TBL has been fun this year. It’s always been fun, but the latest flavor iteration has become something I look forward to each week. Dark, cold, and early, we convene for EC to “meet ourselves,” euphemistically referring to kicking our own asses with sandbags. Then it’s a business-as-usual main event. And then you’ve earned some […]
A good crowd on a chilly morning. The PAX prepared for a top-down workout which YHC had piloted a few weeks ago at Vortex, but maybe got right this time around. Or maybe we’ll need to do it again. Anyway, events began with a reasonably-traditional Warm Up: SSH Good Mornings Windmills Imperial Walkers Slow Wide […]
A quick joint BB from Saturday’s festivities at TBL. Potter and Houdini, Malware’s and YHC’s 2.0s, respectively, put their name on the Romper Room Q sheet for this Saturday a while back. YHC noticed last week the TBL Q sheet was open, so grabbed it and got Malware to co-Q. A Dees-Foreman takeover! At TBL, […]
Whew, it was a chilly one this morning! The first post for YHC in the heavy frost this season. At 0700, three brave souls were ready to take on the day and the cold. Between 0700 and 0703, three more braved the gloom for a total of 6. Six worked out perfect for the workout. […]
Can you smell it in the air? It’s finally here. At least one football game every weekend between now and February. Time to welcome CFB season #150 in style!So YHC thought it best to get everyone in tip-top shape for the upcoming season. Warm-up: SSH × 25 WMH × […]
With some #roadbiking, travel, and stepping out to #the-battering-ram, YHC has not been at #TBL for a while. It was good to be back at this terrific AO, glistening with a light coat of overnight rain.

When Big Kat had to tap out last night because he had mistakenly signed up to Q twice in one morning, I was happy to step in. I turned 50 last week while on a Caribbean cruise and had planned to make Devil’s Ridge this past Monday my first Respect-laden Q, but a nasty case […]

Anticipating a big crowd, Newt put the call out for a co-Q for the special Father’s Day workout where Ms and 2.0s are invited. YHC volunteered, not realizing there are some expectations with this one. It’s a beloved F3 tradition, so the pressure was on to live up to past workouts. Newt and I met […]
YHC was 2 mins late as Checkmate took some extra care and time tying his sneakers as we headed out the door. But, we made up for quantity with quality. Warm-Up:SSH x 25 ICIW x 20 ICLBAC X 10 ICOverhead Clap x 10 ICBurpees OYO x 10 ME:Concept recycled from Harbaugh who sprung this at […]
