Belding: 5 pax ran the SC poultry fest 5k route! The coolness of the gloom was multiplied by 30 mph winds. Numb hands and arms were nothing for these 5 pax. These pax got better and the fartsackers missed smelling Hite’s Friday morning butts.
YHC arrived at CAT about 15 minutes early to find Overage already in the parking lot eagerly anticipating the beginning of bootcamp. One by one the pax rolled in. Every man, including YHC, complained about the 38 degree start (or was it 36… maybe 32… there were reports of ice on cars). I hope someone …

YHC was so excited about his return to Q at smokehouse that his brain beat the alarm clock out of bed. By 3AM the mind was ready to go destroy a block workout and get the body into shape. The body just wasn’t that into it. When the mind finally convinced the body to emerge from …
Where to begin? The Q schedule had a Rooster staple, Stay Puff, lined up for Friday but on Wednesday morning a crack in the sidewalk tripped him up and he took a spill. Thursday night there was great discussions on the DM. What route should we take? Who was going to Q? If one rucked …
At the Rooster we have had a few themed Fridays. There has been Fartlek Friday and for a short period of time YHC tried to make #OnFridayWeRuck a thing but that didn’t work out. YHC checked the Q sheet and saw that a real leader, a true HIM had put his name down to lead …
One year of our weird little Running/Rucking/Walking (sometimes physical therapy) AO called the Rooster has come and gone. It has been a wild ride especially for YHC who started this AO as a 18mile per week runner and is currently under doctors orders not to run at all. The men of Batesburg-Leesville have made this …
The pax of f3 saluda started to pull into the parking lot with a few minutes to spare. There were tales of how much of a beat down Ranger brought on Saturday. YHC had the Q for the first time (at boot camp) since hip surgery in October. YHC was worried that the Q would …
February is upon us and that means that the Rooster AO is about to turn one year old. Its time to celebrate one year of rucks, coupons, fartleks, and tempo runs. The Pax of the Rooster have established favorite routes with names like Francis Street, Chicken Strip, Bernard Mt, Lick Creek Climb, Bozard Mill Loop, …
YHC and the other AOQ in the town of Batesburg-Leesville went back and forth last night about who would be the man to lead the men posting at Rooster in the gloom. YHC had not taken a Q since going out on injured reserve. After securing a few HCs from Pax to bring their rucks, …
The men of Batesburg-Leesville have been a true inspiration and have also been a huge help and encouragement over the last year. The last 9 months or so, have been hard. YHC went from running in 30Ks to crutches, no meds to a self full, posting 5 days a week to barely posting at all. The …
