SWEEP THE LEG · JUN 1, 2020
Negative Splits
23 was the number to launch The Fort's newest AO: Sweep The Leg. The goal of any AO should be acceleration of overall fitness of the Pax, and I believe we delivered this morning. The workout was simple. 3 miles, half…

Armory 5.11.2020
YHC was excited to lead on a cool, crisp morning. Was given the pass by the M to post after an 0200 feeding, so needless to say sleep was not an abundant resource leading up to this. Many familiar faces were seen prior…

Inaugural The Hive boot camp at Footloose
It was bound to happen... The Hive covered all three gear workouts, added a CSAUP (Manion) and explored trail running... Surely a boot camp couldn't be far behind, even if we did start with a Moderate boot... IMG_0754

Not sure if this is some sort of record, but April
Not sure if this is some sort of record, but April is absolutely a blur. I will have to go back through and see how many were led, but it was a lot. Happy birthday to me. IMG_0685

Guinea Pigs in The Swamp
What does that title even mean? Well, it means that I stole a workout plan from the boys in F3 Lexington as we put a twist on the customary deck of cards. And since I wasn't sure how much time this would take or how…
