Be prepared at the Bermuda Triangle!
Having the Q the day after Thanksgiving can be tough. But it's also the best way to hold yourself accountable. When Homebrew reached out to me with the offer to Q this day I knew I had to accept. I'd do anything to help…

Dogs Pissing on Black Friday

Burpees at Slow Burn
It was a dark and cold Thursday night. I was about to retire to my study when Steve Jobs spoke to me. Well, one of his inventions did. It was Destiny reaching out. He was getting a Unicorn Tramp Stamp tattoo either…

Smashing Taboo on this Election Tuesday
Today 11 men joined together in the unseasonably warm but wet aftermath of a heavy rain that preceded us. Plenty of puddles to step in but lots of good fellowship to counteract the wet. My apologies to Long Shanks for…

VQ At the Abyss
The Abyss has been around, what, 2 years or so? YHC has never made it down there, and that's a shame. Not only is it a great, well-lit AO, but the pax there represent Lake Wylie very well! Sure wish Siri hadn't been…

As 7 PAX entered The Hive on a rainy and cold Friday morning in the gloom, there was positive vibes in the air. After the disclaimer, we took off for a quick mosey and as we were running, we noticed that Quack Attack…

Can Longshanks do Moderate?

A Ring of Fire to Keep Jedi Warm
Oh man would it have been awesome to stay nice and cozy and warm in the fartsack this 'chilly' morning. And to think that in a month or so we would look back and say this was warm. But myself and four others decided to…

Nihil Gastrocnemius
TL:DR version Have to stay off my left calf. I may miss some things or get the order wrong, since I had to modify my plan heavily. We destroyed some quadriceps... We took a stroll to the empty side of the AO parking lot…

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…
