading this, it is called a BackBlast. Its on the endangered list. A few of us are keeping it on life support. It is log of our activity over time. they are easily searched on the F3 website. This helps catch you up on what they hell just happened this AM and to give you ideas on how to plan your own BD in the future. Side note, if you do enough Qing and write enough BB, copy and paste works quite well.
• Prayers for Cachi as he heal from a broken wrist, speedy recovery my friend. Also, the family of a colleague, Aaron Hewitt, who passed away doing something that he loved. Only 46yo. Every day is precious and the next is not guaranteed. Remember the golden rule and let go of those grudges.
• Thanks for playing along and SYITG
