YHC picked up Tugboat and Shades picked up the Deep. Shades reached out to me and asked if we could converge the WO with a taste of the past from Iron PAX series. We discussed bringing a message and delivering the work. Always love getting to the intersection in the morning at 49 and seeing the F3 stickers, as I mentioned before when you’re following consecutive vehicles with that marking….You’re going in the right direction!…
2Just a Walk in the Park (whilst it was 88 degrees and Sunny) Pitch and I introduced ourselves as co-Q’s, a Disclaimer was disclaimed and then we took off … no warm-o-rama, ‘twas already hot outside. So let’s jump in shall we. Set 1 (Pitch) Cardio, Accelerators – while jogging through the park, Pitch offered the Pax intermittent breaks to do the following: Stop 1 – 5 Burpees Stop 2 – 5 Burpees, 10…
4And the Co-Q’s in Lake Wylie continue…O’Reilly and I paired up for a Q at one of the OG Lake Wylie AO’s, and our immediate plan was to make it heavy. I think we accomplished that. Official Tire Count – 10 “normal” tires (thanks Clutch) and 4 tractor tires (2 of which were Goliath and my tire that is as tall as me). At 5:13a we had 16 pax, so we started w/ F3 principles…
4Welcome PAX to the AAR(After Action Report) for GTE22. It has taken me some time to unpack all of my thoughts and sit down and write this. Whiskey, Two Ferns, Bones, and Royale were able to process everything a bit faster. What follows are some of our takeaways from GTE 22 – Grandstrand. It was an amazing weekend that I don’t think any of us will forget. Whiskey During each rucking event that I…
1011 Pax showed up on a humid morning in the gloom ready to work, including two first timers at Barracuda. Everyone got a little individual stretching in, YHC gave a brief overview of the work for the day and we were off. We ran across Mill Pond, hung a left on Nautical Dr. and made our way down to Azteca for some speed work. The loop around the shopping center and Azteca was…
2Calling all Grow Ruck 24 participants AND all Pax who want to step up and do something a little different than what they’re used to. We’re doing this – we’re getting a coupon ruck simulation set up in Lake Wylie, with plenty of hills, inclusive of a not so well known MOUNTAIN. You will get wet. You’ll be tired, because we’re going to do this after you’ve already posted for the day, and after you…
5It was a cool 91 degrees out at the flag. Yours truly took the Q from Nemo who was out with an alleged shirt tucking injury. I led the other 6 brave men on a random mosey with random stops and reps. First was cherry pickers, sun gods and imperial walkers. We ran some more and did a bunch of dips. We ran some more and did hillbilly walkers and something else. All were in…
7I have been posting for a few years in the Lake Wylie region. My first post in Lake Wylie was at The Abyss, however I had never been out here to “Q” a workout. I had a general idea of what I wanted to do when Grassy Knoll asked me a few weeks back. After a brief disclaimer, we took a long mosey out of the school and came back in from the entrance off…
0I got to Paddlers Cove a few minutes early went to the pool house set up the Lake Wylie flag, left my speaker and some chalk behind for future use in the night. I made my way back to where we stick the flag and a some guys were already huddled up. Then a few FNG’s showed up and we grabbed up who would later become “Scantron” and welcomed him to our group. He had…
2Today was the first day Pitch was the site Q. I let everybody know they might need some gloves. I gave a brief disclaimer and we took off towards the church. I had previously set up the big tires at the bottom of the half pipe. We took a quick lap around the dark loop and I pointed out a couple station areas. Then we went back to where the tires were at the bottom…
