A Feast for Crows
Great weather, great group of PAX, and an overall great morning. Excitement filled the air because it was the "official" launch of the "Crows Nest", Lake Wylie's newest AO. We had 7 boot-campers and 1 runner (Kenyan)…

The Coop 2018.10
Happy PI day! (As in 3.14, 3/14, March 14... ok, nevermind) I keep all my Q's simple these days. I came in on two wheels, because anything outside of 1.5 miles of Baxter is downrange for me these days and I did not…

Identity and Purpose: Digging Deeper and Going Beyond
Though many said they would post, two brave Pax joined YHC for a cold, soggy morning launching Beyond from Flight Plan. Combined with the four runners for Flight Plan, we had seven in the Starbucks lot – the same number…

Shieldlock at Quagmire
The few Mondays I have not been DR lately most could find me logging a few miles for the impending P200 destruction. Pushups have been in shortsupply and even few posts to Quagmire or being a Q. GLOOM: The murky…

The Baby Yeti
It was a beautiful morning...not too warm, not too cold, a bit breezy, and a bit of a foggy gloom. Perfect! Attendance was light...but today was The Yeti CSAUP. In honor of all those men running in the main attraction…

Ballet and Bear Crawls at Abyss
YHC was already planning to post to the Abyss and suffer the wrath of Wolverine, so when the flu knocked out the regenerating superhuman, it only made sense for a Jedi to step in and help. Plus, there were already…

First taste of The Tomahawk
Got my first taste of the many options that Tomahawk has to offer. Perhaps agreeing to Q the day after the Super Bowl wasn't the smartest thing YHC has ever done, but no one wants to disappoint the Pax. After taking a…

Superbowl Hangover
Pretty quiet morning at Quagmire due to the Superbowl. I was prepared for some smack talk from the Eagles fans since I am a lifelong Patriot's fan. Bones and Homebrew showed up for some fun at Rivergate. After the…

Different Q to prevent 0-59. Turns out it was just a #GDTBATH
Temps of 20F, 15 PAX were early and ready to go. Mumblechatter of running vs standing around was way better. Mosey through Pickup Lanes x2 - Regular - High knees - Butt Kickers - Toy Soldiers COP at Basketball Court …
THE BALLROOM · JAN 2, 2018
The Ballroom_ Moon River and some CakeBoss!
6 PAX joined YHC at The Ballroom on this 12 degree morning. We all have a choice and if we think its cold outside, you need to ask yourself what is colder....the temperature or leaving your brother alone at an AO? I…

Ballroom Beatdown
So as I stepped outside this morning my first thought was “this is 44 degrees?” As the wind cut straight through my workout gear. I was cold...so I guess we need to keep moving to stay warm. At 5:15 sharp we stared off…

Ruck W/O: Hill Work on Time
Golden Corral usually draws a good crowd of folks eager to take on a challenge. No different today. A bunch of go-get-ers ready to go get it, despite the cold and wind. Today the ruckers outnumbered the others. Awesome!…

#14DaysTillChristmas Quagmire Style
12 Men showed up in sub-freezing temperatures at Quagmire just to prove that cold weather means absolutely nothing. Especially when you get moving. 5:15 came and we took a nice mosey over to the Home Depot parking lot…
SLOW BURN · DEC 1, 2017
Slow Burn - Solid to the Core
So, it was a fairly nice morning, especially when you consider it is December 1st! I was able to workout in shorts and a t-shirt, so really...who can complain about that? After reading Popeye's back blast from down in…

The Big Spoon
https://youtu.be/a9L1ZhFZF7w With the temp hovering right at about 40 degrees, the PAX were reluctant to leave the warmth of the vehicles. One by one they emerged, ready to get better together. Warmup - Windmill - slow…
VARSITY · OCT 20, 2017
We played with blocks at Varsity. You know, like men do...
I was super proud of myself for figuring out how to make my bluetooth speaker work. Then I didn't realize the stupid timer app won't let you stream music while it's on. The music has to be downloaded to your phone. So…

Poopdeck got TireD
Great attendance for my VQ, 14 PAX decided to show up and play with some toys. Quick disclaimer and welcomed one FNG. Discussed about control and the power to influence or direct certain behaviors, especially our kids…
BLOCK PARTY · AUG 29, 2017
Misty morning fun at Block Party
I don't get to WEP as much as I should so I jumped on the opportunity when Double D asked me to Q. I managed to hit every red light in Ft Mill so I came in with about 1 minute before go time. I gave something that…

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…

It Was Sooooo Humid Today...
23 men gathered in the sultry SC gloom for another round of F3 at Golden Corral. Some rucked while others boot camped, but we all got a good sweat on this morning. Here is what we did: The Thang: YHC took the boot…

The Colosseum 2017.31
This was an impromptu Q that I had forgotten I committed to while Seacrest was in charge, but I love to Q, so being reminded the night before made me a little happy (in my pants). When training I like to focus on…

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-393667" s
Welcome FNG Airwolf and welcome all PAX to the new AO at Pleasant Knoll Elementary. The Ballroom has a new AO and possibly a new name. That is still to be determined. In meantime, 20 PAX and YHC took a tour of the…

The Coop 2017.29
I was greeted this wonderful morning by over 20 gentlemen that all came to get stronger. This is not an AO on my routine schedule, but I love it and sneak over here for the pull-up bars on occasion. It's the first time…
COLOSSEUM · JUL 18, 2017
Coliseum Shift Change
18 Gladiators showed up to the #sweathole known as The Colloseum. It had been rumored there would be changing of the guard. Most folks were in the dark on who the new Q would be until we started. Seacrest had the Q and…
