21s in the gloom
YHC has only been to the bubble once before, and that was a 0515 pre-ruck in early December 2020. Any Q with Sugar Daddy and the ability to breath is an opportunity for some good mumblechatter. The guy is always…

The Train Arrived Early......therefore PAX we're fashionably late
7 PAX gathered (eventually) to take the DRP in the gloom. It was foggy and a bit humid. PAX gathered at the shovel flag thanks to the work of Shatner (HIM). At 0515, Anchorman and Barry Manilow promptly moseyed off for…
THE RANCH · JAN 9, 2020
Sore legs, laps, and laughter
Due to scheduler difficulties, YHC didn't know about this Q until a day or two before, which is fine, because there's so darn much a guy can do in a Q at an AO that's as diverse as the Ranch Unfortunately, I was about 5…

Digging Deep at The Swamp
Sixteen bootcampers/ruckers arrived at The Swamp/Chupacabra to get better with their F3 brothers and share some morning pain. After delivering the disclosure to the PAX (including one FNG - Welcome “Wing Nut”!!), the…

Bucket Tour Stop 2
After I partook in a little Broga led by Cobra Kai I made my way over to the area where the fellas were congregating. A few of the Pax thought I was gonna be a no show since The "Two Ferns Tahoe" was not in plain…

Somethin Somethin at the Swamp
Thursday I asked Cobra Kai if we were doing ruck miles or a WOD at the Swamp (really didn't care but was curious). He said whatever I wanted since I would be the Q. Love how that happens so often. I rolled in at 0515…

Webb-o-Rama and Snake Hops
The Golden Corral hosted 27 pax total (about a dozen ruckers, a dozen boot campers, and the rest runners) for fun and pain. YHC can't speak for the ruckers or runners, but here's an account for the boot campers. Mosey…

More than a Workout (at the risk of sounding cliche)
It was an 80 degree humid, gloomy morning at the Abyss. As we waited for the majority of the PAX to arrive, Witch Hunt pointed out something unique about this AO (important for anyone who with a VQ coming up). At around…

Not Too Much Running
So 8 Pax showed up at the Deep for a muggy 78 degree early morning beatdown. Cha Ching asked if there was going to be a lot of running, to which YHC responded, "Not too much" (We will come back to that). No FNG's were…

Ruck WO: Freedom of Choice....but not of Consequence
Cobra Kai asked me to lead a ruck workout a while back. HC!! First time Q-ing a ruck workout......I was nervous. No better way to learn than to get thrown in the deep end. So here goes.... 6 of us for the Ruck good…

Ruckers at the Beach (Sand Bags)
It seemed like forever ago that I excitedly signed up for the Ruck Q at Golden Corral on 6/20 but the day was quickly approaching. After some reaching out to various PAX about who had rucks and who had sand bags, more…

The Hawk (Ruck) Workout
Thank you Cobra Kai! Thank you for introducing me to the "Hawk Workout". This is probably one of my favorite ruck workouts. It combines two of my favorite things. Running and Pain. And a Ruck. So three of my favorite…

Presents for everyone at the Poopdeck!
I had the privilege of being able to Q at the Poopdeck this morning. While I was pondering what I wanted to do during the workout I thought about trying to incorporate blocks into the workout. Now that we have finished…

Merkins and more with plenty of Pax
It was a perfect morning to show up early to setup and prepare my beatdown for the Pax. Then it all quickly changed. Pax kept flowing in, one after another. 5, 10, 15, 25, 30 and on. We truly have something special…

Old School Beatdown at the Swamp
Okay, I'm just as guilty as the next guy for trying to spice up a Q. I recently posted to a workout where I understood all the exercises, could understand the reps and counts and didn't need a demonstration. I completed…

Hey, Look at those Homeless Guys
I'm beginning to think there is a method to the madness of why we work out in the Gloom. Because we're not that pretty in the daylight. This was evidenced at the most recent installment of Run Ruck and Gun! Some of the…
