Second Q ever for YHC was to the point with some room for improvement. Cadence counts are getting better and everyone had fun… I think. It was quiet, not much in the way of mumble chatter for this beatdown. Thanks to the 18 that showed for the track work and 22’s. It was a beatdown and according to GTL possibly a new record for distance with the 3.5 miles we racked up. [Read More]

Whew, it’s been a while! YHC did have one random Hells Bells Q during my extended stay on the IR but today’s Q definitely puts me back in the saddle. There was a great crowd of 17 pax to welcome YHC back in and a nice cool breeze ta boot. Back in January listening to the F3 podcast it was suggested that all of our workouts start with the disclaimer. Everytime. [Read More]

Additionally, time doesn’t wait for the Q either. And while I was well aware of the start time, once we started, I forgot we ended at 6:15, not 6:30. I’m going to blame it on the rain. It actually wan’t too bad this morning. Light drizzle, not heavy downpour and warmish temps. As you can imagine, nobody got dehydrated. It’s 5:30 so off we went. Light warm up jog to the loading dock where we: (reps are approximate) [Read More]

Shank put out the APB for a Q on Sunday night. YHC perused the work calendar for a moment, and heeded the call. I was set for my 2nd ever Q on Thursday at BO, but in retrospect I’m glad it came a couple of days early. Monday, being President’s Day, provided the rare opportunity to double dip for an AO survey and an outing with my 2.0. The last few weeks have been bittersweet on that front - my M is 36 and a half weeks along with our 2. [Read More]

When the M tells you that your plans are canceled and you are able to go work out AND you see that there’s a vacancy in the Q spot. Coincidence or Providence? It matters not because there was work to be done. Warm Up: Jog over to the grassy area and square up. 20x SSH IC 10x GM IC 10x WM IC 10x IW IC Head back over to the parking lot where we line up on the curb for… [Read More]

Asystole led dragged YHC through a couple EC loops around the ToC buildings, which included pain stations for various merkins, pull-ups on a tree, step ups, box jumps, ab work, and forward/backward bear crawls and crab walks. About 20 minutes in I started to wonder if I would be able to complete my own main event workout. In the meantime, 4 more PAX showed up on this steamy mid-October afternoon. Riptide informed us that today was the latest day of the year it had ever hit 90 degrees. [Read More]

Three PAX showed up on a rainy afternoon for a workout that promised no stairs, no squats and no lunges. Unfortunately none of our 9/11 stair climbers posted. Next year we’ll promise lots of stairs, squats and lunges. Warm Up Mosey over to the parking deck to get out of the rain, find a few empty spaces so we don’t get run over. 15 side straddle hops (YHC did them Nature Boy style - WOO! [Read More]

Asystole, Yogi, disco duck, banjo 4 pax gathered around the flag, and the ceremonies commenced. To honor and glorify Disco Duck for stepping up and taking over site Q responsibilities for Rush-Hour, Banjo delivered the Wrecker Scepter and hoisted and mounted the reflective Wrecker to the top of the flag. As the ceremonies wound down prayers were delivered for wise leadership from disco duck, then the pax were off.
