Don’t be Offended

From Maximus after his Q at Crows Nest… Royale just helped post this! In recent months, I’ve realized how I’ve been offended by so much. Events are happening, things are said or things are left unsaid and I choose to take offense to them. I want to share my thoughts with the PAX and hopefully, they’ll choose to not be offended. Mosey down the road to the back lot with a mix of butt kickers…

Scuttle the ship at Black Flag!

I had the honor to Q the final workout at the original Black Flag AO at Good Samaritan Church. The site Q Shades and the SLT decided to move it going forward to the excellent Field Day Park in Paddler’s Cove, like The Brig AO.  I heard a few men might be running a little before the main event so I showed up 30 minutes early and was happy to see the running was already…

Barracuda Tag!

Once again another chilly morning.  Had less than normal at Barracuda today and we were missing several of the “fast” guys.  But I would make it work.  We took off for the other side of the street to one of our regular launch locations by Wendy’s.  We took a warm up lap and went all the way down the street to United Bank at the end and back to Wendy’s. When we returned to the…

It was a Buttermilk One Today!

8 PAX joined me for the final kettle bell workout in Lake Wylie for 2020.  What’s the best way to write a Weinke? Completely steal it from your local friends in The Fort.  Bandcamp put this together with some influence from a few backblasts written at F3-Metro’s Combine (Kettlebell and Sprinting) AO.  It seemed like a good one so I made a few modifications for this morning. Several of our PAX like the idea of…

Who’s missing a glove?

Barracuda….running with extra work.  I was dreading this day, the worst are these days where it’s 33 degrees and raining.  I thought for sure that I could talk 1-2 guys that would come to just go get coffee instead.  Well, 9 other aggressive men showed up on this terrible day so it looked like we would be working.  I told them all they were idiots and we took off. Moseyed across the street in the…

Achieving Goals at Crows Nest

We started December with a rainy day in the 50s.  It was pouring when I left me house but only a few sprinkles for our 45 minute workout this day.  It was wet but it was fun! The runners had already left from Seahorse and we had 6 men ready to go.  I prepared a theme today for something that I’ve been struggling with for the Weinke today.  More below. We moseyed from the parking…

When it Rains, it pours at Undertow

It was my first time to Q at undertow, definitely honored to give this place a shot.  Thanks Clutch!  We expected a good bit of rain and if you’ve been to Clover Community Park in the AM it’s quite dark.  I put a few options together depending on the amount of the rain (and still screwed up the order, more on that later.) When we got to 5:15am we had 4 PAX join me to…

Tugboat

I had the privilege of Qing the ruck workout for the 3rd Saturday after the move.  We started the pre-ruck at 5:30am and put in 3.5 miles of walking carrying heavy things with 6 PAX.  As we came to the 6:30am start time for the ruck workout we made a few changes for add/drops and ended up with 5 of us to headed out on the ruck.  Survey Says and his BIL Peach joined us…

The Nessie! Bigger and Badder in 2020

It’s back! On Saturday morning 10/24/20, the premier CSAUP for the Lake Wylie region will be longer and tougher than last years beast.  Come out to challenge yourself and to be able to say, I slayed the Nessie!  We will be travelling around 10.5 – 12 miles and making several stops at our local AOs for some pain.  We’ll be launching from Cannonball and finishing there as well.  Launch time will be 6:30AM that Saturday.…

Don’t mess with the Lunch Lady

We made it to Week #2 back at Undertow over at Griggs Elementary school.  Clutch was kind enough to put me on Q…too bad it was the day after Week 0 of the Iron PAX Challenge.  Everyone hurt.  Yet a dozen men still showed up to join me in the gloom, including Nightstick who was an FNG the day before for IPC!  He must have terrible friends….Shakespeare. We did some stretching, and complaining about the…
