Pete and Repeat were in a boat and Pete fell out….
…Who is left? Repeat!! Well that’s exactly what we did. We repeated last Friday’s Mog Mile Workout. Admittedly, this was a selfish tactic as YHC missed last week and was dying to give this one a try. It was all it was made out to be and then some. YHC was struggling on that last […]
The Mog Mile
There seemed to be a consensus among the six PAX gathered for #REDFriday that this workout to honor the 18 killed and 73 wounded in Mogadishu in 1993 was the hardest hero WOD to date. Judging by some of the Twitter banter afterward, that may be accurate. This would be a long one so we […]
A Frog and a Hero
Groundhog Day marked three years since former Navy SEAL and all-around good guy Chris Kyle was killed by a veteran he was trying to help. You see, Chris wasn’t just the deadliest sniper in American history. He wasn’t just interested in helping soldiers on the battlefield. He was all about helping people. Period. He embodies […]
Angie, they can’t say we never tried
So this initial plan was for the Red Friday workout to take on the dreaded benchmark WOD known as Angie. That said, due to the increased numbers, YHC had to modify. My thought was that the lack of space for pull-ups would inhibit the PAX from experiencing Angie the way it is intended. So I […]
2X Red Friday
YHC took the #RedFriday Q a month ago and laid the Meatloaf on the PAX and was going to pull that one out again to judge our progress in a month but the AOQ encouraged YHC to pick a Hero WOD as that’s what #RedFriday is all about. Honoring those men by doing their designated […]
The body will do what the mind tells it to…
The immortal words of Chris Kyle, as told by his widow, Taya, during his memorial service. So it is completely appropriate that it takes exactly that mindset to push through a WOD named in honor of one of America’s truly amazing heroes. Nine PAX posted – 6 at the Epicenter where one went LIFO and […]
What a start to 2016!
I honestly can’t think of a better way to start the year than by hitting one of the nastiest hero WODs on REDFriday. So that’s what I – and four of my closest friends – did. Two of my closest friends decided to check out #HillsAreAlive beforehand and logged about 4 miles of hill work […]
Enjoy the Christmas ‘Blake’
While our 2.0’s are on Christmas break, the PAX opted for Christmas “Blake.” YHC was disappointed that we wouldn’t get in our normal #REDFriday workout due to Christmas day falling on Friday. So YHC conspired to do it on Thursday. But there was a problem. YHC was on Q at the Epicenter and frequent co-conspirator […]
Time to get filthy!
Eight men took to the freezing temperatures of the #Gloom and got filthy with the #Filthy50. Ten movements. Fifty reps of each. And one of them is the much-maligned burpee. Let the work begin. Disclaimer The Thang Mosey to the new super secret secure location for the coupons and grab one. Mosey to center of […]
Hills, Heroes, and…wait, what?
Somehow, some way 14 PAX made their way for a #REDFriday beatdown at the hands of YHC and 10 of said idiots doubled down for #HillsAreAlive. Four PAX chewed up the hills early and three went out and back with two of those three jumping in at the tail end of the hills. If you […]
