F3 Columbia Backblasts
YHC got notice that some brothers from another mother were going to be making the trip from across the river to come check out the Reaper. It was perfect timing for it since the hill version was on deck. Something about making a trek up and down a long hill that brings out the best …
The weather cooled down and the pace picked up for #amble this morning for a tour of Five Points, campus and the State House grounds. Conditions: 69 degrees, low humidity The Thang: Depart DHS Down Devine to Five Points Right onto Harden Left onto Greene Right onto South Main Enter State House grounds Circle State …
In a reminiscent sequel to YHC’s last Q at #Ramble, it’s been months since I last visited Shandon Pres to pound the pavement with the #Faithful. Nevertheless, the pax were gracious enough to only mention my absense a handful of times before, during and after today’s Flat and Fast 4 miler through Shandon and Heathwood. Best part? …
Conditions: 71 deg F and slightly lower humidity The morning was not quite the muggy sauna the PAX has become accustom to, so it was almost (but not quite) crisp. Most of the PAX was still feeling the pain of Splinter’s Tuesday beatdown. Nonetheless, everyone came to do some work. Today’s venture involved two circuits …
14 Pax arrived early at the comfy confines of #Sawmill wondering what would be thrown at them. Said 14 Pax looked at the clock as it was inching closer to go time at 5:15. 5:14.45 seconds a black truck appears around the corner, It held no other than Slowpitch coming into the parking lot with …
Conditions – Low 70s and almost delightful Myrtle read my mind today when he said we’ve been doing a lot of running at bootcamp. We had the Chop Shop 5k then Garnish and McNugget took us all over the place on their Qs. I decided to stay close to home and just work the …
11 PAX showed up in the gloom for a long overdue Q by YHC and Sandlot. The main question following the #fartsack of a Q by YHC (still owe Sawmill PAX 100 burpees) at Sawmill earlier in the week, was “Would he show?” Well, YHC did show and even showed up earlier enough to retrieve …
Conditions: A very tolerable 72° with 76% humidity. The Backstory: This is going to be a bit unusual for a BackBlast, but YHC needs to share a secret with everyone. Nothing too crazy, like when Terry Griffith reveals she is really a woman to unconventional love interest Rick Morehouse at the end of the 1985 teen …
YHC received an email from old buddy Wingback last week asking for a guest Q. Honored at the request, a date was set and a visit to Hampton Park was made to check out the space. Talks of #LegionLegit put a little extra pressure on the Q to deliver a beatdown worthy of Legion’s growing …
Twenty-one men came out this morning to enjoy some cooler, drier weather – and a few loops around the mother ship of Dreher High School. As Hustler, Flea and JB reminded us, any day is a great day for a sleeveless T. You don’t need to wait for a special occasion. Conditions: Nice – not disgusting, you …
We are just a few days away from this event, and it should be a good one. Couple of updates. First, after extensive course review (YHC went and drove it once) the course has been over-hauled. Here is a link to the Course on Strava. Don’t worry, we will have signs out to mark the …
YHC had the HD Stumble Q, cooler temps but still pretty muggy in the gloom! Many of us have accepted Hee Haw’s Little Mtn 1/2 Marathon Challenge, so I offered for a ‘tapered’ mileage (3.8 miles) today, at a ‘tapered’ pace. We’ll, the PAX followed the course, but did not accept the invitation to taper …
Its been about a year since I have had the pleasure of attending an IronYard workout. I forgot how much fun they can be. It is a great reminder to get out there and experience other AO’s outside of your Homebase daily routine. Since I was a little out of touch, I brought a touch …
#TheWoodshed invites you to celebrate 52 weeks of whoopin’s at the Shed on August 29th at Woodland Park. #DawnStrike will kick things off at 6:00 am. Bring your best tank top and mumblechatter and plan to double down. For the pax who prefer more running, #TheWall leaves for a ridiculously long run at 6:00 am. …

I had an idea for quite some time now that I wanted to do for my next Q at a bootcamp. Fortunately, the opportunity arose sooner than I had expected when Meltdown asked for someone to switch with him for the Q today. I volunteered to just take it because I already knew exactly what …
After a few burpee-heavy workouts, the Hammer PAX gathered in the humid gloom and were treated to a burpee-free morning. However, there was some BRR training, whether they were running the race or not. Conditions: 80 degrees, 80% humidity The Thang: Short run down the parking lot for 20 SSH IC. From there, run to The Other …
4 dedicated men posted to #Legion this morning ready for a return Q visit by YHC. Wingback was noticeably disturbed by the attendance figure but the four of us made the best….or worst of it and headed out into the darkness. This was an arse-kicker that pretty much delivered from the drop. YHC struggled coming …
10 men set out in the humid gloom to get better. Here’s what you missed: Disclaimer The Thang: Mondays are hill days at Stumble, and believe it or not we have some good ones over near Old Woodlands. Specifically we have Wood Hill and Hampton Hill. Today we attacked Wood Hill from three different directions. …

