So a few weeks ago, January 7th if not mistaken 19 PAX showed up to workout in 4-6 inches of snow. We were all pretty impressed with ourselves for either our commitment or maybe stupidity for driving in those conditions, but either way we had a great time a...
It took a long time for YHC to lead my first Q. I made all types off excuses. After much EH’ing and passive aggressive moves by Donatello, I agreed to lead a Q. Since this event fell almost exactly six months after we first self led at the Iron amorse AO,

Twenty-nine PAX showed up in the eerie gloom this morning for a full-bodied gasser. Even the rain couldn’t hold back so many PAX from making themselves better; just as iron sharpens iron so everyone pushed each other be be better this morning. The Thang: Di...
21 men (including FNG Pauly) braved the ice-covered paths of Founders Park, eventually seeking refuge on Graveyard Hill, steady ground for which our legs (and arms) paid dearly. Note: Just in case anyone was wondering. I weighed a block when I got home and...
Conditions: 15 Degrees with decent snow falling steadily; ~ 6″ on the ground (and roads – local officials probably would NOT have considered posting to an F3 workout “necessary travel” but we showed up anyway). Oh the weather outside is delightful But Donat...

26 Pax including 1 FNG showed up to get better and celebrate the birthday of America’s first Naval Hero, Stephen Decatur. YHC hadn’t Q’d since his birthday so it was only fitting. Mr. Decatur left a young America too soon at the age of 41 as a result of a d...

An all time high 27 Pax showed up Tuesday to kick the new year off right. It just so happens 16 of them also showed up on Monday for a New Year’s Murph. The JC Pax put in some serious work on Monday. Many (including YHC) were sore and moving slowly

15 PAX rolled out of bed for a Rudy VQ. Jester brought a heatwave back from AL for a balmy 40 degree morning. Those lucky enough to arrive 5 minutes early had the pleasure of enduring a warm-up burpee train to get the day started off right. Questions were a...

17 Pax posted in temperatures that apparently some people consider cold (30o). Nothing like a burpee train to get warmed up right before the workout begins. Apparently that’s the best way to pry a PAX out of the comfort of their car. Unless you’re one in pa...
