Ain't no party like a Block Party and I didn't want to disappoint. Shady has lined up some strong Q's here and the last thing I was going to do was break the positive cycle. On a Tuesday in The Fort you have a wide…

A tradition unlike any other- Board of Pain 2018 Week 1
10 Pax for Laces In (and a HAN SOLO runner) settled into what has become a summer tradition. A pure suckfest of constant battering, no let up and U vs U. The Thang: Finish each exercise before moving on to the next. In…

Some new things at Slow Burn
Thanks to Smithers for the opportunity! Reaching respectable now allows me to feel a little more comfortable at a moderate workout. No more razzing from the PAX! Arrived early, set out things. Put in the bifocal…

Less Planning = More Pain
Somehow, it slipped YHC’s radar that today’s Golden Corral Q fell on him. Nevertheless, when this truth was brought to light 8 hours before launch, frantic efforts were made to plan SOMETHING. Six PAX joined YHC to…

Steal the flag, pop the balloon
It started with bacon. Well, really it started with Cha Ching’s Q last week, where fifth grade games were the theme of the day. In planning the weinke for today, YHC decided to stick with this theme, and the first game…

RUCK - GC - RUCKICIDES
Well it was my turn to Q again and was digging through my twisted mind as to what to do and I started thinking about something with Suicides. Then the lovely thought came to mind about doing RUCKICIDES, and from there…

BEYOND at Sea Legs with Royale
I was honored that Maximus would reach out to me to Q the roaming BEYOND workout. On a Tuesday choices were Golden Corral or Sea Legs for me, and with my new change in work schedule I needed the closest option, so our…

Broga and Pole work at the Ballroom
The PAX were in for a treat as we started out the warm up with some routine Broga. This obviously started after I did the disclaimer since I'm no where close to a professional like Sasquatch. There was a lot of mumble…

Mini Cannoli Run at Pantheon
Perfect timing with site Q Fishsticks needing a sub. This allowed me to vent some Cannoli stress on the PAX and set up a workout with Cannoli Run similarities. In this Saturday's Cannoli Run that YHC is race director…

Sea Legs
We ran...we ran fast and farther than any other Sea Legs! 5.4 miles in 47 minutes. Great conversation with 4 of the 6 just completing the RuckOver event with Cadre Rad the Friday previous. My legs really started to…

Broga, Tater Special, and Quagmire Handoff
The plan for several months has been for YHC to receive the shovel flag for Quagmire sometime in May. Eventually, the 14th came out as the best option, so it only made sense when the call for a substi-Q went out on…

Spin it and win it
4 PAX decided to get better on a low attendance friday morning for a moderate bootcamp, we blame it on the Ruck event going on that night that most of the swamp "regulars" had signed up for. We welcomed 1 FNG (dungaree)…

Gambling in the Abyss
What happens when you're granted the honor of Qing at an AO you've not been to much and therefore, not to familiar with? Why, you scout it on Sunday with your kids after Church of course. Completely normal, right? For…
