CONDITIONS Clear skies, lower 50’s, the evening dew leaving the grasses of Ballentine park glistening, much like the 6 shiny PAX who joined YHC for what was to be an epic beatdown that was termed by all who attended as “fun” and maybe even a little well…”inspiring”. Now said dew combined with low-ish permeability silty …
‘Twas a chilly morning at Depot but still shorts weather. Also, no better way to warm up than some cardio! WARM UP A group jog while one PAX sprints from the back to front of the line. THE THANG BUCKS – all OYO 5 Block Burpees run 1 lap 5 Block Burpees; 10 …
CONDITIONS 60+ degrees and moist….typical winter in SoCarl (no quite as cool sounding as “SoCal”, but maybe it will stick…we’ll see) WARM UP Most of the PAX did the #DepotDoubleDown and ran for varying distances of 3-8 miles, including m’boy Lap Dog (who skipped out on the hoops). M’boy Buddy Love, who recently got rid …
7 #MenOfDepot slayed the #fartsack for an improv Q at the hands of YHC. Usually YHC likes to meticulously lay out his Q’s with flashing lights, polyhedral dice, and/or politically offensive paraphernalia. Today; however, we decided to “wing it”. Quick BB for my many fan (singular intentional, thanks Mom for always hitting like button). Disclaimer/Warm …
“The Thang”: 15 PAX (a few good men) got up and fought of the snooze demons to make themselves better today. They came to smell what the Darla is cooking! Conditions were moist and humid…Time to bring it on! Warmup/CoP: After disclaimer, Indian run/jog around the Depot (guessing about 800 meters) to wake the body …
CONDITIONS Lower 70’s, dry, the early riser PAX put to work gathering blocks even before the one minute warning chime was rang. Murmurs in the background about how seeing flashing lights on the ground on the road into Depot are never good. PAX wondering what is under that sweaty towel on YHCs trunk (some even …
Conditions: 72 degrees and humid (to put it mildly) Disclaimer/Warm up 10 SSH OYO (I am standing by this not counting thing) The Thang Welcome to the third edition of THE Buddy Love Four stations were set up around the big loop at Depot Station 1 – 10 thrusters; 1 curl Station 2 – 10 …
Attention PAX! After an excellent event in pre-Covid 2020, the annual Lake Murray CSAUP is back in 2021. This time the event will be in….err I mean at Lake Murray. The Cottonmouth will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2021, at Dreher Island State Park. The launch time is tentatively 7:30am, with the event being …
Cottonmouth 2021 Pre-Blast – Event Details (3/13/21)Read More »
Environmental readings: 62 degrees, 83% humidity, low UV index, moon is in the waxing gibbous phase, and an unhealthy air quality (per the Weather Channel). Executive summary: overall a pleasant morning to post. 11 PAX (including 1 FNG) post this Thanksgiving morning looking to get a little better before eating a lot of turkey. But before we …
The Weather Chilly 34 Degrees at kickoff – clear skies, full hearts, can’t lose! Disclaimer – The grass was cold for a few of the snowflakes in the group, but as stated 1 minute prior to start, modify as needed. It should be noted that the modify was intended for physical exertion, not preference of …
After much anticipation for Whitney to return to the Q, the birthday doubleheader Q scheduled for July 28th and 30th had to be postponed due to YHC needing to travel to Illinois with the “M” for a death in the family. TClaps for the pax covering my Q’s at the last minute. Anyways…..On to today…..Weather …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 75.3 degrees F, humidity at 85.3%, barometric pressure slightly dropping indicating a weather front is moving in….oh, did I get this info from a fancy schmancy weather app? No sir, these specifics came from Fiji. Apparently one of the benefits of being a double-respect PAX (aside from $0.25 coffee at McDonald’s) is you get …
Hi All, Based on the success (no one died or got dysentery) of our assault on Sassafras Mountain earlier in the year, another backpacking adventure is in the works! This time, we’ll head north to the wilds of that “other” Carolina to summit “the Beast of the East” Mount Mitchell. Towering at nearly 6,700 feet, …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 65 degrees, fluorescent lighting, overwhelming smell of unfinished home improvement projects with a sprinkle of an M’s disappointment, and a wall full of tools just begging to be roughly handled and put to good use. Well….that was the experience from my garage at least. Speaking of tools wanting to be roughly handled, 21 other …
