I did not expect a large crowd the morning after the 4th. Only Hemingway and Pickle made it. After going over the route and a quick prayer we took off. It wasn’t long before the sweat started pouring. Hemingway made it about halfway before he had to tap out. Pickle was too far ahead for …
Needing to Q at Urban Legend, I checked the Q sheet and saw that July 5th was available. I didn’t know what the turnout would be since it was the day after a holiday, vacation season, and a good day for guys to take off work. We had 10 PAX total with 3 being 2.0s. …

YHC’s closest AO is Shawshank and yet has only posted there a few times, mostly because of work schedule. But since YHC has off on the 4th of July, today was a little different!!

Urban Legend was originally designed as a bootcamp that moved around the Town of Lexington but safety of the pax was a concern. It can still be done but safety must be paramount. We moved off campus today, touring Virginia Wingard Park, Church St, and Icehouse Amphitheater. We did cross a couple of streets but …
Its that time of year again. Yes I am talking about BRR training. This year YHC wanted to add more elevation and stay off of 378. Everyone enjoyed the new route in some sort of a weird and twisted way. Only half of the PAX got lost… well that’s actually not true, we all …

We ran to Smokehouse to find FIA. One PAX decided to stay and keep the Rooster company.

Hard to believe it’s been 3 years since Tardy and Banjo convinced me to set my alarm and actually come out to my first F3 workout! At the time, I had the same excuse as all other FNGs…”Y’all are crazy! 5:15 is way too early! No way I’d ever get up that early just to …

YHC ventured out to Surge for my 2nd visit, and 1st Q. These dudes are beasts. Mumble chatter levels weren’t on par with The Hollow, or Detention, but that’s probably because they’re out there kicking tail and working relentlessly. Other AO’s take note, these guys aren’t messing around. #TCLAPs to these PAX for putting in …
Drisocket challenged the pax of the Westside to step up and co-Q at CAT for the month of June. YHC could think of no other pax than Paper Jam to Q with. Mainly because no matter how bad my part of the Q was it was almost guaranteed to be superior to anything he would …
Bing led 8 PAX at The Rock, Lego was the lonely SL rep, and 11 PAX showed up for BC. The early 17th century Latin vocabulary had a word…conari’…which means to try. The men of Shawshank took that up a notch and exercised their full conation which means to exercise one’s mental faculty or will …
Well, GED got YHC to commit to Q an Anchor kettlebell workout, then bowed out because he needed some beauty sleep… He was missed, but not just because we didnt have music, we missed his encouragement too.

Today, YHC took us back to a Hollow favorite with some Corner Strike. There was some brief mumble chatter, …
YHC signed up for today’s Q like most in The Arena….before I got voluntold. I figured I could write my name on a piece of paper next to some random date in June and feel good about “volunteering” for the Q instead of being assigned. Today, 7 HIM faced the gloom head-on, went beast-mode on …
Several of the PAX noted that the AOQ has been missing a few morning recently and in the tweet the night before, mentioned he might actually show up. YHC threw out a little challenge, which was followed by a little Twitter mumblechatter, and the AOQ acutally did post for the Q, which made the pax …

11 pax joined together for the futbol adventure at the Bluff.

Strong work today by the Crypt pax. Heavy emphasis on everything this AM: pecs, legs, shoulders, abs, cardio.

The PAX were impressed today that YHC used the word “volition” during the disclaimer. So much so, that it was mentioned several times throughout the course of the workout. Whether or not it was to poke fun at YHC or it was genuinely a gesture of admiration, most likely the former, it was such an …
