  • Ice Fork Park

    2 dumb men emerged from the fart sacks to do some kettlebell curling along the ice covered landscape of Pjne Fork Park. We found the smallest of dry spots between picnics benches under the snack shack pavilion. If the group were any larger we might have to split up under each pavilion.

  • Iron Ralk

    One hairy Beaver emerged from the gloom for a run/walk among the icy fjords of Pine Fork Park to begin late preparation of the Frozen Triangle. With ice on his beard, and shins a burning, he managed to give thanks to the Sky Q and log a 5k! Let’s get after it this week men!

  • Ruck Miles Piling Up

    2 Extra Credit Rucking machines emerged from the gloom to log a 3 mile ruck at a grand pace of 16:30/mi. Watch the sunrise, and enjoy one another’s company with some conversation. YHC has rucked over 30 miles this month. I’m certain Commando has rucked more than YHC!
