You Still Have 20 Minutes Left!

From the day the sign up sheet for Grand Torino was posted I have been eager for the opportunity to Q Carpex’s newest high tempo site. For the last month many decisions of where to posted were based on what I thought would best prepare me to lead the type of PAX that frequent GT. With the exception of a little sleeplessness last night I felt as prepared as I could be when I rolled up at 0515. [Read More]

Pain Stick Party

Pre-Blast 8 for a pain stick party at BO. YHC worked with the fellas to make sure we ALL counted during exercises. There’s only one way to learn to count cadence when you Q a workout… You have to practice by counting aloud when someone else is leading. It is definitely more difficult to breathe, but that’s the point: you learn and grow stronger. WWW led the pace back to the flag. [Read More]

The Making of A Champion

The idea for this workout just fell into my lap. On Tuesday, there was some debate on Slack about what it takes to be a champion. Some would posit that showing up and staying makes you a champion. YHC would posit that deciding to get up at butt crack of dawn to attend a workout and sticking around is laudable, but is just a prerequisite to becoming a champion. Since YHC is the QIC, YHC gets to decide what constitutes a champion. [Read More]
