Circle up for: GM; Extended Plank Series: 200 total reps of MC, PJ, DM, WGM; 100 SSH. [Read More]

A half dozen for the pre-run and a full dozen for the main event showed up at Koka Booth Monday morning to start their week off right. YHC was accused of “being mean” multiple times during the workout, but then was also told it was my “best Q of the day.” Not sure which, if either, of those is true, or maybe both. I’m confused but maybe this will clear things up… [Read More]

As YHC was making my way around the gathering PAX, I noticed that several of them were noticeably away from the shovel flag, like they wanted to leave or something. Whatever. You Vesperers just go do your thing. I’ll take the small but mighty group and go do, oh I don’t know…a bootcamp.
