With a slightly chilly forecast expected, YHC didn’t know how many PAX would post for SnakePit’s inaugural 2.0 Day. YHC’s brain must have still been Turkey logged to question the PAX’s ability to overlook a little coldness because as he pulled into the parking lot he was met by a large handful of Dads and …

Last time YHC led a Gamecock-centric bootcamp, Texas A&M embarrassed us at Williams Brice so I decided against theming this workout. Didn’t even wear anything garnet. The big game was discussed among all the merkins and other fun stuff, no trash talk though. Goes to show that neither fan base is really confident that their …
10 Pax showed up at Depot for a mini-convergence on a cold morning where the day is more about football in the state than anything else. At 12:00 all eyes in the state will be turned to “that other school in the upstate” where bragging rights will be on the line. Little did the Pax …

4 Strong Toms arrived at Turning point in the wee hours of the morn. What could pull theses strange birds from the comfort of the fartsack on a Holiday. I believe the answer is simple…Each other.
30 pax (1 fng) touched down and unbuckled from their hang gliders on this seasonal windy morn hoping the wind would continue to be at their backs for the next 45 minutes. For the most part it was, but what happened on the plastic tundra can only be blamed on the wind…we cannot be that bad! BOM: …
6 faithful Pax de-fartsacked on this brisk Thanksgiving Day morning posting to the gloom of the Crypt/Boneyard convergence hoping to ease the guilt that will surely follow once the holiday feasting commences.

Last night YHC double checked his phone to just make sure his mind wasn’t playing games with him. He wouldn’t have signed up to Q at #Graveyard right after the GORUCK Challenge…or did he?

After seeing a temp of 31 on his vehicle t-stat, YHC had to fight the urge to turn off his vehicle and return to the warmth of his homestead and climb back into his warm bed. With the GoRuck 3 days away, “taper”-sacking would be more than understood but knowing though that he needed to …
