Dora Vol. 1 - No legs
6 Pax came out to Crows Nest for a post-Ragnar friendly workout promised by YHC. Only one PAX who ran (Royale) came out, but a promise is a promise. We started by moseying down towards the playground, with a pit stop…

Not much of a game, but a whole lot of suicides
So for some quick backstory, YHC had the Q at the Deep on 9/29, but was asked by our Nantan to be on of the Q's at the convergence at WEP. I was planning on doing a football themed workout there, but since I was losing…

6 pack at Sea Legs
I don't usually document the runs, but I figured it could still be helpful for those Q'ing a workout at Sea Legs that may be unfamiliar with the lay of the land. Every backblast counts. Nothing special this morning…

Octagon of Pain, same low price, but now with more jumping!
Great morning and a great crowd of 16 PAX at the Poopdeck. I mean it was still hot and humid as hell, but that's par for this summer. After a quick disclaimer we took off around the lot for a mosey that included some…

Nickels at the Quagmire
We had 14 Pax show up in the gloom this morning including 1 FNG "Supafly" and the "Return of the Jedi" (I couldn't help myself) from his foot injury. I gave a nice disclaimer for our FNG and we took a long mosey around…

A great crowd this morning at The Abyss. We had a bunch of runners and a bunch of bootcampers and 1 FNG. Those that stayed for the bootcamp probably wish the would have joined the runners, I know I did. This workout was…

Octagon of Pain
It was an incredibly hot and muggy morning and the workout I had planned at the Crows Nest didn't do it any favors. We were all dripping with sweat and smoked by the time it was over. I'm still tired as I write this a…

Cinder Block Surprise at Crow's Nest
A beautiful morning for my first Q at the new Crow's Nest deep in Lake Wylie. It's also the closest AO to my house so I was able to set up the night before. I warned the attending PAX to bring gloves, but my P200…

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)…

"Maybe Just a Little" Bear Crawl's at The Abyss
Another great morning in Lake Wylie at the Abyss. After my last Q, I promised another PAX little to-no Bear Crawl's/Crawl Bear's and tried to stay true to my word. YHC wasn't feeling spry on this fine morning after 2nd…

Crawlin' at the Deep
It was a beautiful Saturday morning at the Deep, cool with no humidity in sight (finally). Since this was my first opportunity to Q I showed up early to scope the lay of the land and prep for the beatdown that was to…

Find Joy in the Pain
So YHC had spent the previous Saturday experiencing Base Camp in Asheville as a Nomad and wanted to bring some lessons, and some pain, back to the PAX of Lake Wylie. The original plan was changed as YHC learned just…

Lasso Loop @ Sea Legs
5 PAX gathered for a run in Lake Wylie. It was great to get Flux out for his 1st weekday workout! As an added bonus, Utter and Flipper from Area 51 made the trip across and ran with us. They put in extra mileage at a…
