5 pax braved the freezing temperature this morning to #getbetter at the last 2017 #TheCastle workout. Early this morning, YHC woke up to an e-mail that the scheduled Q was sick, so I jumped at the opportunity (and extra motivation to get out of the fartsack) to take the reigns. COP: SSH x 20 IC …

#CAT5 with a new wrinkle

Here’s what went down. ***Conditions: 31 degrees and windy. Gloomy ***Disclaimer and prayer ***Crank …

Last Q of the year

4 Pax joined YHC in the gloom of The Stand for a tribute to 2017. It has been a year of ups and downs that included some of the best and worst moments ever. It was quite appropriate that YHC’s 85th Q of this year would happen on a day cold enough to test the …

Conditions: 31 degrees; 51% humidity, dark, did feel as cold as it was 6 members of the StrutBrigade gather on this morning, looking to get better and shake off the cheer from yesterday.

It’s been a year since Clash launched as an official AO.  Like it’s pax, Clash is definitely special.  A shared AO between F3Lexington & F3LakeMurray, we are breaking boundaries.  What started out as speed work out at F3Stride with a simple game of soccer turned into a beautiful fellowship of brothers having fun every week. …

The Quiet AO Boot Camp

YHC enjoyed his time today leading the quietest AO in Lexington. This is quite a departure from the mumblechatter at Shawshank, so it took some getting used to, to say the least. Were the PAX bored? Probably, YHC isn’t very creative, but did his best to get them talking. There is something to be said …

Lunges for Days

A handful of pax gathered in the gloom knowing what was coming.  It is hard to surprise the pax when you’re limited as to what you can Q.  If you can’t Q it, don’t do it and that essentially eliminates all upper body thangs from YHC’s Q’s right now.  Oh well, everyday is Leg Day …
