Shovel Flag Handoff @ The Deep
What a day! This morning was a beautiful sight to see. 30 men came out to see the passing of the shovel flag from YHC to O'Reilly. I have been lucky enough to call myself Site Q of The Deep since March(?) 2018 and have…

Hour long Q's are hard on everyone
Had a little challenge on my hands for this one - a group of the Deep regulars including the site Q were taking on the Savage Race course, so for those who were not peer pressured into participating in that, I had to…

Games at The Deep
So this was my 3rd Q of the week and I was seriously running out of ideas. Also I was exhausted and wanted to have a little fun with the Pax, so I channeled my inner Mainframe and planned some games for the Pax. We…

Like clockwork at the Deep
Beautiful morning after a good night's DEEP sleep. No rain, no snow, dry ground (mostly). But had heard rumors of a double secret Lake Wylie major party being held Friday night, so was worried about DEEP attendance. Two…

All Legs at The Deep
YHC arrived a little early for the workout since I haven't been out to the Deep in a while. Been doing a little running this year so did a little pre-run myself while Q-Bert and Olaf did some rucking with some heavy…

A Few Words on Encouragement at The Deep
8 PAX assembled in the gloom at The Deep to push themselves and each other in the theme of the month encouragement. A brief disclaimer was given while Royale and The Lorax came in hot. The PAX took a quick mosey from…

Making an IMPACT at Poopdeck
Another great morning in Lake Wylie. I got to the Poopdeck a little early to set up some cones, and still some of the PAX are already there stretching and yapping. By 5:15 we had 10 guys ready to roll out for the…

Of Relays and Dance Parties
Truth be told, YHC is losing his mind. When I was asked to Q at the Deep for the return of the 0630 launch, my first thought was, “Hey! That AO is at a school. I don’t normally post at schools. I should do something to…

Motivation Monday @ Quagmire: by Shakespeare
I had the honor of leading 7 men (1 FNG!) this morning at Quagmire. The drive in was a bit of a shock as rain drizzled down the entire way. According to the weather report, rain was supposed to start a bit later in the…

Speed work @ Sea Legs
Many guys still working on P200 prep. I got the call to Q late on Monday night, figured I'd mix it up a little bit. Showed up on a cold morning about 33° but it didn't take long for us to warm up! Our goal is to get in…

GC - RUCK - Teamwork - DFQ - Embrace the Suck
Man I hope you guys read the whole way through this, because I left truly inspired by the PAX that Embraced the Suck with me today. 8 Ruckers joined up on a "warm" morning at GC. It was 31 or something which felt like…

Foggy Bear Crawl Breakdown
27 pax posted at Pantheon for a session advertised to include pain and rain combining to drain your brain. Well, the rain did not post (a welcome absence for many I assume). But the pain came in waves and the fog (of…
