Doing more of the things I (don't) Love
Today I figured out a cool way to make cones really light up in the dark. Just thought I'd put that up front. It's been a little while since Qing at the Coop, so this was a good time. I was a little punchy after working…

The Colosseum 2017.31
This was an impromptu Q that I had forgotten I committed to while Seacrest was in charge, but I love to Q, so being reminded the night before made me a little happy (in my pants). When training I like to focus on…

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-393667" s
Welcome FNG Airwolf and welcome all PAX to the new AO at Pleasant Knoll Elementary. The Ballroom has a new AO and possibly a new name. That is still to be determined. In meantime, 20 PAX and YHC took a tour of the…

Stinky Morning at the Golden Corral
Cool morning at the Golden Corral with 20 men in attendance for ruck, running and boot camp activities. The group split up evenly with two getting in some extra miles running. After a brief disclaimer, we moseyed to the…

The Hive: Different Kind of Buzz
Nacho Libre and I were thinking we were a duo but right at 0514 Asphalt and Tesh came in hot ready to go. No FNGs and no rookies so away we went. Advertising days in advance did not draw the crowd but I'm good with that…

10 at Armory this morning got better. The thang: Warmup Windmills Imperial Walkers Sumo Squats Good Morning Stretch Lap, then back for: Merkins Carolina-dry docks Mosey over to the low wall with bells for some pain…

Fun filled morning at The Deep
I have to admit I was excited to get the invitation from Royal to come out to the Deep and Q. This gave me the opportunity to visit another AO and share the Bonsai Tree which deep down all Pax have a love hate…

Sharknado Strikes The Poopdeck
I always tell folk that the Poopdeck is the best AO around; It showcases amazing views, is expansive, has some gnarly asphalt for merkins and MARY, and always has a breeze coming off of the lake. However, this morning…

Freedom to Choose
The Thang Mosey to “big parking lot” of St. John’s United Methodist for stretching, focusing on back, hips and glutes. Mosey to “front/side lot” of St. John’s United Methodist for warm-up Windmills x 10 SSH x 10…

Escalating in difficulting
For this workout, YHC borrowed heavily from a my Q while on vacation at Ocean Isle the week before. As we often do in F3, however, it was made more difficult this time. The focus for this workout was to remind ourselves…

Two years and counting
Two years ago, Jekyll invited me to WEP for my first workout. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but little did I know what was in store for me. I remember halfway through the workout thinking, this was a bad idea…

Squad Goals
20 Men (1 FNG) posted at the Swamp. 11 Ruckers went off to do Rucker things while 9 stayed with YHC for a little AMRAP. We previewed the course and had a little COP including Windmills, Imperial Walkers, and Moroccan…

Squat'in on the dock of the lake...
Fifteen souls on deck this warm humid morning including the FNG who would later become... Nutshell. I enjoy the look of confusion in peoples' eyes when they show up to a workout and I'm already there- a flash of panic…

60/40/20 at Quagmire- 7/10/2017
YHC took a week long vacation at the Jersey Shore last week and was lucky enough to come home with the opportunity to Q. Da Vinci tried to steal it from me but I gave him the Mutumbo finger wag. I did some bootcamps in…

Disclaimer, Warm-up, Converge
3 pax gathered at WEP for LacesIn. YHC later found out a rumor Bonsai had started (unconfirmed) was swirling that I'd bring the board of pain to WEP, and that may have steered pax toward Footloose. For the record, no…

5 at The Hive
4 men showed up to better themselves on a muggy Friday at The Hive. Having never spent any time at this location I was not well acquainted enough to do anything very creative with the landscape. That being said, I hope…

Damp, Dirty, and Itchy at Pantheon
What an amazing morning it was, especially for a mid-summer gloom (weather-wise - "amazing" wouldn't be the word to describe the workout). Temps in the lower 60's, and modest humidity compared to normal/recent soupiness…

Unity at The Swamp 06.23.17
4th Q this week. 4th BB. I should really check my calendar and spread these things out more before I say yes... Flea is a guy who gets it. He's all in. He took the red pill, and I love him for it. He's always willing to…

Holy crap it was muggy... Colosseum June 20, 2017
Did they build this school in a hole or something? I felt like I was nearly swimming through this workout... my lungs felt sweaty by the end... It was gross and glorious. The Pax were promised Gladiation, so I did my…
THE ARMORY · JUN 19, 2017
The Armory: R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The wind was strong, the humidity high, and the men came out to throw some iron around at The Armory. My favorite way to run a workout is to incorporate a timing mechanism instead of using a count. I feel this allows…

Dora's Backpack Adventure at Quagmire
If you've ever watched an episode, you know how annoying it is. The viewer is asked to repeat things she says, find clues in plain sight, etc. It's terrible. But even in its terribleness, it wasn't quite as terrible as…

A Little Hoglet and a Coyote Pup
For some reason, life, work, grind, whatever I just wasn't feeling it for the 4th annual running of the Hog and Coyote CSAUP. Then I found out I was scheduled to Q at the Fort, so my decision to forego H&C was…
SLOW BURN · JUN 16, 2017
All things in moderation...
...including moderation... Another beautiful Friday and 22 of us decided burning was better than fartsacking. We had an FNG so we disclaimed proper-like and then also reviewed the mission and core principles of F3…
THE BALLROOM · JUN 13, 2017
Casting Seeds and Shovel Flag Hand-off at The Ballroom
Great showing of pax on a fairly warm morning. The garbage bin in the parking lot was especially pungent, which was nice. 14 total gathered before YHC issued the disclaimer, and Quickbooks moseyed us out to a remote…
