Final HIN In Beaufort
Eleven men braved the cold, wind and gloom to post at the last HIN in Beaufort for the year. With the one minute warning sounded, YHC recited the Mission Statement to perfection and immediately called for Burpees. A collective groaning noise was clearly audible and...
Back Blast…the one and only Dreadnought 1-30-2018
It's always a pleasure when I have the opportunity to Q at the Dreadnought and a challenge to see exactly what can be fit into a very limited window of time! This past Tuesday's workout was no exception, the goal was to get in 4 miles of pavement pounding....and so...
This morning could have been an easy fartsack, but instead we knocked out a few miles and some really good 2nd F. I thought I would be on the trail by myself this morning, but at 5:14 Buttoncap came in hot and saved the morning. We instantly began the ruck. The trail...
The Bells were Swinging
Once again we were greeted this morning by Eastern North Carolina's ever changing weather. While there was no moisture in the air there was definitely a bite to it. The Mission statement given and disclaimers provided it was time to get started and get out of the...
Measuring against the Past
I had failed my duties as a site Q and forgot to remind the Q that he was up to Q, so I decided at last minute to do the appropriate thing and take on the duties myself. I sent out the preblast and contemplated what I would do, I was looking at some old workouts and...
Variety
Started off the morning with round of side straddle hops followed by lbcs and burpees. Next we went for a wheel barrels followed by lunges. We took a short mosey and then another started another round of side straddle hops burpees and lbcs. Next was more lunges and...
Dedication vs Devotion
"The two words can be similar but DEVOTION is a sort of profound DEDICATION and it refers to emotions [such as love] and worship, while DEDICATION is usually referred to a task or purpose." ~Google YHC didn't think twice about why pax would choose the fartsack over a...
The Field of Dreams – Back Blast – 1-27-2018
YHC had not had an opportunity to post or Q on the Western end of the empire, so today was a real treat for me and something I’ve looked forward to for some time. A few brave middle easterners (Steamer and Frosted Flake) decided to make the journey to the west with...
A return to a place of great memories
As per usual, when YHC is preparing a workout, I usually pull up Google Maps to measure distances or get an idea of where I want to carry the Pax. As I scanned the satellite reconnaissance photographs, I saw the Little League baseball fields at Swinson Park and it...
Frozen
Started off with some Sun gods and cotton pockets. From there we took a short run to the track. Began on the turns and lunged until reaching the next turn. Stopping for 16 side straddle hops. Then we took a mosey to the next corner. Stopping at this corner for 15...
Swashbuckler Back Blast
An eager Pax of 5 was primed for the newest edition of the Swashbuckler. This AO was the vision and creation of the Duck Butter, so YHC didn't want to disappoint. After a warm welcome we were off to the front of the school for a convergence warmarama with the Earned...
Pushing to the edge
It was another old one this morning but the guys out to do training for upcoming races would not be deterred. 60 minutes today and each of us reached further today. maytag was able to hold onto the merlot and gained a distance in his training for Cooper River Bridge...
4 Cones and 700 plus exercise repetitions
YHC had contacted Steamer the day before and suggested a little F2 this morning for a Warmarama. Steamer was more than accepting of the offer, so once the pax were ready at the Earned Respect AO we moseyed over to the front of the High School and joined the...
Ol’ Dora at the Court
Veteran pax assembled at Rotary Park in the balmy 38° temps. Monkey, Immigrant and AFLAC were all a flutter over the Pack’s come from behind victory last night, but YHC reeled off the 3 Fs and mission statement, and disclaimed over their chatter. TClaps to Frosty and...
Jokers R Wild!
It was no surprise that the mid 30's felt like the teens as I planted the 1st shovel flag and laid out a few Firestones behind CHS at 5:15am. YHC quickly warmed up as Snooki pulled in and rolled out his 120lb tracker tires and ropes to add to the plethora of Coupons....
