A birthday Q to remember. Me vs me I always try to push myself in the things I don’t like doing. I looked back to the recent ipc week 1. On the football field we ran 90 yards between each work out. 35 reps at each end of the field. We did start with 6 burpees in honor of Broadways request. Workout in the end zones consisted of: SSH, merkins, oblique lifts with cindies, plank Jack’s, lbc’s, oblique lbc’s, box cutters, WW2s, calf raises with 2 cindies, double count lunges, squats, and maybe one or two I’m forgetting. We racked…

”You attract bees with honey” is a famous saying. Tonight showed you attract ruckers with beer! 12 (but then 13 after Cookie ate his pancakes and 14 after Ponch was told to get his ass out there) came out for what will be the first of many CSAUP Rucks! THE THANG Swoop kicked it off with ruckless 11s and ruck-on 4 corners around Alamo and we proceeded on our way. Crabgrass had a surprise for the PAX at the top of a dirt mound at a construction site where we found 6 sandbags waiting for us. Quick triple check with…

For the third year in a row, YHC’s disorganization and lack of social promotion led to yet another successful homegrown half, 10K, and 5K! Feedback from the PAX identified that the route last year kept everyone wanting more hills, so we brought back the OG double hill climbs and it was a big hit for all the half marathoners. There was lots of mumble chatter along the way, but also a lot of camaraderie and shared disdain for the sudden resurgence of heat and humidity. At 6am, we kicked off to a true 70 and sunny, and the temp kept…

Three studs awoke to steamy conditions ready to examine the age-old question, “What’s my title?” Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the guy going out for a THIRD round this morning (21 miles!), the following might have happened: Route: South bank, Buttermilk, Forest Hill, reverso, and back to the virtual shovel flag. 7 miles. In today’s temperatures / conditions, this was like running 7 miles in a simmering soup. Numbers, names, and YHC took us out. Announcements: Prayers for PAX members and their families, Breaking Bread, and Whitesnake leading The Bridge on July 19. Happy Father’s Day. NMS: Offshore…

What a night!! A grand total of 39 hard charging dudes, or crazy MFers, depending on who you ask, saddled up for some or all of the Century 2.0. 3 teams of varying regionalities filled their vans up with supplies before 6pm on Friday night. Don Draper rolled in with a brand new Mercedes Sprinter van that inspired a new team name, Team Diesel. Van 4 carrying Team Boberry and the New Day (BND) rolled in hot with the crisp sounds of Yacht Rock as the instructions were given and the first runners, Focker, Gecko, Wet Bandit, and Heist, were…

The rugged trails of Pocahontas State Park became a crucible of F3 fortitude as the Ragnar Trail unfurled its demanding course over two relentless days. Two 8-man bands of F3 brothers, including the tenacious crew from F3 Roanoke, plunged into the wooded depths, each leg a visceral test of both sinew and spirit. The exchange points pulsed with nervous energy and booming cheers, a constant churn of muddy warriors slapping hands and red,green or yellow slap bands, and launching back into the fray, each returning with tales etched in sweat and dirt of hills conquered and obstacles overcome. The cloak…

Two PAX intent on getting in some tough training met this morning for this weeks Graveyard Shift on location at Mt Midlo. After a loop around the pond we hit the hill. 9 times to the top, with a 30 second walk and a job back down each time. Final tally 4.4 miles, and between 500-600 ft of elevation change. Great work this morning. Big Rig and YHC are feeling good about our races coming up. Feel free to join where the training takes us next week. #graveyardshift on slack SYITG

A solid 14-PAX showed up to see what nonsense their departing Doctor had in store, and of course novel oddity awaited them: The THANG:  WARMERAMA Mosey onto the BBall court and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer The usual DTH top to bottom IC Reps PAY THE TOLL En route to the fields, stop at the bridge for x10 Derkins and x20 Dips THE AO FERRY PAX happily discover YHC’s Old Town Canoe awaiting them at the parking lot Two PAX get into canoe, everyone else lifts canoe to waste level and shuffles about 50 yards.

Cold, rain, miles, and misery: the perfect combination for a CSAUP to kick off 2025. Here is how it all went down: 20 Ruckers and a few straight through runners (Doozy and Big Rig) set worth, with the remaining 16 or so Pax joining Hitch for beatdown #1. Hitch Beatdown (stretch session). Dude. Thank you. Hitch basically warmed us on under the amphitheater and did helped get us ready for the run. Interesting side story: During the stretch session, a popping sound, followed by smoke came from Beaver’s head. Well, turns out his battery in the headlamp exploded. Damn dude!…
