The WIB Pre-Blast was shared on 080182025 at 2100. It's not often that Pre-Blast are written around Metro. It's less often than Back Blast, which I'm told is making a comeback. I'm looking forward to seeing what overlords Scrooge - Nan'Tan of Winterfell and Newport - Nan'Tan of Dorne implement as their stick to exhort Q's to write them.
My Pre-Blast research shows that WIB has had 4 PB's in the last 4 years, including yesterday's. The research is below:
10/26/2021 - WIB Pre-Blast: The Klement QIC: Slaughter - https://www.f3metro.com/backblasts/10-26-21-wib-pre-blast-the-klement/
01/04/2022 - Pre-Blast: The Clock Tower QIC: Slaughter - https://www.f3metro.com/backblasts/pre-blast-the-clock-tower/
02/08/2022 - The Jaded Moose Preblast QIC: Curly - https://www.f3metro.com/backblasts/the-jaded-moose-preblast/
Now on to the most recent PB, The T. The workout simply consisted of SSH, running, Merkin's, Burpees, Squats. See the full detail here: https://www.f3metro.com/backblasts/preblast-wib-the-t-without-the-dbag/ Check the route here: https://www.strava.com/routes/3392916583870745920
NMM - Pre-Blast proved that they help the pax. Point 1: Thrust was able to find us on Hillside because for the PB. Point 2: Nabisco didn't find us because I didn't send him the PB.
- FNG. Yes, we had an FNG, Icehouse, join us for the fun. He actually lives on Hillside so this was a friendly route to encourage him to continue to join us. - Grizz looked after Icehouse and learned that they went to the same high school, just a few years apart. Rare to find Charlotteans. - Scrooge - Nan'Tan of Winterfell kept an eye on the activity from the back; ensuring all the pax were on course. He was easy to spot with his d-band shining bright. - LBJ and Frogger and used the long route to catch up. Curly was in the mix with LBJ and Frogger. He was more quiet than usual - think he was mentally prepping for his Shark Tank Q on Thursday. - Tormond made a last minute audible to join us at WIB vs. SC. Great call. - My man Slaughter kept me company. We covered off on topics why do we do this dumb stuff, why is Scrooge wearing that bang, and general musings
FNG Naming: - Icehouse attempted to give himself a name. The Meg, something like that from Jason Statham. He said that's what his wife calls him. Kudos for that, but not out here in F3 Gloom Land. You get real name. Icehouse is in the beer distribution name. 'Nuff said. Welcome Icehouse!
Announcements - Curly on Q at Shark Tank
Prayers - Grizz MIL going in for a serious but routinish procedure on Thursday. Keeping Mimi in our prayers - Diego & his family as they continue to navigate next steps - Our Children as they embark on another school year - All those things on our hearts that we kept to ourselves
That's all, that's WIB on this day. You have feedback...post them in the comments.