Conditions: Moist 19 (yes 19!) PAX posted on a cool, damp SC morning. The day’s festivities started slowly, as it became obvious nobody except our pre-BC runners set an alarm. Then at the stroke of 0630, reminiscent of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox, the remaining PAX emerged from the proverbial corn field for a main …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Temps hovering just below freezing, clear skies, with a beautiful super moon providing the luster of midday to PAX of Depot below! Who knew that this idyllic morning would end in tragedy…. #foreshadowing As YHC planted the shovel flag in the permafrost, he noticed the numbers growing and some folks we hadn’t seen for …
Good Day and Happy New Year!! It’s hard to believe that 2019 (and the 2010’s) are already behind us. In addition to setting goals for the new year, the end of the year is a great time to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments. To that end, below is a summary of our F3LM150 challenge …
Foxhole closed out 2019 with a strong showing of 11 pax! Mumble chatter was average (and by “mumble chatter” I mean “bitching about the cold… or the work… or both”), but the leg work was aplenty. We also welcomed an FNG this morning. Mr. Lou Tepper (Lunch Lady’s father), joined us and stood his own …
Flu-like symptoms claimed our Super Special Guest Q Enos, so two Foxhole VIPs put their heads together for a Co-Q. ??? Last week this dynamic duo introduced the pax to “The Plory”, so this week…… “The Torn B”! Intimidating, right? Anyhow, 7 pax posted this morning in an …
So what do you get when you cross a Plan B with a Tory? More silence…. Deafening silence….. …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Jimmy Buffett once wisely said “It’s 5 o’Clock somewhere”. Turns out that margarita sippin, Hawaiian shirt wearin’, sage was right. It was 5 o’clock, 0500, 5 AM, when we kicked off our Q this morning at Foxhole (if 0530 is the “butt crack of dawn”, perhaps 0500 is the “taint of dawn”???, can I …
This morning was a big one at Foxhole. Big for several reasons really. Big because we hit double-digits for the first time in quite a while! Big because there was a lot to cram into a short, 45 min. boot camp. And big because this is (in the neighborhood of) YHC’s 6 year anniversary as …
6 Pax showed up at Foxhole this morning in hopes of getting a little better – this was YHC’s 2nd Q of the week – you’re welcome Foxholer’s! YHC and MeterMaid brought some tools for the PAX to enjoy this morning. More to follow 🙂 Conditions: 32 degrees with 65% humidity – cool to start …
It was 56 degrees and dry. In addition to being pretty perfect for a workout, it was about 30 degrees warmer than projected temperatures the rest of the week. Fartsacking was a poor choice. Here’s a sneak peak of Lap Dog on Thursday morning: It was a typical Hokie Pokie warm-up. You gotta give the …
Good day all! It’s been a little over 2 months since we revived the @f3LM150 challenge and much work has been done! This is the 2nd monthly update covering the period from when we started 9/1/19 through Saturday 11/2/19. For last month’s results, see here: September 2019 F3LM150 Update Since last month, we picked up …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 58 degrees, relatively clear skies, and more HIM testosterone than we’ve had at the Donut Run in a good while. In recent weeks YHC has been playing the country mouse/city mouse game bouncing back and forth between the rural CATE runs @f3stagger and the big city St. Andrews/Harbison runs @f3swagger. YHC likes to do …
Five pax took to The Foxhole this morning to help celebrate a special day for yours truly…. My Birthday. What started with the best of intentions ended up being an over-ambitious plan that had the pax bringing their A-game for the solid 45 minutes. I could just quietly take credit for the thorough beat down, …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Conditions were absolutely perfect this morning! Super clear skies with Orion looking down on us (not the constellation…..Orion is the name of the video system that Pothole installed at Depot to make sure the PAX have proper form). Temps were around 70 degrees and ideal for a pre-boot camp run. There were some….ummm…interesting discussions …
