Iron Pax Whiskey D
For those that are unaware, there’s a thing called the Iron Pax Challenge. It’s a 4 week long challenge that our brothers from Greenwood SC (shoutout to some dudes I met down there while running a route they call The Dong. Or is it the Wang? – Baby Blue and Judge Judy) put together that’s […]
Mennonite in the Morning at the Mount
YHC has deep Anabaptist roots from both Menno Simons and Jakob Ammann, so what better than to bring a barn-raising to the Mount? YHC trimmed his Amish beard, donned his simple straw hat, and drove his black buggy to the Mount (aka blue truck, but no brethren were watching). 14 PAX arrive, eager to begin the […]
Rummy!
Pulled in to find the Pax waiting patiently for my arrival. I was late. Everyone made fun of YHC’s voice. I think I sound strong and mysterious, like Tom Waits. But really I sound tired and soul sucking like Patty and Selma Bouvier. Warm-up Guys, I made made it through three whole exercises without messing […]
Old ER – In reverse
Woke up, drank coffee, donned safety gear (always), ran past Snuggles n’ Cuddles (also always), and arrived at the ER at 0528 to be greeted by 14 PAX. Great crowd this am at The Concrete Beast. The call on the workout was an easy one as it popped in YHC’s head last week while driving […]
F3 Granite Falls Q School, Part 3
“Wait . . . there is a third part to F3 Q School? I knew about part one, where we discuss the history, structure and reasoning behind the three Fs over a beer or sweet tea. And, of course, the beatdown portion was a no brainer; I knew that was coming. But what is this […]
Hills and Heavy Things
Four pax started this morning’s event, five finished. Pretty good completion rate if you ask me. The Thang 0514- YHC begins giving the disclaimer. 0515- YHC begins backpedaling in the direction of today’s march. 0516- Twig finally gets his ancient, balloon-filled ruck on his back, and we are off. Ruck over to the cinder block […]

3rd Ave Strikes Again
Weather: Too warm for this guy. In fact, I’m still sweating from Saturday. Thang: Warmups. Pretty standard really. Mosey down 3rd Ave turn right on Road to Bottom of Oakwood Cemetery. At least that was the plan. About 20 steps into that mosey I heard several Are you ok?s followed by some You sure?s. Looked […]
Rucks of pain
Wow the IPC wk1 is no joke. 3 pax thought it would be a good idea to double down this morning. We met at 0600 to knock out the challenge needless to say it knock us out instead. We gave it all we had for a sold 2 and a half rounds and knowing we […]
