Starbucks – Winterfield Crossing
2 dashing young F3 patrons emerged from the gloom for a stroll with weighted pack, under the Sky Q’s starlit vault whilst having some pleasant mumble chatter. These fine fellows logged 3.5 kilometer in just 40 minutes time.
Chaplain may not have been at The Graveyard Shift on the misty, sometimes rainy morning at the track at Swift Creek Middle, but his presence was felt. The Dirty Thirty was his creation, and two Swift Freaks decided to awaken it from the dead. On this, the 30th day of October, the eve of Halloween, The Dirty Thirty was ready to unleash it’s fury. It almost had each of them spewing Merlot like exorcised little girls. But they kept the beast at bay. So after the 30 sprints of 100 meters, almost every minute on the minute, for 30 minutes,…
YHC was flying solo this morning, but got in some needed Pull Ups. EMOM Pull-ups, Dips, and Jerkins, changing grips, and doing some negatives.
4 guys took OTB on the road and launched from River Road Starbucks to get 10 miles through UR and down Riverside Drive. Several “cutoffs” were contemplated and Cavity Search pushed through a maybe bruised rib and managed to make it all 10 miles. Weather was perfect. Great morning.
It took over 2 years but finally after one attempt to to return didn’t pan out, yesterday the gods decided that it was my time. Spartan Super calked out too not only myself, but Woodsman and Lockdown. A side story Lockdown and I have been doing races fact we had a third that would join us before. This was the first one that with the changes I made far as being lighter which helped a lot. i will say, I have some work to do with obstacles I have a good base but I need to work on a few…
3 Savages met up at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for some Pull ups, with a side of Dips. We Pulled ourselves up and dipped to new lows. A great time was had, and we later endured the wrath of Doolittle’s VQ.
12 miles was on the menu for Gumbo today. A classic -2-mile loop (including going up Twin Team at like mile 8) was posted and Rosie immediately claimed to be out of town. Hmmm? Draper and Cavity Search wanted 8. No worries, Big Rig to the rescue – he was up for 4 pre-game miles before work, so we launched at 0515. Thanks Big Rig. Re-launch (after a Gumbo pit stop) with Rosetta and Cavity Search (Draper’s tank was at zero today) and 8 fast miles ensued as Rosetta brought some good stories and the pace. 12 miles. Mission accomplished.…
3 HIM came together at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for the usual Extra Credit Pull Up and Dip training session. There were band assisted pull ups, chin ups, corn cob pull ups, jerkins, dips, among other things. All PAX involved we’re stronger for being there. And they would receive the reward in a Pool Boy Bday Beatdown, that would include 90 Thrusters.
This morning 5 HIMs entered the L Woods Time Zone—where a minute late somehow becomes right on time. Strong effort all around, and proof that time really does fly when you’re grinding with good men.

After an IronPAX induced break from The Graveyard Shift, we were back at it today.

Last rep we really went for it. Some discrepancies on how fast we went. As an old guy it felt fast to…
