Back Blasts
Back blasts are a written record of what happened at various beat downs. These are written by the Q of that particular workout for the purpose of:
Inspiring and challenging other PAX.
Serving as a mini-monument to men accomplishing hard things, together.
For now, if you are looking to submit a Back Blast, use the format below and submit it to the channel for that specific AO on Slack. This will be how we eventually publish all back blasts.
Backblast! (Give your workout a creative name, make sure the first word of the message is Backblast with NO SPACES before it)
Date: Day, MM/DD/YY (note – the format is pretty flexible, you can use 05/05/2021 or Wednesday, May 5, 2021. If entering on your phone, make sure your phone doesn’t turn this into a telephone# hyperlink like seems to happen sometimes… if the date turns blue, your phone made it a hyperlink and it will break)
AO: AO Name (use the channel name if possible like #ao_ddg_qqh)
PAX: Tag every PAX in attendance with @NAME. Make sure they’re tagged/blue. If not on Slack, just list their F3 name.
FNGs: Say the total # of FNGs, then list their new F3 names here separated by commas. They mostly won’t have Slack accounts set up yet. Even if they do, list them here.
Q: tag Q and co-Q if applicable with @NAME. Q first, then Co-Q second.
Total: Total number including Q, PAX, and FNGs. Number only, no text.
Conditions: How was the morning? Get colorful.
