I had been stressing over my ability to lead a workout that meets everybody where they are and push them to the next level.It was that time to start, we moseyed to the front of the school.

11 hardy veterans from the Gloom showed up to greet the early morning and enjoy a VQ beatdown and some fellowship. As this was YHC’s first actual Q, mistake number 1 was to ask the PAX if they where ready to mossy? Mumble chatter about how “this is your Q Doozy” and “I don’t know, what do you want to do” were heard throughout the AO. The PAX did give in and did a (Rosie) Mossy to a spot in front of the school, from there this is what went down. (12) SSH (12) Don Quixote’s (12) Wind Mills or…
On the 140th year since Washington’s Birthday was made a Federal holiday, 10 brave men (at the minimum, all of them Vice Presidential caliber) took the field at Hoedown. Observing mid-30s temps and a waning drizzle, the clouds parted, and off we went into 70 & sunny weather.. Fun Facts from YHC: Technically, the federal holiday is “Washington’s Birthday”. Many states have adopted the inclusion of other presidents into the holiday. Thus, ‘President’s Day’ is generally considered a day to honor incumbent and past presidents.Washington’s actual birthday is 2/11/1731 on the old style calendar. When the British Empire adopted the…
In the sub-zero gloom, 15 headband heroes assembled to face the sure hardships of Heartbreak Ridge. Already sweaty from many track laps, HANDSHAKE was first to greet YHC in the gloom.

Coming up on the 0530 start, YHC reminded the PAX of our F3 Credo – “Leave no man behind, but leave no man…
