Chill morning, two days after the Yeti and eight men showed up for the workout. Olaf and Tesla ran 2 miles before the workout. After a quick disclaimer, we took a couple steps back and did the following warm up…

Non Yeti miles
When Pothole was reaching out for a substi-Q, YHC couldn't resist. I really like the Swamp as an AO. It's flat-ish, there's a lot of scenery, and any security guards watching CCTV get some entertainment. When I arrived…

Ripple Effect
15 PAX gathered to defeat the fartsack on a chilly but hospitable Thursday AM in the gloom. Here's what we did: PAX were disclaimed and moseying commenced to the top of the hill at the high school entrance. We did the…

Embrace the low point...now get up.
It's Minnow Pond. It's a 3mi minimum with a few push-ups as we now like to say. Jekyll asked the question. I answered in the affirmative. The day before, marketing for competing regional AO's began and man, it was hot…

21s in the gloom
YHC has only been to the bubble once before, and that was a 0515 pre-ruck in early December 2020. Any Q with Sugar Daddy and the ability to breath is an opportunity for some good mumblechatter. The guy is always…

Breaking the Tie
YHC was invited by the Site Q, Sugar Daddy, to Q the Bubble today and was honored for the opportunity. For those who don't know or have forgotten, the Bubble is a result of the COVID lockdown coupled with the need for…

Take that, treats!
IIRC, the last and only time YHC has Qed at Golden Corral was partnering with Slapshot over a year ago, so when Lutefisk said there was an opening, it was time to step up. I had quite a few devious plans built up for…

Meat and Potatoes
YHC had the privilege to have the last Q of Fire Ant before the AO moves and is rebranded as “Currahee.” Plenty of good memories at FA, but Currahee will not disappoint with the new 0500 start time. Wegmans and YHC took…

THE RANCH · JAN 9, 2020
Sore legs, laps, and laughter
Due to scheduler difficulties, YHC didn't know about this Q until a day or two before, which is fine, because there's so darn much a guy can do in a Q at an AO that's as diverse as the Ranch Unfortunately, I was about 5…
