No Hunk Alerts for IPC Week 2
A few weeks ago, our fearless AOQ Blue Rhino negotiated a Q swap with Lumbergh, so YHC was voluntold to make the drive out to Pleasant Hill and visit the men of Ambush. A task which I happily accepted because you’d be hard pressed to find a funnier group of guys or a better example …

Bear With It!
This morning was YHC’s 2 year anniversary, and 10 Pax came out to enjoy the rain free BC. The weather was finally nice outside! Two years ago I walked into a circle of men, not really knowing what to expect. I was out of shape, couldn’t run a half mile, and 25lbs heavier. Little did …
One McGruber Short of a Six Pack……
Looked like a lot of PAx were anticipating rain so they fartsacked and missed the call to the bullpen when YHC stepped in for Iron Mary who was out on family duties. It was a small but fun group that tried to confuse YHC at times but in the end did more complaining about the …
Failure
21 of F3 Lexington’s finest men dropped the DRP and posted in hopes of “(M)aking (S)aturdays (G)reat (A)gain”. Overall Saturday numbers have been inching down over time so YHC set out to change that trend by inviting these men to come together with the only goal being “FAILURE”. As noted by Puck, anyone can fail …

Three Years at the ‘Bush
Three years ago, I rolled up to Ambush and really didn’t know what to expect. Really didn’t know how it would change me. Today I celebrate with men who I have sweated or froze with during workouts, ran races with, ate lunches with, talked about God with, been held accountable by, and guys who I …

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.

Did you say sixty or sixteen? Ninety or nineteen? Aww heck, I’m not counting anyway.
The guys at Ambush know how to have a good time. They might not be able to count above 40, but they know how to have a good time. The mumblechatter is always entertaining and you know what you are getting into when you arrive. Seriously, they always put in hard work and have a …

38 Special
YHC showed up for stride light this morning and a solid 8 PAX were waiting to run. Jam led us on the ‘Rabbit Loop’ which includes a long dirt road. Definitely a different experience. Meter ran to the work out from home so we had 100% participation at stride light. Strong work but that’s what …

Windy Loops and Blocks
Today was YHC’s first Q at Ambush. This is the closest AO to home, but because of work being just across I-20 from Graveyard, rarely visited by YHC. There are some tough customers out here.

It Could Have Been Worse
The forecast did not look good for the gloom. Yesterday there was chatter of 100% chance of rain but that did not stop the HC’s. As YHC rolled in the parking lot for SL, Brita and Lumbergh were waiting. With the rain this morning we kept the stridelite in the confines of the Ambush territory. …
Fun times had at The Hollow for today’s Saturday-vergence
We had a good Saturday crowd at The Hollow with representation of multiple AOs – including Mulligan from F3 Sumter. He showed up ready to run, work-out, or whatever we had planned. Sounds like he’ll be a Saturday regular as he has moved here but is still working in Sumter. There were ~8 for SL, …

Since it felt like forever since I had Q’ed at Ambush, YHC snagged an open slot a few weeks back. I figured I’d do a block routine of some type.
