The night was hot and humid and dark. By 8:45, lots of PAX and a few coolers started rolling in (thanks Brown Bag!). Uptowners, Mid-city denizens, a clown car from the Northshore and a lone rep from Destrehan. All gathered to see who would hoist the coveted Gnarly Nutria trophy for …
After what only be described as a Routine Victory, three men met the Gloom in pursuit of self improvement in an aquatic environment. Posting less than 8 hours after an intense competition of brawn and masculinity takes a certain level of testicular fortitude that few men are fortunate enough to maintain. Tclaps to our counterparts …
The PAX at the Scramble journeyed another new course on this Gloom from the Mandeville city hall. As we started our journey the YHC noticed a late arrival pulling in, to no surprise Sea Bass who is quite the regular at The Scramble exited the vehicle headlamp in the on …

Conditions: Temp – 79, Humidity – 90%, Wind – 1 mph from the SSW. 7 men posted for the 100th running of the 610 Stomp. (I realize the title says #99, that’s because SFx made us run #18 twice). Today was a shout out to the most important day in …
As I reluctantly rolled out of the fartsack dreading the Louisiana humidity, this memory came to mind. Close to a decade ago, I did a research paper on Fitness and Nutrition and shadowed and exercised with a gymnast. He told me I needed to stay three dimensional and maintain Discipline, Determination, …
8 PAX converged on the Mandeville Trailhead to look back on what it was once like to be 21 again.. Aside from the all nighters, swollen mulligans and the “what did I do memory of the night before” your YHC decided it was worth creating a memory of fatigue, sweat …
