My return to my home base, Okwata, was exciting since I haven’t been here since the Murph in May. I know this AO always offers the potential for the toughest workouts between the elements and structures/obstacles offered. I was excited to know that there was no Q on the sheet …
Somewhat muddy day at Okwata with 5 PAX: Jingle Vader, Surge, Saban, Highrise, and Catfish (Q). Moseyed out to the shore area for a warmup with SSH, Windmills, and Grass Grabbers. Moved on to some Bat wings, then got some Imperial Squat Walkers in. Got things rev’d up with 10 …
Like many of you, I’ve taken to reading and following David Goggins, whose story is both inspirational and at times, crushingly real. I won’t spoil any of it – the book is well worth the 20 bucks. One of Goggins’ guiding principles is the concept of going to war with …
Lovely morning on the lake with 8 PAX: Quiche, Jingle Vader, Da Parish, Bongo, Surge, High Rise, Abacus, Catfish (Q). Started with a mosey over to the base of Canal. Warmed up with SSH, 8-counts, Peter Parker Peters, Shoulder Taps, 100s, Slow V-Ups, Catalinas, Floyds, SSH, and Imperial Squat Walkers. …
The Q Sheet has been updated and there is plenty of room to Q Okwata. Join us at the “Wide Water”. Today we reminisced on some of the “Best Of’s” to ever grace the Lakefront Sunrise. W/U Mosey around the fountain > Butt Kicks > Karaoke > High Knees > …

Gentlemen, it was a brisk morning on the Lakefront today; which got me thinking about how working out indoors might be nice; which then got me thinking about which exercises I would do if I were in the gym; which then got me thinking about the different gym equipment I …
More 2.0s than Dads gathered at UrbanSouth Brewery for the annual Christmas beatdown and fest. Quick disclaimer and we were off up Market St. Some ambitious 2.0s had to be full-stopped before racing across Religious St. in the dark. A few motorists were surprised by the pack the of seemingly …
A typical summer (in October?) morning with an atypical lack of a breeze coming off the lake led to a lovely humid morning in the gloom. 13 PAX joined me for a little prep workout for the upcoming H8 in 2 weeks. Disclaimer was given and off we went around …
Despite fair warning, 14 men set off into a pleasant September gloom this morning at Okwata. The warning: bring your running shoes, we’re trying something new. And so we did. Since we started doing Okwata, YHC has been wanting to run to the large Lakeshore Drive bridge for a change …