Ramble has done 100s of lap up Saluda hill, same goes for Bull St., Henderson St., Pickens, Kilbourne, and many more. But curiously we seem to mostly avoid the nastiest hill around…..Whaley St. At 1km long and 115′ of gain it is feared and avoided for a reason, but that is the same reason to …
YHC returned to lead the SwampFox Pax for the first time in a while. It was good to see they still bring it with the best of em. 9 Pax posted for park trip with some work along the way. Conditions: Hot, Wet, Summer The Thang: COP Baby arm circles x20 both ways High knees …
Get BLIMPSsided! Down goes the Men of Sandlot. But they would not stay down. 6 Pax arrive at Sandlot this morning’s gloom with the uncertainty of who would be the Q. Honey Do had signed on but seemed to be a no-show. With that the rest looked at each other wondering what we should …
It’s a good thing these workouts are free, because you probably couldn’t market or sell this thang even if you tried. We normally do a good bit of intense running at Battle. Only reason we ran at all today was to change locations. Great work by the Pax today. The Thang: Splinter 10-1 Squat and …
After discussion with the PAX Thursday at score. Interest was high to do a Special Saturday edition. So YHC had a couple of cocktails and came up with a diabolical plan. The Thang was pretty simple 3 men on a log – 2 with Coupons running ahead. Once the group of two got to next …
8 men arose from the #Fartsack this beautiful morning to take on another workout with YHC at the helm. In true #Dawnstrike fashion, mumblechatter and comaradie was high, the pain though, was intense. This is how it went down: Conditions: 70 degrees, 80% Humidity The Thang: Super short mosey from our gathering to the tree …
This morning we had a whopping 6 PAX post for a 10 miler! The route meandered around downtown. Starting at Dreher, we ran down (and up) Blossom, passed FIA, coming the opposite direction, turned right at Lincoln, left on Devine, left on Huger, to get back on Blossom, crossed the Blossom Street Bridge, and in …

10 Pax posted for #Stumble & #StumbleXL this morning in the rainy gloom and #GotBetter. YHC is happy to report that no one melted or floated away due to the rain. As said this morning, you can’t predict the weather on race day so you better train in the rain. The Pax had no interest in …
YHC was really second guessing the decisions on some of these exercises, but it felt SO GOOD once it was all said and done! No surprise, but the Hammer pax destroyed this workout. Great job! Conditons: 73 degrees and 91% humidity The Thang: Slaughter Starter- plus five 25 Burpees OYO (thanks to Chop Shop for …
Early this morning, while most normal people are still far, far away in la-la-land, 5 PAX decided to post to #Legion to take on the monthly dose of extreme #DRP in the form of the renown workout known as The Murph. A couple “New #Legion Murphers” made an appearance and crushed it. (Jar-Jar and Twinkle …
13 PAX cut through the soupy Columbia air to great the day. When planning this workout, I thought that using bricks the entire time was a novel idea. It quickly became clear that was only good in theory. In reality, it sucked. Conditions: Muggy The Thang: Get Bricks (use bricks for all possible exercises) 3 min …
Rarely does an AO make a request of a visiting Q… but that doesn’t keep YHC from continuing to ask just because sometimes you get some funny answers. McLovin (Yes, he’s to blame), upon being asked that question, responded “180 Proof #DRP”. Looking for something new, this Q took that as a challenge. #TheThang below is the …
Its time for the 2015 Hurricane Hike in Camden. This is a great opportunity for any Ruckers to get some distance under weight and also enjoy some good Food, music and other entertainment.

12 PAX rolled out of the sack for a hump day run. #Stumble numbers are picking up as we are consistently hitting a double digit PAX count three times a week. YHC is honored to be a part of this growing AO. Pipeline pulled a 5K race out of the hat for his Q on Monday, a spot typically …

Adrian returned to SCORE for a birthday beatdown. YHC’s oldest daughter turned 9 today. What better way to celebrate than to wake before dawn and do some bear crawls with some friends? While my better half tended to some excitable children clamoring for donuts in the early morning hours, YHC worked through a solid workout …
One of the joys of serving as AOQ includes setting up the Q schedule. At #Thunder (a land filled with one #LarryBird after another), scheduling the Q’s is a lot of fun with one #Snotwoggler after another. However, one of the responsibilities of AOQ is to step in when the schedule goes a little haywire. YHC …
8 men took the early shift this Saturday. Here’s what happened: Disclaimer The Thang: Fast mosey out of the front parking lot, left on Adger.

