14 Pax posted, including (4) 2.0s, posted for what was intended to be good Gauntlet Recovery workout, but also with an opportunity to interject some Q school refreshers since we have been discussing the Qsource material the past couple weeks at Wingman. What resulted was a collective beatdown of betterness. Conditions: Mid 50s and nice …
Crisco is a new PAX to Smokehouse and had mentioned he would be interested in freeing himself from ultimate Frisbee virginity. Far be it from any of us to deny him that awesome of a request. YHC sent a late invitation to The Valley in hopes of getting a good game going. Those guys came …
After the Gauntlet we suspected attendance might be a little light but ended up only being myself and Hemingway for this one. Tclaps to Hemingway for being the only one to complete the full 10 days of the Gauntlet plus two unofficial days of Cryptonite! He’s an animal! CONDITIONS: Couldn’t be better Disclaimer/No FNGs THE …
What’s that? A Wander backblast? Written by someone other than Banjo? Miracles do happen… 4 PAX came together on a surprisingly cool Monday morning to get a little bit better than we were on Sunday. We checked the clock, saw it was 5:00 (which means we had at least another minute until Banjo rolled in …
11 PAX, including YHC, posted in the F3Graveyard’s “cool as a tombstone” sixty degrees of morning gloom. All were thankful we were not at the “Gauntlet”, although some of the PAX accused YHC of creating a Shanklet (ignorance not planned YHC assures). YHC, led the PAX though what “was” to be one of three Jacob …

YHC had just turned onto Satchel Ford Rd. when my phone pinged. RA couldn’t make his Q. Some low life scum had hacked his bank account and wiped it out. RA needed to get on the phone and deal with it. Damn. YHC knew the PAX were going to post in numbers for RA. #Hammer …

WEATHER: mid 60s THE DEAL: Day nine of the 2018 Gauntlet featured 56 PAX.

13 Pax arrived this morning for a very comfortable time of fellowship, rabblerousing and the typical flatulence courtesy of Carville. After four years of suffering Q’s with a flaccid winkie…you know the type, the ones that deteriorate when wet and are uncomfortable to hold when in a zip-lock bag, YHC was excited to try his …

YHC Enjoyed my inaugural Q out at Shawshank this morning with a very good showing of 15 Pax (I think I saw 2 or 3 for SL). These guys always work hard and today was no different. We narrowly missed the early morning rain showers, which turned out to be irrelevant, because I managed to …

Conditions: Clear skies and stars shining after a heavy thunderstorm. A pleasant 62 degrees.

Contrary to original Nantan Sway’s forecast on a 4am text to YHC (letting me know he was fartsacking due to “monson”), there was NOT A DROP IN THE SKY today at Depot. “The hair” was as glorious as ever and didn’t move an inch during the entire workout…until Hairburners were on display! 24 pax defied …

Early morning thunderstorms threatened to cause us to cancel, but thankfully they blew through pretty quickly leaving us little more than some wet pavement to remember them by. The resulting …
In an attempt to make it up to the men of the Boneyard for missing a prior Q opportunity, YHC was overly anxious about fartsacking so it was a harrowing morning to say the least. Going on very little sleep and an extra early wake up due to a quick moving thunderstorm I arrived early. …

YHC had intended to sign up for today and didn’t realize the empty cell in the spreadsheet until @F3LakeMurray tweeted out The Roost Q was TBD. That coupled with the ominous forecast for 5am (Monsoon and Lightning) YHC was worried there would be a light crowd. But 4 pax stiff armed the fartsack and arrived …
YHC arrived at smokehouse to find 2 other pax eagerly anticipating the beginning of bootcamp. One by one the pax rolled in. YHC was actually expecting a low turnout with 3 or 4 smokehouse regulars running the Gauntlet. But eventually there were 11 men in the Smokehouse Gloom. There was an unfamiliar face among our …

YHC finally put out a new Q schedule over the weekend, and gave myself the honor of starting the week. With a serious threat of rain in the forecast, who would answer the call to get better on Monday? It was great to see 8 pax total, with some semi-Kotters for some of the pax. …

7 PAX arrived at #TheCastle for LambChop’s pain station extravaganza. The only catch was that the pain stations were in his garage.
