6 regulars, 1 occasional visitor and 1 newbie to Koka Booth showed up this morning at Koka Booth. The 5 inches of snow yesterday didn’t bother us - this is how we roll. Welcome to Nature Boy and his first time at this hi tempo AO. A couple of minutes of small talk and we were off. 3 laps around the parking lot pickle and then circle up at the start for GM x 18 (it took Nature Boy that long to catch up and offer is required standard line), SSH x 18, HB x 18, SFAC while YHC explained what was next.

Back in the F3 game after three weeks of work travel, holiday feasts and the not-so-occasional Fartsack, YHC and 13 other HIM’s rallied this Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day to inflate a Blimp. Or so we tried (there was a disclaimer that the Q, regardless of all attempts at mathematical education and related engineering training, often loses count). EC preceded the workout with Denali, Joe Smith and YHC for 3 miles around Symphony Lake on a fellowship pace (to avoid losing YHC, sluggish with a touch of a snotty nose…), with a much appreciated last-mile intercept by the ever-dependable Term Paper.

Scooped this one on Wednesday from Pet Sounds - and I was hoping to craft a workout that he would be proud of. Let’s see how we did… FNG Check - WE HAVE ONE!

Rumor went out early on slack that YHC was going to break a mileage record at an AO, a sentence few people would ever expect to see in writing. Some showed up this morning to see if it was true, others showed up expecting it to be a record low mileage, but oh no- YHC meant serious business. He was going to attack the 3.8 mile GT distance record. 0530 - one burpee OYO, circle up for count off (18) GM and IW - and then we were off.

It was several weeks ago at Full Metal Jacket when some Q (I’ll just say Hi Liter or Riptide to cover my bets) called 7’s and in a very respectful and diplomatic way, Callahan screamed out from the PAX that we’re doing them wrong. He continued that 7’s were not just shorter versions of 11. He then grabbed his ball and went home. Being a good person, I wanted to make sure he was ok so I reached out to him and asked him what he meant and how could I make things right. [Read More]