9 determined PAX posted to #Legion this morning at 5:15 a.m. for YHC’s Q- the largest gathering since the #Launch of the hour-long, weekday workout held at Hampton Park in #F3Columbia. This being the first week of the month, YHC had planned on hitting core and cardio due to the #MonthlyMurph being on deck, come …
As the faithful gathered behind DHS and Adrian trotted off into the dark with cones for something diabolical, most were thankful YHC had the #Brickpile Q for the morning while he was scheduled to lead SCORE. It’s always interesting to see who, at the last minute, decides which Q they’re willing to endure for 45 …
Between running a 5k, getting stopped by the police and visiting another AO…..it was good times. YHC thinks in the future running the #battleloop will be left out. Get enough nightmares already from that place, don’t need running through the loop in the dark to be one of them. Great turnout this morning. The Thang- …
YHC Had the opportunity to Co-Q with Chewy on his VQ, and is simply posting the balance of this BB for Chewy until he gets log-in access, after which I expect him to burn up the website with posts. 20 Pax posted this morning at the Woodshed for a trip down memory lane. YHC celebrated …
11 pax entered the gloom of Swampfox for some block work with emphasis on form. Instead of having the whole pax do the same reps with blocks, YHC wanted the pax to focus on form and complete either 15, 20, or 25 reps. Some blocks are heavier than others so we rotated around the circle …

26 Pax, 11 for #TheBull & 15 for #TheBullsEye, posted this morning in the gloom and #GotBetter. A little surprise greeted the Pax today as a small portion of stairs and entry near the middle stair tower were taped off. No fear though…the Pax slid right on by through the “construction.” And the humidity…the humidity was …
4 pax rolled out of their cozy beds for a hot and humid speed day at #Ramble. The concept was simple–A 4 mile double loop–mile 1 and 4 run slowly and mile 2 and 3 run at 5k race pace or faster. All four pushed hard and performed well. COT BOM
The weather was slightly less humid (though not by much) for a Monday-edition of #Amble. Today the pax were able to choose their own adventure for the last half of the run: The Thang: Depart DHS Cut over to Devine Cross Devine Right onto Wheat St. Take Wheat to Saluda Hill From there, PAX could …
I witnessed something powerful at The Mission on Saturday. One of our faithful pax enrolled in the recovery program shared with me that he almost walked out the door of the recovery program earlier in the week. This guy is pretty quiet, but after some persistence he admitted to me that he was feeling guilting …
After being the sole Stumble representative at the Hot Summer’s Night 5K on Friday (and y’all missed a great party at Promo’s after), YHC decided to bring the race home to the AO with a Stumble 5K. The idea is to run this a few times a year, at semi-regular intervals, in order to track …
Weather: Mid-70s humid with a slight breeze The Thang: Variable distance options for those who arrived.

YHC humbly submits this BB on behalf of FroYo, who, as you will see, brought the pain to the party and absolutely rocked his VQ. It’s awful that only 3 pax experienced this. Don’t miss his next Q. The rest of this BB is all his. Four dudes meet in a parking lot, 7am hits, …
Tank Top Thursday, a #Thunder tradition unlike any other, did not disappoint July 30th. Much gratitude to our own Paperboy for giving us a new spin on the typical American Flag tank: Tassles.

At 5:28am, Decay and YHC discussed whether we should begin the run, on account of what appeared to be an impending storm brewing. Honestly, it was less the heat lightening, nor the pink sky, nor the radar showing a storm in the area. It was really about the stiff breeze that was blowing. Because, let’s …
YHC emerged from the #Fartsack looking for a chance to mosey down Forest Drive, which, in theory, could be a dangerous proposition given the traffic during the day on this road. Arriving at the AO, he was thankful to see the PAX had taken the #redpill to join him on a trip down Forest Drive. Despite …

Conditions: Hot, muggy. Shocking, right? Lured by my pre-tweet of an easy run, Stumble matched its previous attendance record at 13. With this group, however, easy is no longer synonymous with slow. In what felt like a pretty smooth 4.25 mile route, the bulk of the group ran about 8:30 splits for the entire route (the last …
11 faithful posted and found a new face waiting to lead the workout. YHC was honored to be invited by Pondo to lead a workout at the ‘Shed and based on the experience YHC hopes this was the first of many such opportunities. #Woodshed is a large AO with tons of possibilities for workout pain.

Mondays. Where ever the weekend leads you there’s no doubting the feeling of a Monday. From the sounds of the early grumbles, there appeared to be a mix of adult beverages, people watching, and camping over the pax’s weekends (not all together). Regardless of how they were feeling, 6 pax came out of the fray …
With the last minute Injured Reserve status of today’s scheduled VQ (Blue Blocker–Get the back healed up and back out in the gloom), YHC took the helm and delivered a ground hog repeat of a couple Saturday’s ago.

22 Pax showed up to welcome Traitor back from a long absence due to recent travels.
