Twas a dark moonless morning at Undertow. Didn’t sleep much the night before as my mind was filled with thoughts of starring in the Carolina version of Blair Witch Project. My early morning nerves were settled once I saw that Shredder was already on site. 5:15 came and went, there were no more takers so it was just me, Shredder, and some rather large bullfrogs. Warm-up 20 X SSH in cadence 15 Imperial Walkers in…

5We had 5 men out at Undertow including Clutch, Shredder, Austin Powers, Autotune, and myself, Captain Jack. We started out with some brief warm-up activities. Next, we moseyed over to the pull up bars on the trail. As a team we did 200 pull ups. Every minute on the minute we took turns on the bar doing as many pull ups as we could to reach the cumulative 200. Meanwhile the other pax did various…
2As the headlights started rolling into the darkest AO in Lake Wylie, YHC was was appreciative of the men who showed up. There was a lot of promotion for another AO and it’s Co-Q happening the same day. A quick disclaimer was provided and YHC introduced the theme for our morning. Preparedness: getting ready for the expected while being ready for unexpected. First question/statement to the PAX: How do you get ready for your day,…
58 PAX made the journey to Undertow to join me in celebrating 39 years on this planet. As a child, I dreamed of one day celebrating my 39th birthday doing utterly stupid things with grown men at Clover Community Park. Dreams really do come true! We set out on our exploration of Undertow with a brief mosey to an open rock face area in the woods. It felt like we were on the moon. When…
3For QvQ I wanted to do something a little different but incorporate coupons, typical exercises, and running. Partner up One pax will do an exercise while the other pax will run to the coupon (ruck), do 3 man makers and lieutenant dan 4 parking spots, then run to the end of the parking lot and back. The goal is to get your coupon down the parking lot and back. Very similar to a dora just…
0Arrived at Undertow with a few cars in the lot, smaller group then the previous weeks. We all stepped out about 5 minutes to start time and I used all of that waiting on Chardonnay since he mentioned coming a couple times this week. 5:15 came and I gave the mission statement and off we went for a mosey. If figured we’d go to the other end of the park just incase Chardonnay went to…
2Dang Undertow is sweet. Even though it’s dark and a little farther out, this site has a lot to offer. One thing in particular is that awful gravel trail that leads from the parking lot to small pavilion (the only spot with lights). I never Q’d the infamous covid quarantine ladder so I wanted to put my spin on it. Run the gravel trail to pavilion (footpath shows .44 miles, Clutch says otherwise) – 5…
4Bear Crawl Races and other Fun Things At 5:14am, we Disclaimed and then 6 HIM’s moseyed over the walking trails at Clover Memorial Park; headlamps are a “must have” at this AO, it’s a darker kind of gloom around here! The town of Clover is extremely frugal when it comes to turning off the streetlights, anyways we ran about a ½ mile then ran back to the flag. Warm-O-Rama Plank: Mountain Climbers, Down Dogs, Honeymooners…
2Five men Plus myself and a box of Craft mac & cheese showed up at the darkest AO in the nation. I asked everybody were their frozen peas were and everybody gave me a blank stare. I asked if they’ve ever at any point feared they wouldn’t have a meal. They all responded “no”. So I grabbed my box mac & cheese and we took off. No disclaimer. It was given in the chat the…
