YHC was awake at 5:05am to take on the ruck workout for this am, pouring rain. Checked the radar and looked promising at 5:30am for a ruck journey. Load up in the car arrived at the parking lot, rain stopped, was able to load up and outfit myself then placed rain jacket over all gear for a semi dry effort…sweating was a plus. With no-one else posting I decided to do the Giles loop. Wore the headlamp to the bottom of the hill and return through the wooded trail and it was bright enough that no headlamp was needed. As…

10 men met at an ungodly hour for 45 minutes of exercise Various exercises were completed and the limits were pushed with stupid hybrid exercises, most the Squat Imperial Walkers that looked more like something from Billy Blanks Taebo. The highlight was Duck, Duck, Goose. To reduce the risk of emotional and physical injury there was no running, only speed walking. YHC has a bruised back from when Splinter tried to cut to corner and ran into Senor Frog and fell on YHC. I guess we found out what happens when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object. Announcements -…
Old hundred KB….what a great way to balance the grind of boot camps or running three hours in freezing rain. Warm up: Various movements and stretches to get blood flowing. Got the Hot Tub Time Machine soundtrack playing (seemed like a good idea at time). COP 1: KB 11s across the parking lot. Swings and KB squats. Farmer carry back and forth. COP 2: Mosey to the jungle gym area with Careless Whisper by George Michael begins playing, and I just kept it going. The shock value on the Pax was worth it. The walk over allowed me to invent…
8 HIMs shook off their Superbowl evening to have a great start to their week. #Farts for the folks who ghosted their Monday morning. Here’s what went down. Quick loop around the streets and back to the flag. DMH, SSH, Ukrainian soldiers, arm circles, and merkins into a plank hold. COP 1: 11’s with jump squats and monkey humpers. The twist was broad jump burpees to point one and bear crawl back. COP 2: Into the tennis courts for the YHC favorite 4 corners, lady of the night style. Corner 1 windshield wipers 10 rep, Corner 2 double count American…
Five WestHo studs especially endowed with 4th F power welcomed an SOJ takeover in subzero temps. Marking YHC’s 10th Q for 2025 and (per Big Data) YHC’s 410th documented Q, YHC put experience to work ensuring we all stayed warm. The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the lot, completing x10 Broad Jump Burpees en route Second lap picked up Handshake arriving late and completed another x10 Broad Jump Burpees so he wouldn’t feel left out Circle up near the Virtual Shovel Flag (because YHC’s truck camper-shell locks were frozen and therefore unable to access the real shovel flag…) Welcome &…
2 Frozen Triangle novices continue preparation with a 5k run rather than the usual Tuesday gloom ruck. We shaved some time off our average pace and got tons of mumble chatter in. Heck of a run Wildwood! Glad to see we’re making progress. YHC has never traveled a 9 mile distance, certainly some uncharted waters in getting into, but we’re up for the challenge! “Luck is where preparation meets opportunity”. – Michael Jackson?
2 Premature Accelerators launched from Rockwood Park for some training miles for their upcoming distance races. Boberry’s got his coming in just over a week, and YHC has his in just under 3 months. We took to the hills of the Mayfair Estates neighborhood and got those miles in. Discussion was great as usual, and at one point led us to wondering how long the Farts tag has been available when posting Backblasts. Boberry’s sure that Draper was responsible for it. We headed back to Rockwood for some hydration. YHC continued on to get some hilly miles, and Boberry went…
