With all eyes returning to Scotland for Carnoustie and the British Open, it was time for the return of the Scot to get the lads ready. Sticks were swung (big ones) and ‘bells were rung. Double Down doubled up the Q this morning for both TheCastle and Ironyard. Work was done. Conditions – hot and …
YHC may have been running a little late getting there but the group is really starting to mesh. No sooner did YHC arrive and we learn that Paper Jam (in case I fartsacked) had come up with the exact route. But occasionally images get reversed in transmission so YHC reversed my plan and we achieved …

The pax showed up in force to do work under favorable weather conditions (clear, low-70s, mild humidity). Perhaps it was the weather that brought them out, or the desire to support a brother Q-ing on a special day. Probably it was the filthy lie that someone was bringing cake, despite a very clear tweet to …

Walk a Mile in Their Shoes is a local event supporting Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands, a local rape crisis counseling and …
This year’s Gauntlet will take F3 Lexington’s ultimate week-long CSAUP event and double it in an “Old School” vs. “New School” beatdown that’s got to be experienced to be believed. All PAX from Lexington (as well as our surrounding regions) are invited to come out and join in the “fun” as we visit 10 AOs …
Twas a brisk mornin’ with a breeze in the air when Clan Ironyard breached the gates for a mini-convergence of sorts, and the Circle of Pain. The Laddys had demonstrated their abilities to hoist a glass the previous weekend for St. Paddys, but now needed to start thinkin’ barrel chests, not barrels of beer as …
Woodshed and Legion have been regularly meeting up on top of Indian Mound since Legion first planted its shovel flag in 2015.

The pax of f3 saluda started to pull into the parking lot with a few minutes to spare. There were tales of how much of a beat down Ranger brought on Saturday. YHC had the Q for the first time (at boot camp) since hip surgery in October. YHC was worried that the Q would …
YHC fancies himself as more of a runner than a boot-camper. But Collar must have wanted to change that so, without consulting YHC, I found myself added to the list of Hammer Qs. For YHC’s VQ. Yes, you read that right. Somehow YHC has slipped through the cracks. But no more. 10 pax and YHC …
YHC got up this morning to trade the warmth and falsehoods of the fartsack for the cold of the honest gloom. He desired to meet more men that have taken the DRP. More than usual the Q-drenaline level had peaked due to the priviledge of Q’ing the fresh PAX of F3 Saluda and meeting these …
During a convergence run around River Bluff High School, a friend of mine (Happy Trees) mentioned his desire to run The Reaper as we mosey’d up the hill where said workout occurs each Friday morning. Happy Trees had yet to run The Reaper because of its distance from his home AO (Smokehouse). Being Christmas and …

F3 men helping young men of Palmetto Place. Or is it the other way around? The first workout at the New Palmetto Place is in the books. Young men learned what a real beat down is. In fact, I think I was more exhausted leading the Q then many of the others. I regret that …
