Just a lil’ GoRuck prepping
With the Veteran’s Day GR Tough fast approaching, we thought it would me good to have some extra ruck based training. So we turned a Saturday Convergence into a GoRuck bootcamp. Muggy Tape and Kenwood put together some ideas and made it happen. Argyle’s work schedule got in the way this time (we’ll have to …
Gut Punch Tuesday @F3TheHollow
It’s been a little while since anyone has dialed up the dreaded Gut Punch at the Hollow, so YHC thought it would be a good idea to serve it up to the PAX for a reminder of how much it sucks! Work was done! Disclaimer Prayer COP SSH x 15 IC Windmill x 10 IC …
Triple Threat
On the first cooler morning of the year 11 PAX defied the fartsack to post for an MR grip strength inspired Q. YHC joined 2 other PAX for Ruck Lite. The Pax are some of F3 Lexington’s finest and just completed the 9/11 HTL in the big apple to hear some of the war stories …
The Hollow gets started with 7-Elevens
YHC snagged the Q today expecting lots of rain. As usual the rain paused during the workout and gave us a chance to loop the school while putting in some work. 7-Elevens was the theme for the day. Frizzle got in solo miles. Cramps squeezed a couple SL miles in and managed to avoid most …
Saturdayvergence at BeechHouse
Coming off the GoRuck HTB in NYC, YHC knew he would be in recovery mode this weekend. Seeing that the Q sheet was open, I grabbed the lead today to make sure I got a chance to work out any sore muscles. I chose to do another run of the 52 card pick up routine …
52CardPickup at The Hollow
YHC’s birthday usually falls on the BRR weekend so I have been doing my birthday Q on that prior Tuesday. Since I’m heading to NYC with Argyle for the 9/11 HTL next weekend, I figured I’d do my birthday Q a week early. I’ll be turning 52 and came up with a 52CardPickup game that …
The Hollow PAX roll with the punches
Coming off vacation, I decided the best way to get back in to the swing of things was to jump into the empty Q slot at The Hollow. So I recycled my dice workout (again) for sake of simplicity. As usual lots of high numbers were rolled – which are all the Pax’s fault! Here’s …
Sure is quiet out here at The Hollow
YHC was hanging out with his good buddy Brick last night and we noticed that no one had the Q at Hollow today. It was assumed that Cramps would just take it over today, but there was no chatter in the Hollow group page. This created a somewhat ominous feeling and YHC worried he may …
EMOM “Fun”
It was great to be back at The Hollow this morning! YHC has been away for the last couple of months attempting to prepare for the BRR. Good group this morning with a couple new guys. Happy to see new faces! A healthy Region always has new faces and thankfully F3LexSC is still doing a …
Bear Crawls and More at The Hollow
YHC hasn’t Q’d here in a couple of months, so he looked forward to this one. After dropping off Shawshank’s shovel flag, YHC arrived to an empty parking lot except for one lone runner. Kenwood showed up about a minute afterwards and then the PAX started to shuffle in from there. It was a good …

May Homecoming @ The Hollow Continues
This month has been slated as our homecoming month, encouraging former AOQs and Nantans and whoever to come lead the guys. I figured it wouldn’t be a true homecoming if the PVC pipes didn’t make an appearance. So I signed up, threw the toys in the car, and made it happen. Weather was great. A …
The no plan plan
Well YHC had the Q today at Shawshank’s Saturdayvergence. Admittedly I may not have been there had I not Q’ed. I had a long week and coulda easily fartsacked. That is one of the reasons today’s weinke had a few blanks to fill in. The guys stepped up and picked out a few winners to …

Around the Horn
9 PAX ascended upon the gloomy confines of The Hollow this morning to see what YHC had in store. YHC didn’t really know either, but knew he’d stay off the upper body. That we did. We covered around 3 miles and hit the legs pretty good. It wasn’t YHC’s best but we got better. Disclaimer …
Joking aside, it was a fun morning at The Hollow.
It turned out to be a chilly morning. Several PAX commented about how cold it was. The theme for today was to have fun. Being April Fool’s Day, jokes were encouraged along the way. Frizzle was out there early to get his miles in. Wild Hog and Slum Lord ran during bootcamp to help prep …

The Hollow Takes on SIDD
Weather Conditions: 45° and windy 13 Pax took on a visitor Q from their friendly Shawshank neighbor.

YHC was looking forward to eating Lizard’s Thicket with a certain pax, but we’ll save that for …
Juice or Sauce? Who knows, but work was done
It had been a while since YHC had signed up on the Q sheet and wouldn’t you know it, the forecast called for 90% chance of rain – however we were spared the moisture and stayed dry throughout-other than some heavy humidity and perspiration. Here’s what went down: 1 for StrideSite, 2 runners during BC …
Campaign Q #26: The Hollow
#CampaignQ #26 made its way to The Hollow this AM. YHC knew these men were up to a challenge so a slightly modified Cryptonite special was on the #weinke.
