What started out as a group text among 8 Snakepit regulars turned into an impressive 28 PAX showing for a Memorial Day post. The plan was simple—a Memorial Day Murph to pay our respects to our military personnel and those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy freedom—freedoms that are far too easy to …
It’s been one of those weeks at the SnakePit. On Tuesday we had the impromptu Q from YHC after some last minute issues came up with the QIC. Today, 6 PAX standing around at 5:30—so, where’s the Q? A twitter request for a substitute went unnoticed and unanswered by the SnakePit faithful, leaving the PAX …
No witty back blast today. YHC fell asleep at 8:00 putting the kids to bed and woke up to a Chinstrap text saying “change of plans, can someone take the Q tomorrow?” Given there were no responses, YHC texted back at 5:00 am “I’ll take it if still needed.” However, there was no response so …
Between several PAX coming back from Spring Break and YHC being a little sore from the Lexington F3 1st place finish at the mud run, YHC planned on taking the foot off the gas a little this morning. I thought it would be nice for all of us to ease back into the gloom. However, …
YHC took the snakepit Q at the last minute Monday night. Luckily I have some go-to workouts in the back pocket. Prior to F3 YHC worked out in his garage. Sometimes I didn’t want to put too much mental energy into coming up with a smoker. On those days my default was lady luck and …
Conditions: A little cool and windy, but otherwise pleasant. Four PAX made it out to the snakepit for a cardio heavy Donatello Q. YHC would like to insert some witty comments about the Q, but I’m smoked. I’ve got nothing to say except the PAX put in some SOLID work this morning. BOM – Prayer …
Conditions – Chilly but clear The SnakePit has had some great Qs over the past few weeks/months. YHC has been very impressed with the challenging and creative Qs coming from the AO PAX and outside veterans. It is encouraging to see fitness levels improving along with the fellowship. With the warm fuzzies out of the way …
Conditions: Mid 50’s and wet Disclaimer BOM The Thing Words fall short of describing the experience and sense of accomplishment after completing the GORUCK challenge. Stronger friendships were forged and new personal baselines were set. It was awesome. The fact remains however, the GORUCK challenge was a beat down – one from which YHC has not …
With the GORUCK main event quickly approaching, 46 PAX convened on north steps of State House to embark on the sadistic adventure of simulating the suck that waits on November 21st. YHC volunteered for BackBlast duties, perhaps suffering from a little Dunning-Kruger effect, YHC underestimating how grueling the event would actually be. At some point …
Conditions: Comfortable, low 60’s Disclaimer BOM The Thang YHC was so inspired by Tuesdays Malfunction Junction Q honoring the M’s and child bearing – I came up with my own themed Q for Thursday. Its no secret YHC is a staunch proponent of a Paleo approach to nutrition. If you can’t pick it, pluck it, …
