The Caterers I Hired Suck!

This morning I hosted (what may have been) the first ever Field of Dreams Welcome Party, which started 15 minutes prior to the workout. Invitations went out to the entire PAX however Ma Bell, Largemouth, Biner, PBX, Katniss, Bogo, Two Factor, Liverpool, Sosa, Crimson & YHC RSVP’d. We gathered in the parking lot and ran over to the shelter near the soccer field, but when we arrived I noticed the food I ordered from the caterers hadn’t arrived yet. [Read More]

10 old-ish HIDAs & The Kid

37 degrees and sideways rain. Sounds like a great day for a Flying Circus splashdown. To add intrigue, YHC teased a mystery guest co-Q on the Slackosphere the day prior. Just at the right moment, Earhart delivers Ninjago to the site of today’s beatdown. Warmup First exercise, the Pledge of Allegiance. Then, circle up and turn it over to Ninjago for some Hillbillies, Good mornings, and get this…Ninjago calls warm up Merkins. [Read More]

Water Wings Week Part Tres

11/7/18 We had a blast doing pull-ups, monkey humpers, rock your bodies, fast feet, curb hops and Australian mountain climbers. Most complained, but all delighted in the punishment.

Bear Crawls, Burpees and Boppits

Week two at Claymore, the best lit limited running AO in all of Carpex, and the parking lot is filling up fast. Can YHC handle a big crowd? Let’s find out. Warm-Up Mosey up the parking lot and around the island then circle up. Count off, 17 PAX. YHC is fair and kind, only 10 burpees OYO.

Water Wings Week Begins

YHC couldn’t have asked for a more glorious morning to Water Wings Week than what God blessed us with this morning. Water falling from the sky pretty much the whole morning to keep the sweat at bay. We moseyed to the usual warm-up parking lot for some SSH, Merkins, Calf stretches and Good Mornings. Next, Mosey to the far parking lot to find a rock. We setup in the parking circle for the thang.

Twas The Day Before Halloween

And all through the park creatures were stirring and leaving their mark. “Has there ever been a rhyming backblast?” He said with a grin. All those laps on the field made my head spin. It was dark, cold and wet! and somewhere Frisco was thinking “what else can I drink for a bet?” We got up, got dressed and then had a good morning, then took towards the summit without proper warning.

2 Minutes DIDS us in

Disco Duck warned us that the gates of Hells Bells don’t open until almost 5:30, so I didn’t plan on being early. I drove to the shelter to set up station signs that got both compliments and flack for being laminated (no Pickles I won’t autograph one for you). FNG Two Factor met me outside the shelter and I pointed him to the normal starting spot. 5:30 came quickly after that. [Read More]
