Christian Trask

Six men got better this morning in perfect weather.  I was proud to lead today and think this Pool Party Wednesday AO is going to hit its stride over the next few months.  EH boys, EH… A year ago today, YHC lost a dear friend, Christian Trask.  Christian was intense, creative, adventurous, methodical, obsessively organized, […]

Carioca Hump Day

Posted on Leave a commentPosted in Backblasts

YHC was greeted by 5, wait 6 eager PAX on a fine TPC/Hump Day.  Typical Wahoo Q with running and a few exercises.  If it had been a little darker Duval (Seattle – correct?) might have snuck in unnoticed and saved the little burpee penalty.  I felt like I was about to fall over in […]

All About Me

Nine men got better today under great conditions at the Pool Party.  Everything was moving along swimmingly until Wrangler dropped into the pool and forced some burpees.  We welcomed an FNG (Skyline) who might give Osteen and Pyro a run for their money.  Joking aside- today was literally all about me.  If you read ‘Freed […]

Post Gobble Wobble

13 Pax including 2 FNGs enjoyed the 7AM post Turkey Day Poseidon workout.  Something borrowed- something gained was the theme of today’s fun and games.  Each phase of the workout was  borrowed from the genius of other Jax Pax workouts and mashed-up like the casserole feast of two days prior. Warmup – SSH, Michael Phelps, […]

Unbending Kindness

Posted on Leave a commentPosted in Backblasts

13 men joined at Badlands for twisting detox and a few sun salutations in the gloom.  YHC’s mood was enhanced by the jolly mumble chatter of the other Pax attending Broga and the Beatles/Stones/Zepplin/CCR tunes.  Word of the day is Kindness. “There are different ways to practice kindness. One way to be kind is to open your […]
