WEATHER: 38 and (thankfully) no wind THE DEAL: Day two of the 2018 Gauntlet featured 41 (mostly returning) PAX who were definitely feeling the repercussions of the previous day’s visit to the Viper. This morning’s challenge was no walk in the park. Many made their first (but hopefully not last) visit to the Kamikaze. We …
WEATHER: High 40s and WINDY THE DEAL: Day one of the 2018 Gauntlet started strong with 45 PAX willing to brave the blustery conditions and tackle the many sets of steps, Hand-Release Merkins, American Hammers and Flutter Kicks. The morning started at the bottom of the Big Boy steps with an explanation of the “course” …
There’s always a good turnout of hard-working PAX at The Hollow, and this was no exception. After my presence at The Hollow was announced via another cheesehead-related GIF, I decided to put out a challenge that I would do 10 burpees for every PAX who posted (and worked out) in a cheesehead. I packed my …
This year’s Gauntlet will take F3 Lexington’s ultimate week-long CSAUP event and double it in an “Old School” vs. “New School” beatdown that’s got to be experienced to be believed. All PAX from Lexington (as well as our surrounding regions) are invited to come out and join in the “fun” as we visit 10 AOs …
After an early morning thunderstorm threatened to shut down this morning’s workout, we received the all-clear to commence with the beatdown as planned. I was excited to help Quisenberry celebrate his final bootcamp in his 30s. We all had a great time mumble chatting him up throughout the entire workout. Thankfully, he’s a good sport! …
Wednesdays around P200 time are typically well attended at Crusade. This morning was no different. As Simon Set pointed out, we had 28 PAX on the 28th (and final) day of February. That’s a STRONG finish to the month. Finishing strong was also the theme of many runs today, including my own thanks to a …
This morning was my first visit to The Stand. I was greeted by a small but ready-to-work group of PAX. After a quick recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, we kicked things off with prayer, then grabbed a few blocks for later and went for a mosey. The theme for today was something that Ranger …
This morning was another accountability Q for me. Knowing that the P200 will be here before I know it, I was faced with a conflict between my need to get serious about my running training and my strong desire to not run. right now, if I’m honest. the best way to get me out of …
The Graveyard PAX are always willing to work hard, and today was no exception. The cold weather may have impacted the overall numbers, but the men who made it out were most definitely up for the plan laid out before them. The wind threatened to make us all miserable, but it was only cold for …
It’s been WAY too long since I’ve been out to see the boys at Crypt. At one time this place was a second home to me. It never fails to provide a serious beatdown, and wanted to prove I was up to the challenge this AO demands. I only wish it would’ve been at bit …
