Cinco de Mayonnaise

Conditions 64 degrees, humid (or “uumid” as the uumans north of the mason/dixon say), fields were dry and absolutely perfect for some Saturday Handball….but, c’est la vie. Remember when we used to play Handball on Saturdays??? This being May the 4th, I’m sure the PAX were thinking that YHC, in his utter coolness, would do …

Los Lobos de Depot

Conditions 50 degrees, crystal clear starry skies…..perfect conditions for a collision of worlds.  Paradigm shifting. As usual, explicit lyrics below, you’ve been warned…. Foreskin Saturday XL boot camps prior to Handball have been a “thing” at Depot for over a year now.  At times attendance has been strong, and less so at other times (particularly …

It Takes Two

With an HC list that consisted of 2, YHC had a bad feeling that this would be a solo post.  Then at 4:30am the text came that the other HC would not be able to make it since he had been up most of the night with a sick M.  So upon arrival to CHS …

Stacked Deck

After a long Hiatus YHC returned to the Q list this chilly March morning. Really only out of fear that Firedaddy would appoint someone since the Q list has lacked some names at The Roost here lately. YHC included. All of this was not lost on Budd who didn’t let up all morning and showed …

Just like a Kid’s Birthday Party! (Sans the cake, ice cream, presents, and kids)

I know what you’ve been asking yourselves. How does a guy nicknamed “Father of the Bride” celebrate his darling daughters’ birthdays? By sadistically tormenting his fellow pax with vaguely birthday-related expressions of pain. Duh. The pax gathered on a chilly March morn to unwittingly celebrate the fifth anniversary of YHC’s middle child’s arrival to this …

Revco’s Rampage

Six Pax showed up for a seasonably cool morning.  Conditions were nice for a long mosey. Instead of a winkie, YHC arrived with only his foam dodecahedron…which randomly generates exercises (written on each face) in quantities determined by each Pax’s birthday date.  As such this backblast will be almost exclusively in generalities and it is very …

3 for 3.5

3 pax fought through the fog and posted at The Roost in an effort to get better.  Since the pax in attendance are all training for Ville to Ville, YHC decided to make sure we covered some distance.  Here’s how it went down: Conditions:  Foggy and 50s, definitely not the cold weather that Dirt Bag …

5 Years of Pothole

26 PAX showed up this morning ready to do some work. Here’s where things get sketchy. Did the other 25 PAX show up because it was YHC’s 5 year anniversary, or because Neckbrace challenged that “if we have 25 I’ll let y’all dress me up in gamecock gear for my Q next Tuesday.” I’d like …

Hill Repeats

There was a little nip to the air this morning, but at least the winds were minimal.  10 pax resisted the temptation to do the easy thing and posted for themselves and their brothers. Conditions: 25 and clear COP (All IC): SSH * 10 Windmill * 10 LAC * 10 + LAC in Reverse * …

Brisk Burpees

Today was a crisp day, and the fartsack was indeed inviting. Seven men disregarded all of that and made their way into the chilly gloom, and it was only fitting to reward the PAX with what they love. So, after YHC rolled in at 5:29:58, the following plan was executed… The conditions: 23 and clear …

Hit the hoops

With basketball season underway and USC undefeated in the SEC it seemed like a good time to hit the blacktop (ok, concrete at Chapin Middle School). 7 pax decided to join in the fun. Conditions: brisk in the low 30s The thang COP SSHx20 IC TTTx20 IC IWx20 IC while waiting for Tuber to park …

Got Milk?

Conditions Fantastic!! 34 degrees, low humidity, dry thanks to a brief respite in South Carolina’s recent monsoon season (ummm thanks….global warming?). Zero Minute Warning, Disclaimer, Warm Up YHC arrived a few minutes late this morning (shameful as the Q, YHC knows).  At Depot, you can tell if you are late by whether STH is already there.  …

SHIFT WORK

Reflection: YHC is not really sure what happened during this Q. When YHC took the available date to Q, he figured we would just chill, have a good time, joke around etc. Especially considering that our beloved handball has been tabled due to the recent Seattle type weather in our area. THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED …

4:20 Burnouts

It was 54 degrees and 120,000% humidity.  That’s called supersaturated. YHC was looking around at the other pax checking their watches.  Mine said we had 5 minutes to go.  Apparently my watch lives in the past and we started 1 minute late. The Thang: Warmup: Some combination of side straddle hops, windmills, hillbillys, merkins, mountain …

Resting Bench Face

Conditions Temps in the upper 40’s.  Much drier than our weather apps predicted….at least until the XL Mary started, then it was a little like this…. or if you were Devito, more like this….. Let’s just say, the PAX were a little wetter than they anticipated, but they each did swimmingly (see what I did …

Counting with Arrears

There were a few notable PAX missing, you know who you are. YHC won’t shame you here, that’s reserved for the highly coveted …
