Do you trust YHC? True, he is sweaty, in a $3 tank top from Eagles at Oak Island, talking about kitty kilometers. Sure, maybe he needs a haircut and is lacking is now famous hair gel. But still, has YHC ever led you wrong? And so, when he says “you don’t need your gloves,” do you trust him? Well, the only way to find out is to sweat, squat, partner carry, and Dora through 45 minutes to find out.

When: Oct 13th, 2017 QIC: Earhart The PAX: Wilbur, Bocephus, BOGO, Parker, Crimson, Freebird, Sooey, Shut-In, Malpractice, Monkey Nut, Hot Spot, GTL, Snots, Water Wings, Imp, Sooner, Spitvalve (Raleigh), YHC Earhart Can’t believe it has been a year since Shut-In and I launched Dante’s Peak. It took me a while to get the site going as it was the first site where we doubled up with Danger Zone. The PAX were resistant to adding another site, dividing Carpex on the same day, but I am glad we did.

Alright, listen up. Imabout tired of this early August weather IN OCTOBER. Be Fall already! Yes, I feel better now. Anyway, a great crowd of men assembled at the Mellinial Memorial Skate Park in the unseasonably warm and humid morning to get better. My guess is they did. Extra Credit: First person to tie a recent event to the title of this post wins a free cup of cheap coffee. [Read More]

Asystole led dragged YHC through a couple EC loops around the ToC buildings, which included pain stations for various merkins, pull-ups on a tree, step ups, box jumps, ab work, and forward/backward bear crawls and crab walks. About 20 minutes in I started to wonder if I would be able to complete my own main event workout. In the meantime, 4 more PAX showed up on this steamy mid-October afternoon. Riptide informed us that today was the latest day of the year it had ever hit 90 degrees. [Read More]

19 gathered in the soupy gloom. 1 FNG, quick disclaimer followed by practice mozy lap.

8 men gathered in the gloom of Salem Park this morning with one thing on their mind: “please, Lord, just not a Murph.” Fear not, soldiers. With half the Pax fresh off the CSAUP, YHC had nothing but love, respect, and the IR on his mind. Indeed, YHC’s co-site Q finds himself on the IR (more on that in a moment). Alas, YHC “McCant” let any Pax off easy, and so into the gloom we set. [Read More]

14 PAX gathered in the swampy pit of Marla Dorrel Park this July October morning. With the temp at 75 and the humidity at 132%, everyone worked up a good sweat walking from their cars to the shovel flag. Most were relatively early this morning, YHC assumed that spirits were high with anticipation. 5:45, time to crush the spirits. Warm-up: Jog around the parking lot, weaving the Target balls and then across the street to the shopping center parking lot. [Read More]

Yep, the long 49 year is over and I’m bludgeoning my way into Respect territory (none collected, but hope to earn some over time!) 16 PAX assembled in the unfathomably humid but not so gloom…since TOC thoughtfully lit the baseball field for YHC’s birthday! (Proper) Warm-Up Lap around the parking lot, 50 SSH, 10 Windmill, 10 Sir Fazio Arm Circles F/R, 15 Mountain Climbers Thang 1 - Partners - Dora 123 - Merkins/LBC/Squats alternating partners w laps around the parking lot [Read More]

12 warriors entered the gloomiest of all mornings - 75 degrees, a million percent humidity, and no light. With 5 minutes til launch time, there was plenty of time to catch up on the Odyssey goings on. Trying to talk to everyone with all those headlamps glaring at you is not easy. At 0545 we got going. Warm-Up Circle up for 20 x SSH, then follow me out of the park where there is actually light, up Davis and across to the Davis Drive Middle parking lot to continue the warm-up with Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Plank Jacks, Mountain Climbers and, of course, Merkins.
