Accountability?
YHC knew it was going to be hard to compete against Maximus and GInsu at the Coop for a QvsQ, but I figured there would be some hearty PAX willing to step up and post; the rain though didn't help. It didn't matter, 3…

A little movin' & rollin' with Florence
I've been chompin' at the bit to Q this new official Ruck AO, the Fire Ant, and this morning was the perfect time. Over the last few years, it's developed a standard consistent with harder AO's and I was not about to…

Start and stop, repeat
Man it's been too long. Cha Ching set me up with the opportunity to Q at the SWAMP and I must say, I do miss that place. But then again, I think I say that with every AO I have the opportunity to Q at. So for this one…

Always Ready
Maximus at a "Moderate?" I mean, c'mon, Slow Burn isn't always moderate. That said, I appreciate the opportunity to Q no matter the AO so thank you Smithers for thinking of me. I tried to honor the AO by pushing the PAX…

BEYOND the JOY
I'm sitting down to write this BB and literally can't do what I challenged the PAX with at this morning's BEYOND workout. Eliminate the distractions. Oh, what's this text say, how about this tweet mention (can't miss…

BB for #Beyond at the #Ranch - 8-23-18
17 PAX joined YHC for something different at the Beyond edition of The Ranch. In the spirit of Beyond, I wanted to try something that would push the PAX beyond their comfort zone. Something that would require some…

Iron PAX Challenge - Week 2
This morning workout was the week 2 of the Iron PAX Challenge. In addition, the RYAOA (Run your ass off August) crew was geared up for a run day. The PAX was equally split, 10 for the challenge, 10 for the run…

Party on the Block
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…

Crazy 8s - It can be that bad, right?
31 Pax descended upon Slow Burn for an epic adventure. A #noderate workout plus high humidity had been promised and both were granted on this day. Personally, YHC loves what the Pax have done in creating moderate…

BEYOND - CONFIDENCE & SELF-WORTH
Being the BEYOND Q has been something that I've found to be quite intimidating after the first few that I attended. I'll admit, I'm not the most experienced in the 3rd F. How will I find a message that will resonate…

Gym Jones and a little DORA
It's been a while since I've been back to my old stomping grounds at The Deep and thought this would be a great way to warm up for BEYOND coming on Monday. 9 PAX answered the call in The Gloom. Here's what went down…

Find accountability in your life
YHC was called out of the bullpen to assist the originally scheduled Q - Crab Cakes since he was bi-coastal. Leading up to the morning WO, YHC struggled to figure out what to include in the weinke. The only thing that…

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…

Round and Round at Beyond
Sweatbox of a Monday. I was honored to be given the opportunity to Q a BEYOND workout. BEYOND, the brainchild of Maximus acting on the very definition of reverse flow incubator. See a problem/opportunity- create the…

Truck full of concrete at Colosseum
If you've posted at the Colosseum, you know Jekyll guarantees it'll be worth your time. So for all the future Q's of this AO, the nation looks forward to you keeping the streak alive. Several weeks ago I had the…

Cindy Throws a Block Party
Block Party lost out in attendance to a "more difficult" Colosseum. Next time we'll use two blocks per man. Here then is what transpired after a brief warm up: The PAX gathered up their date for the morning, aka Cindy…

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…

Unrealistic Expectations at BEYOND
We've all ages and abilities come to BEYOND since launching in January and while there have been some struggles along the way, I think the feeling is unanimous; we're getting pushed physically and being challenged…

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…
COLOSSEUM · FEB 27, 2018
We got our 28+ at The Colosseum
We had a total of 28 guys in The Fort region post yesterday (Monday, Feb 26) amidst the rain so I threw out the challenge of getting 28 men out to the Colosseum this AM. With some help from Jeckyll, Pusher, Ginsu, Cha…

Snow Day - Pantheonish - RUCKS - SNOW
So yeah, I knew Tempo was going to be closed but I really really really wanted to "play" in the snow. So I threw it out on Twitter that I would be at the Pantheon field with sandbags and a RUCK if anyone wanted to join…
