  • Lost PAX Puppies

    Two tardy men arrived just seconds after the clock struck 05:30. The rest of the PAX was nowhere to be found, so we took to the school and neighboring streets in search for the HIMs! First we checked the school block, nope! Once we got back to the COT area we headed out east, then west into the streets, but had no success in locating our 45MOM PAX! Once we got back to the AO we decided to run our own workout.

    Warmarama!

    • Deadman Hang, Arm Circles, Copper Head Squats, among others I cannot recall.

    The Thang

    • 3 sets – 25 Reps – Dips, Squats, Pole Smokers.
    • 3 Sets – Plank while other PAX does 10 pull-ups and/or leg raises
    • 3 Sets – Do exercise of your choosing as the fellow PAX runs across the blacktop east to west and back.

    COT with the returning PAX from their stormy weather walk?
    Vandelay closed us out.


  • Legs Looking Pasty!

    3 pasty white dudes could be seen coming from miles away out of the gloom! With tanks and shorts riding high (well just the shorts, the tank was an appropriate length. No belly buttons showing out here) the lights on the park reflected off our pasty legs and into the windows of the neighborhood! Choo Choo will bring the tanning lotion next time!

  • [Churham] All Gains at House Of Pain!

    Beaver made it downrange for a gear loaded AO called The House of Pain! It was like watching a circus act as I witnessed Funion remove one item after another from his hatchback. Kettlebells, jump ropes, lifting bars, a large tire, and a log! A yoked Tetris master indeed.
    Funions routine was complex as we teamed up, all struggled to understand which workout to do next among the many that were available, this included 25 reps of overhead presses and curls with the lifting bars. 25 reps of jump rope, dragging a tire loaded with kettlebells and hauling a log up the hill, burpees and some running to and fro.
    we ended with some competitive 4 PAX team tire pull while the remaining PAX planked and ended with some Mary.

    Shoutout to my partner this gloom The Exchange!


  • FNG OTB?


    Choo Choo sends out a potential FNG alert 10 minutes prior to workout! Here we go! Turns out it seemed more like a work related drop off or some sketchy activity as he dropped off a bag at the snack shack, he was out of there within minutes and it was too far for us to really see what was going on. Anyway, 4 HIM’s emerged from the darkness to get in on some asphalt and iron action!
    One HIM arrived after the buzzer, I won’t say who it is, but it rhymes with Shmildshmood gracing us with 10 beloved burpees.

  • goodness gracious great balls of

    YHC found out the hard way Choo Choo is a true ginger as we were getting our stretches on this morning. Kidding! I’m glad to keep that vision out of my mind!

    4 dark strangers gathered at the park of the Pines for a ruck around the neighborhood on this windy gloom. We encountered activities such as neighbors leaving their driveways at the same time as if we were in the Truman Show as well as being stalked by some character in a pick up trying to play it cool as if he wasn’t following us around.

    Thanks for the ruck guys!

  • 5 inch Inseam!

    2 rough runners showed up extra early (4:45ish) this gloom for some extra credit with a Garmin trainer running drill before the standard 5:30 ruck with the gents.
    Choo Choo had his beloved red short shorts on to numb the legs for the run.
    we covered about 2.75 mi of trail.

  • [EC]Fire Hoses & Bangkok!

    Title is a nod to Bangkok for EHing Wildwood into F3 back on Nov 30th! Quoted by Choo Choo this morning at Wildwoods VQ, on his recollection of that day.

    Beaver showed up for an early start at the pre AO run to get in a 10k and the VQ man himself shows at 6 to save the day, the run was a struggle bus until he showed up for his pre AO 5k.

    It’s exciting to see the progress these guys are making out here! Wildwood and I will be ready to roll come the Frozen Triangle!
