F3 Lexington Backblasts
Allow YHC to set the scene; summer in South Carolina is officially among us, it’s the day after a holiday, school is almost out, and the list goes on and on. Aside from the outside noise and distractions is man’s inner desire to sweat, put in work, start his day off right, and leave better …
Surge’s Q sheet is usually booked out a couple months in advance – which is a good thing. When I signed up to Q, I’m not sure if I knew it was the day after Memorial Day. Or that I would be dragging soooo bad from a couple days at the beach. But I managed to …

Several years ago, Peyton Manning made the phrase, “Omaha, Omaha” famous.

YHC graduated from Gilbert HS back in the day, and hasn’t really been back. That changed today! It was a fun workout filled with lots of good mumble chatter and fellowship. YHC was aware of the PAX’s allergies to a “warm up” and SSH’s… so it was exploited. Lot’s of hard work was put in …
The Jauntlet began this morning at The Bounty and it was requested to bring the toughest routes/workouts for everyone to enjoy. This was a tough decision because everything is equally tough.

Has it really been a year? YHC got to the Q-sheet last month before anyone else could snag this day as it is my 1-year anniversary and I wanted the Q rather than having Voltron assign some random day to me. It was indeed one year ago that I showed up at The Arena with …
Another excellent morning attended by some of Shawshank’s finest. We’ll focus on the ones there and not the ones who weren’t. Tclaps to Soaker, Cheers, and Coon Dog for some Stridelite miles.

YHC had a pretty good run of posting at The Bounty last year. But this year, not so much. It’s very clear that missing time at The Bounty takes a toll on any so called “speed” YHC may have ever had. It’s time to get back on it and see if I can get back …

YHC has a collection of ridiculous workouts, but CLAM DIP SODA was so popular last time, he decided to bring it back today. This crowd pleasing Workout was, ahem, “designed” to hit all body parts.

YHC had Q’d at CAT earlier in the week during their April Trivia Q month. We made it through about half the “are you smarter than a 5th grader” questions I had prepared. So for today’s Q at Snakepit, I figured we’d pick up where CAT left off. There was 1 for SL and 1 …

Today’s workout was another installment of April trivial Qs at CAT.
