Nine Pax started their Saturday with an introduction to a Charles Bronson look-a-like. Weather: 75ish and humid as can be expected this time of year A little background might be helpful.

YHC decided to check out this new location for a possible future AO. Wanted to come through and give it a dry run. Covered almost 2.2 miles of pavement without repeat. It’s not quite River Bluff but this place has some decent ups and downs as well as what looks to be its own version …
“Butler, Crepps & Oswald: this is Banjo speaking…” The wait was over – the time to lead the PAX of Urban Legend had finally arrived! There’s a line around the block to Q this joint and there’s a good reason; with downtown Lexington and the joggable vicinity as your playground, the possibilities are endless. So …

18 pax defied the rules of gravity & pulled themselves from their comfy beds. The young-ins never seem to have a hard time with it, but the older guys always look a bit…..never mind.

With Short Haul coming down with a stomach virus during the night and not being able to Q, I felt like it was the perfect time to try a few things I’ve been wanting to try. 7 other PAX (8 PAX total) got after it and made me proud to be a part of F3 …

YHC rolled into the Hollow this morning with 16 eager Pax waiting. It is amazing how early all these Pax arrive to hang out prior to a beatdown. There were so many Pax (9) lit up for Stride Lite that it look like Christmas presented by Nox Gear. As Mercy Rule pointed out about halfway through …
Two months gone. Two months since my last Detention Q. Been really disconnected from the Gloom, you guys. Travelling for work going on 5 weeks in a row; so any time I’m home I’m either catching up on paperwork or enjoying the new (yes, new) Netflix subscription with the wife. That stuff is poison but …
11 PAX showed up for a “surprise” Q at Crypt this morning. Fat Amy showed up as well, which is one of YHC’s favorites. Lots of mumble chatter and lots of work took place in the gloom. Here’s a bit about Fat Amy. Circle Up for 5 rounds of 5 SSH IC, 3 burpees. Mosey …
15 Pax (2 for SL, 1 FNG) came out to join YHC for a double WOD this morning. YHC had been a Crossfit junkie before F3 and when some needed props for a previously planned Q didn’t work out, I went back to my roots and dug up a couple of WOD’s (Workout Of the …
What a beautiful morning. YHC was put in the EH hard by the silver fox that may have in turn needed his own EH this morning. The no show thus ruined efforts in deterring a plank challenge…oh well it will make us better. Putz wasn’t last to show but not because he was on time. …
Today marked 3 years of F3 and being a “Bushman” for YHC. This calls for a celebration and a celebration is what we had!! 22 of F3s finest HIMs showed up for a party like no other. This is how it shook out….. Weather: Felt fine to me but I’m a tropical creature Disclaimer/Prayer The …
YHC has had a rough summer. Injuries and vacations and a general sense of laziness has been a real struggle. The hell with all of that…it is time to get back to work. YHC warned the Pax they would be punished for the above, and YHC hopes the beatdown delivered. Weather: 71 and not as …
YHC signed up several weeks back toQ at C.A.T. with the hopes of being MUCH further along into the recovery process.

The PAX of Urban Legend had a tough Q last week with Knozit taking them on a field trip (great BB too), so YHC decided to keep things “fun” and on-campus. The crowd was a bit lighter than anticipated, but it made for a better competition in the end, with some pretty winded PAX by …
Was it even real futbol? With lacrosse goals running sideline to sideline, throw-ins being replaced by kick-ins, and Double Fault using his hands like a pro bowl left tackle fighting for position, the crowd in attendance had to be perplexed trying to identify what they were watching. Nonetheless, there was a game. With Pinot on …
13 PAX post for YHC’s first F3Lexington Q. The air was filled with good energy, trepidation, excitement, and a dash of mystery. Would YHC deliver? Could he count? Did he get a quick in person tutorial (Yes). The reality of the situation is that YHC had a long unbroken streak of only Qing at his …
About 5 years ago YHC got an invite from none other than Spackle to “this workout thing where a group of guys did a few exercises” or something like that. It’s been a great 5 years! Ironically, 4 other pax showed up for a grand total of ….. 5. 5 Year Anniversary – Let’s Do …

Well as chatter on the board last night was going around, our AOQ made it known that today’s QIC would be the Lucky 7, meaning who ever rolled in as the 7th to arrive had the Q. YHC didn’t really think too much about this as he’s usually early but trouble locating clothes after vacation …
YHC didn’t really have a definitive plan this morning. Probably shouldn’t confess that fact, but lack of planning for YHC sometimes leads to his best workouts. Today might not have been a top 5 beat down, but 6 men posted, work was done, and we are all better for it. Here’s how things went down …
The Bounty is always a tough workout. Today was no exception. It’s been a little while since we’ve gone back to the basics of a speed workout, but today we made it happen with some 400 Meter repeats. It’s amazing how running around the track 1x with a little extra effort can completely sap all …

First of all I’ll like to thank the guys who posted for coming out and putting in some hard work and (hopefully) having a little fun.

3 PAX for SL led by the speedy CoonDog and LEGO with one unnamed PAX bringing up the rear. ‘Twas the night before BC and all through twitter, HC’s were plentiful as was the chatter. Two of the loudest HC’s remained in their fartsacks, instead of 12, we had 10 PAX. The 10 that showed …
YHC pinch hit for Ponzi who recently tweaked his back. Talking to H4T last night, it was apparent that the heat needed to be brought to the men of Detention.

YHC would love to be able to celebrate 3 years. Unfortunately YHC’s body is not up to the challenge. Multiple right knee surgeries and one rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis have taken its toll.

Signing up to Q at the Hollow is not for the faint of heart, thin skinned, or unprepared type. You better bring your A game, be ready to weather mumble chatter, and have a Q planned to push these beasts. Oh, it’s also a good idea to show up if you HC. Before YHC gets …
An open Q slot on the Graveyard Tuesday sheet meant it was time to dust off the logs and get the Graveyard boys running up and down the stairs. A few music requests for ABBA were delivered in the beginning, but Spackle and Rebar couldn’t handle it so we switched to a more appropriate playlist …

So on Friday DriSoket posted on Wander’s message board that he and Argyle had a 4 mile route planned for Sunday (today) that would start at 5:00.
