After many a night of Spartan obstacle nightmares and lost sleep due to the anxiety of climbing up a darn rope, YHC decided (albeit late in the process) to help himself and everyone with the obstacles in their life. Warm Up PAX was requested to YELL “Halt” at the end of each warm up exercise […]
This week was an eye opening one for YHC and other brothers who are doing the Spartan Race. We train hard but we don’t spend enough time in recovery. Many PAX are nursing shoulder, back and hamstring injuries including YHC. Sometimes YHC needs to throw the pride and expectations out the window to realize what […]
Kessel Run Six PAX awoke after a cold front moved in for a chilly Monday morning mosey. As my VQ I wanted to log some miles for Kessel and what better way than to get better fighting a 15mph wind and elevation! The Klydes (Snuffy, Dr Okie, Flounder) pushed through the wind for tour of […]
Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program. 3 days into a planned 6 day moon mission, an oxygen tank exploded, prompting Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks in the movie) to utter the famous words, “Houston, we have a problem” … Today marks the 48 th year after their safe, […]
After a quickly moving storm blew through yesterday the morning air was crisp with a slightly noticeable breeze. Your Q in charge got to the AO early to determine if our construction site would be suitable for the planned beatdown. Yes, indeed it would be a beautiful morning for what Osteen would refer to as […]
A lucky 13 PAX came out of the gloom and inhabited Memorial Park for a memorable, dare we say beatific beatdown on a warm early AM. Just as life runs in circles, so did the PAX circle and swirl (and sweat) around the ever-handy and -inspiring F3Jax Shovel Flag, defiantly planted in the center of […]
YHC knew he had an upcoming Q, but had not thought about what exactly he was going to have the PAX do on this fateful gloom. Then at Anthill, Xenu mentions that YHC tends to add some sort of lesson to his Q’s, which reminded him hearing about Sunday being the anniversary of when Hank […]
YHC arrived in the Badlands, set the browser to accept all cookies and 14 PAX rolled in to see just how the cookies would crumble. Explanation… YHC is usually precise in his planning and preparation, however, today YHC took a different approach to the beatdown. YHC asks himself, why not let fate guide us??? Was […]
The Return of the Shovel Flag It was a bright sunny day when I was rescued by Snuffy from F3 Jacksonville, he kindly took me back to his house to help me recover from my horrendous ordeal of being transported to a place that I did not know and then stored with many odd things […]
Conditions:55° and windy which is surprisingly cold for April in Florida. YHC rarely goes into anything without proper planning, however, this little diddy did not come to life until about 8pm the following evening when our brother Pyro posted the following Spartan Bucket Brigade Training video. YHC promptly texted Full Monty to see if Monday’s […]
