The last Battle Workout of 2017 presented plenty of challenge. Freezing temperatures and relentless punishment from the Q’s made this one Battle-worthy. BillyBob brought ridiculous amounts of chest work and YHC took us on a little trip to the mall. Conditions: 27 degrees at the start, definitely warmer by 8am The Thang *Warning* Everything with …
Posting has been scarce at Cryptonite lately, largely in part because of Harbison 50K training. However, a call when out on the Twittersphere last night and it brought in some pax. Glad they all posted for some betterment. Weather: 30° The Thang: Loop around the parking lot to scoop up Red Eye and then COP …
I said burrrrrr, it’s cold in hurrr, there must be some Pax in tha atmosphurrrr!!! Ok, it wasn’t that cold, but it wasn’t exactly comfortable. YHC was glad to take the reigns once it was decided we couldn’t play frisbee w/ just 4 Pax. So, here’s what happened while you fartsackers were all snuggled up …
YHC enjoyed Qing for PAX that represented several differet AOs in the gloom this morning. Even though there was a few instances of mumblechatter, this Q presented its own challenges otherwise. Particularly, YHC was trying to incorporate some running and “little guy” exercises along with “big boy” exercises one would find at a CAT workout. …
Conditions: Dry and cold Tha Thang: 11 pax (1 for faculty) set out for 3.5 miles of Friday-approved quickness. Start with a Queens Way Loop together to warmup (sorry about the directional snafu), then 4 separate intervals (varying from 400-1500 meters) of speed with active recovery to Burnside Loop and back. We warmed up fast. …
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 …
6 #StumbleProof pax met up for a 6-mile run to Shady Lane and considered rousting @Baby Ruth out of bed, but thought better of it. Conditions: Low 40s and a bit humid The Thang: Olde Knight > Chambly > Queens Way > Old Woodlands > Garners Ferry > #HamptonHill > Kilbourne > Shady Lane > …
Any man who has been around for over 3.5 decades would probably agree that the birthdays begin to lose their appeal as we get longer in the tooth – unless we’re talking about the birthday Q. Nothing quite like gathering up a few of your brothers, and delivering to them a proper beatdown to show …
6 pax braved the cold conditions for a game of futbol. Unfortunately, futbol only works if there is a glow ball. Said ball is missing. The good news is there was a light up disc! Ultimate frisbee was agreed upon, and 6 pax ran wind sprints for the next hour. The blazing speed of one …
So when I planned out this workout, I was imagining a breezy 70 degrees… Reality struck when we gathered at 0530 with a frigid-windy 30 degrees. Yep we’re doing this! Warmup Side Straddle Hops x 20 Windmills x 15 Imperial Walkers x 10 Hillbillies x 10 Mosey to brick pile, each PAX grabs 2 bricks. …
