What a Cluster

Here’s an idea; pax show up and we put all of their names in a hat and draw at random to lead parts of the beatdown. Aye? Aye! 22 on hand, 1 is an FNG. Quick disclaimer and send the men to the library. Warm ups: Pickles Cluster 1: Burt is pulled and he calls random Jack Webb’s … signature move Cluster 2: Red Lobster gets pulled out of the hat and takes the pax to the fountain for 3 rounds of bear crawls and lunges while partner pax amrap exercises.

Welcome to DanKryptoPeak

It wasn’t my intention of running a Kryptonite-style workout the day before Odyssey but from the mumble chatter, that’s what it turned out to be. I debated what I should do for today’s Q and what I didn’t want to be sore tomorrow, so I was hoping this was the right choice. According to some, I failed. PAX of 1 (YHC) for an EC run PAX of 4 for EC pull-ups. [Read More]

Cherries and Merkins

Pre-Blast This being my virgin Q, it was great to do at BO as it was my FNG site. I really appreciated all the help from and support from the PAXs, before and during workout.

Warm-Up Pledge of allegiance Ran to the bank and circled up to do: 10 -good mornings 20 - side saddle hop 20 - Merkins [Read More]

I Did It All for the Koozie

They say good things come to those who wait. Who are they? The PAX? The Q? 24 gathered to find out for a VQ that was a long time coming. YHC awoke at 0420 for a 0530 VQ approx 4 minutes away. Alrighty then. Arrived early to off load the pain sticks and found FNG Daniel alone in the parking lot with his car and an empty black BMW. PAX piled in the small lot, disclaimer was given, and off we went. [Read More]

Gloom+ECR+ECP+Bruisers+Vanilla = A wonderful way to start your day

After my plane landed in North Cary, I met Chanticleer for 4 mile EC run. When we finished, we heard the EC pull-up crowd wrapping up, and then the rest of the PAX trickled in. No FNGs, and off we went. A mosey around the pickle and circle up. Warm-Up Good Mornings, Windmill, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Clap, Overhead Clap, SSH, Steve Earle Mosey over to the basketball court. [Read More]

Krippled Kitty

Hello Kitty busted up his ankle pretty good at F3 Dads last weekend, and after a few days in a walking boot was ready to get back in the gloom. That’s why we have Bruisers, so instead of fartsacking and sadclowning, the injured PAX can continue to get after with their brothers. Warm-Up Stroll from the flag to the bank while doing imperial walkers, Sir Fazios, merkins and mountain climbers along the way. [Read More]

You're So Extra

YHC comes tearing in to the parking lot at Waldo Street in DTC @0540…there is a large crowd gathered nearby. Larger than normal. What ever shall we do? Sabre has an FNG in tow, so YHC gives a quick disclaimer. This is gonna be fun.
