  • Its Madness Baby

    A welcoming mixture 10 P T P’rs and diaper dandees stormed the courts of Huguenot High to discuss busted brackets and cutting the cheese. Here is the hilarity that ensued according to those that care.

    Slow mosey to the cul-de-sac for introductions, disclaimers and warmups that included SSH, DQ, Dead Man Hang, Jazzercise (with toe taps), Reverse Crunch, Suzanne Summers on the left, APD’s, Suzanne Summers on the right. No complaints were heard so let us continue.

    THE THANG: Lightpole 11’s back up the hill. 2 Count Mountain Climbers and Jump Squats.

    Upon completion at the lower parking lot let us begin the bracket 4 corners.

    1st Round: 64 Monkey Humpers at each corner. Mosey the long stretches, Bear Crawl/Lunge the shorts.

    2nd Round: 32 2 count American Hammers at each corner. Mosey the longs, Bear Crawl/Lunge the shorts.

    Mosey to the middle lot for a venue change:

    Sweet 16: 16 HRMerkins at each corner. Mosey the longs, Bear Crawl/Lunge the shorts.

    Elite 8: 8 WWII’s at each corner. Mosey the longs, Bear Crawl/Lunge the shorts.

    Mosey to top lot for a venue change:

    Final 4: 4 Lt. Dans/2 Burpees at each corner. Mosey between each corner.

    BTTVF. Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers. YHC took us out.

    Announcements/Prayers: See slack for Splinter bracket challenge ($10/entry). Prayers to Bone Thugs and his knee. Prayers to Machismo’s neighbor who recently entered hospice.

    NMS: In honor of the upcoming basketball weekend, YHC wanted to incorporate this theme. Good to see Bromance back out after his initiation at No Toll. Great work this morning fellas. Hoping for springier conditions soon.

  • It is even colder in Canada

    Four showed up on early morning for some running and a bit of bootcamp. Pinto entertained everyone with stories about his trip to Canada and women crashing into his already hurt shoulder. We ran the culdesacs doing 15 Hand Release Merkins and 30 LBCs on the way down and 15 Carolina Dry Docks and 30 Freddie Murcuries on the way up. Overall, 3.8 miles.

  • Off the books

    It was the best of runs, it was the worst of runs.

    Nuff said.

  • Welcome, Pablo

    4 runners and 2 ruckers came out to hit the pavement once again. Fun times had by all!

    A big F3 welcome to Pablo — have a good race this weekend!

  • Did you know that “decrement” is a word?

    A YHC was greeted with three brave men this morning and we took a little field trip as follows:

    Moseyed to the square near Police Memorial Way for COP as follows: Dead man hang, tippy toes with hands in the air, left and right side stretches with hands in the air, right arm stretch with left arm pulling and switch sides, leg stretches, etc. Moseyed to the the lake. A set of exercise at each light post: 3 x merkins, 5 x LBC, 7 x squats. Including one broken one, there are 28 light post. Moseyed to the neighborhood on Westover Road for a modified 11. Here, YHC’s instruction with a word “decrement” confused everybody. Run to the white sedan and do 10 LBC and run back to last tree on the street and do one merkin. Next, run to the same white sedan and do 9 LBC and run back to the second last tree, i.e., decrement each tree. Due to interest of time, it was audible. Moseyed back to the flag. Number, names, and announcements. Oyster took us out! Thank you for allowing me to lead this morning! Enjoyed it a lot! The Merriam-Webster says that “decrement” means a gradual decrease in quality or quantity.

Most of the PAX discovered their exhaustion point during the Wallorama, if not in some of the other COP’s. You don’t know what you are, or aren’t, capable of until you’re pushed to discover it.

  • Heavyweights

    5 SOJ HIM’s rucked a few miles of Huguenot Flatwater this morning, all wearing more weight than they’re used to. Slightly slower pace/mile, but sufficiently challenging and excellent conversation. Also, a big WELCOME BACK to our brother XO, an ex-Navy guy who makes heavyweight rucking look easy. SYITG fellas, DTH

    YHC was the lone runner that came out of the Gloom at MOT this morning, SOT guys went one way and YHC went the other.
