Who called the PoPo?

Saturday tour de Fort / Longest warmup ever part duex
Last week I was the Q for myself +3 in Indian Land, so I just used the same Q card from last week as I had no repeat takers travel with me at The Fort. Last week was an attempt to “slowdown” 1-Niner, and Beast and…

Kicking in the door
5 renegade Pax posted at Golden Corral to raise the virtual Shovel Flag while the regulars sucked in some WEP gloom at Block Party. An inspiring display of accountability and solid dose of pain made a statement -- You…
THE ARMORY · SEP 15, 2014
The Armory = Full Metal
I was called from the bullpen so Pebbles could maintain the Q schedule at Tomahawk. So a dozen men unhitched themselves from the fartsack and attempted to encourage YHC while he was struggling after a prior day of Black…

8-10, 15-27 - Pick your #
Todays plan was not all that original when it came to the kettlebell/dumbbell beatdown the tribesman experienced; although, it still lended (YHC thinks) to a pretty good overall upper body workout. Some read the tweet…

Glad F3 was calling me to crawl out of the fartsack and Q
Grateful that I had a reason to get out of the fartsack this morning, had the itch to fartsack, but knew that if I slept and not Q, I wouldn't hear the end of it (right CSPAN?). As I spoke before we hit the pavement…
SLOW BURN · SEP 6, 2014
How about some running at #SlowBurnF3 ?
14 strong men unhitched themselves from the fartsack to enjoy some 1st F & 2nd F before going off to sit down for some 3rd F at Chicken & Wisdom. Started off with a very high quality rendition of the disclaimer, and…

Let's go to the Bullpen
With Funhouse absent due to travel, the right arm was touched, signaling for YHC to be called from the Bullpen and assume the Q. It was an honor to lead the men on a warm, humid morning. Into the Gloom... COT SSH, IW…

Pre-MURPH Throwdown (Tomahawk Style)
Week 2 for the new Indian Land expansion is still looking STRONG. I will have to admit though that as I woke up Monday morning to another humid gloom I was thinking that I could possibly be the only one out here today…
SLOW BURN · AUG 29, 2014
Where’s the moderate in this workout?
13 PAX decided to wake up and post in the gloom at Slowburn after the previous night’s pre-blast stating that if Carolina (South Carolina for some of you North Carolina PAX) wins, YHC would cut back on his favorite…
RING OF FIRE · AUG 27, 2014
Next time, turn it up to 11...
Goooood Morning! Another installment of a Jekyll led beat down. A VQ for YHC at The Coop. 23 men jumped out of the fartsack to a perfect 65 degree morning. I felt like I gave it pretty good. Apparently, The PAX can be…

The Ranch - Rock n Roll All Nite and Pain in the Gloom!!!

ALCATRAZ · AUG 2, 2014
Who's got the Q? Oh yeah, I do...
With Free Bird out due to a bad case of the "Montezuma's Revenge", West Nile, or possibly even uncooperative hair product, YHC stepped up and took the reigns of the Q. Actually I was reminded by my calendar alarm at…

Running down a dream
16 pax posted to Laces Out with speed on their mind -- a 10k time trial to test themselves in the gloom. It was a BRR-inspired training run that drew more than merely BRR pax. The absence of Red Banjo opened a door that…
SLOW BURN · JUL 18, 2014
I am starting to like this #SlowBurnF3...
8 strong men rolled out of the rack for a celebration to include all three Fs. This morning I was filling in at Q for Tatanka, who is officially listed on the IR. We started our morning with a quick prayer including the…

The Coop - Campus Summer Tour 2014
Cake Boss at the helm came into the gloom of The Coop looking for some moonlight to shine on the AO. It was going to get dark and scary and I did not want any of the 10 PAX to cry for momma in the dark. There was some…

A CSPAN hosted Saturday morning of "Hour of Power"
If you showed up for a prayerful “Hour of Power” you instead got a full cut of high humidity and the painful reminder to wear gloves because I might be the Q. 19 strong, chatter was high, and the spirit was right. COP…
