Just an Average Day

11 pax, including YHC, arrived on time for the Bounty Hunters beatdown. Some may have peaked out the window prior to finalize their decision, but alas, they took that DRP and showed. It was just your normal average beatdown. We got in about 2.5 miles, we did some basic exercises including lots of merkins. We were safe, we stayed together, we mumbled when QIC said things like, “ready, go” instead of “Exercise!

Dammit. So nearly perfect. Some days the all the elements align perfectly and the symmetry and perfection of the universe reveals itself. This was nearly one of those days, if only ONE-FOUR had shown up! Today, the day widely known as Valentine’s Day, is notable for three very good reasons. Firstly, sure, there is saint valentine. Martyred for marrying young lovers against the wishes of the Roman emperor, and sentenced to death through beating, torture and then eventually decapitation. [Read More]

With Eagle One in town, you know him as F3 Red Baron (but truth be told he will always be Dad), I had to ask the QIC’s for this day if YHC could steal a spot. Tclaps to Red Ryder for stepping aside. Brother, I owe you one. So, with Red Baron sitting shot-gun to Wolverine we went. Pax huddled up, with an FNG on-hand and a stellar disclaimer, we were off. [Read More]

FNGs Abound

 Posted on February 6, 2019  |  2 minutes  |  323 words  |  

The PAX recruiting game showed up strong on this A.M. as we had 3 FNGs make their way into the gloom. The Disclaimer was necessary. As I type this I am just now realizing I forgot to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a priority and so I recognize now the men and women who go and have gone into harms way to protect the liberties that we as a United States of America hold as unalienable. [Read More]

I didn’t start out wanting to create a vanilla-flavored workout, but now that I look back over what we did, it reeks of the genus vanilla orchid. A bunch of EC HIM did running, pull-ups and other stuff. 0544 Give the Disclaimer to FNG. 0545 Here we go Mosey to the end of the parking lot where Dante Peakers like to warm up and get a little hissy if you don’t.

Running off with The Circus

 Posted on February 1, 2019  |  5 minutes  |  940 words  |  

People go to the circus for myriad reasons: entertainment, witness the odd and curious, be stunned by magic, or savor a jalapeno-stuffed deep-fried twinkie burger. However, when it comes to The Flying Circus, only the stoutest of men dare show up to test their mettle within the Big Top. 14 PAX couldn’t resist The Circus’s allure, ignored the temps (they were so small that ignoring was easy), and performed incredible feats with the human body (I am mostly certain each PAX used his own).

Upon checking the weather last night, I posed the ‘more PAX than degrees Fahrenheit challenge’ to the Twittersphere. This ended up being way closer a proposition than we thought it’d be! 25 > 22. With our strong crew of 8, take a lap around the parking lot, and venture into the park. Pause for a warmup consisting of 10 x GM (here comes Pivot) 1 penalty burpee 10 X IW [Read More]
