Reconning Restrepo

YHC had the Q on Memorial Day weekend, which means the pax knew they would be in for a military-themed workout. While standing at the pull-up bars at Fury one morning, I noted how much it resembled looking out across the Korengal Valley from FB Restrepo in Afghanistan. At Fury, you can look out across the large pond at the dog park and, in the morning time, it is quite a beautiful sight. So, YHC reached into his bag of goodies and pulled out the Restrepo WOD.

  • Once we made it to the hill – which is now known as Restrepo Hill – the mumblechatter began in earnest.
  • YHC admonished the pax not to shortcut any movements today. Full range of motion, proper form and technique on every rep!
  • Someone asked who was Qing the dads workout which would immediately follow the Fury workout. Someone said, “Jugz.” The reply was, “Oh, sh!t!” So UncleBuck said, “I told my 13-year-old 2.0 that Jugz was Qing the workout and I’m pretty sure she said the same thing under her breath.” #Respect
  • YHC noted there were some pax who dodged his Qs intentionally. They also dodge the rain. (Not you, Mr. Bean! You’re always down for a hundred burpee starter!) #CmonMan
  • It was cool having Strawberry down from Area51 in Charlotte. He is a fellow 311 fan, so YHC definitely enjoys his company!
  • #TClaps to DixieChick and Senator for taking on their first workout at Fury! #ColdBloodedKillers
  • YHC took some time to offer what Alpo termed a Devo, though it was actually a personal story about 2/24/09 when a man traded his life for YHC’s. It’s a moving story and has caused many sleepless nights. But I will never forget Scott Stream. Aye, brother. Fair winds and following seas.
  • Always a pleasure leading this group of men!
