After my last Q at the mountain, someone who shall not be named (cough Saban cough) commented that we didn’t run the mountain enough. I pondered this comment and Saban’s brave decision to challenge me in preparation for this workout. Four strapping Pax started the workout with a light warmup …
YHC warned the PAX that it was going to be a soggy shoe day. The overnight rain came through as expected, and sure enough – the grounds of Okwata were as soggy as I hoped. Much to my surprise, the Lakeview PAX made a strong showing. Perhaps rumors of the …
To assist Frac and me in accomplishing the January ISI goal of 3,100 burpees, I signed up to Q the 385-ish running of the 610 Stomp. I devised a simple algorithm to perform 10 burpees every 6 minutes to keep the math simple. I announced we would run out and …
Holiday parties are in full swing (’tis the season) and YHC had Friday and Saturday night engagements. It’s great to see friends and loved ones through the holidays and to celebrate with them. What’s not so great is how you feel after you celebrate. Tool voluntold me I had the …
We started off the morning with some SSH, Grass Grabbers, Windmills, Mountain Climbers, and Arm Circles. Once we finished a nice, cold mosey to the base of the mountain, the Pax took part in some good ole ab exercises: LBCs and American Hammer. As a shock to some of our …

Eight Veteran Pax showed up at the Foundry with the intent to lead. YHC attempted to inform the other seven of the Q sheet and how easy it is to use. It did not go well, and went something like this: YHC: Use the Q Sheet guys, it’s not hard. …
5:20am – 41 degrees. All but 5 of the cinder blocks are missing under the ramp. Off to a great start. Dispatch PAX to the Wisner Bridge cache and start setting up for VQ. Forget speaker. Putting the “V” in this “VQ” right off the bat. Let’s start while 2 …
