Treadmill put out a request for someone to step up and take the reigns of Turning Point today (yep, there was a pun intended there). YHC has felt the pull to Q another bootcamp somewhere, and what better time than on a Saturday. YHC had only been to TP one previous time, but felt right …
(This is respectively posted on behalf of the author and Q, Clinch) Today we played a little game I like to call “Chaser”. Started off by breaking into groups based on what we believe to be our 1 mile pace time for a 5K race. After some mumble chatter and what I believe to be …

YHC would like to start by saying he is lucky, 2 weeks ago YHC put his name down to Q crypt on Jan, 8th, not knowing about the freezing cold temps that would take over the midlands that day. Once YHC realized about the temp he got really excited, he scrapped the workout that he …
17 pax eased into the frozen tundra of Turning Point this morning. Who would have thunk that the number of pax would ever exceed the temperature at Turning Point? Either it’s way too cold or Turning Point is catching on. I prefer to go with the latter. YHC figured what better way to beat the sub-freezing …

YHC was worried and soul-searching at 5:25 this morning. Do I really have the guts to run around in the frigid cold by myself? Can I execute a workout I planned alone? Fortunately the Pax didn’t all fartsack & disappoint. It’s amazing how having even 2 other brothers out in the gloom turns you from …

Fresh off the largest Custom in GORUCK history, it was clear there was enormous interest in both a GR Heavy (which some of our finest are tackling in March) and a GR Light. Interest in a GRL not only came from some F3 brothers but also from many Ms, including the M of YHC. If …
