Partner Carries at the Corral
We had a pretty good sized PAX gathered pretty early in the parking lot. Cerrano was the only one sweating at that point after knocking out a 4 mile pre-run. This was a pretty special Q for me as it was my first Q at…

Be AFRAID! at the HIVE
So, the PAX probably thought, hmm, Longshanks isn't on Q, so should be OK to post at the Hive. Oh, no, no no silly PAX. Geronimo has been spending HOURS and HOURS scouring Youtube for the most sadistic KB exercises that…

I'm Dreaming of a Foggy?... Christmas?

Dark Side of the Moon to Comfortably Numb
Seven of Fort Mill's finest decided to make it to the Coop today. Why were the numbers so small? Was it because of the rainy, misty, foggy weather? Or does the name Corruption, strike fear into the hearts of the PAX?…
