Into the Brier Patch

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” Michael Jordan YHC arrived early enough to plant the shovel flag and to set up some cones for an Uptowner beatdown. It’s 0530, the disclaimer is given, so nothing holding us back now. Warmup SSH …

The Classic Levee?

YHC needed a change of pace from the loop, the lights and the leg-ups next to a drifter so we spent the morning at the levee. Warm- up on the way: SSH x20, MC x20, Lunge-Throughs x10 At the Levee: 5 burpees  then run up levee & back –  repeat …

Ultimate Frisbee #2

YHC wanted to do another round of Ultimate Frisbee, but the only problem is that YHC doesn’t have a frisbee… but you can always count on the Pax to pull you through.  Thirteen Pax at the start, Sixteen Pax at the end…Tclaps to Two Yutes for the Frisbee; and Tclaps …

A Rough Day

Plunging…

Yep, another morning at the pool.  Like Dori said, “Just keep swimming…” And for a special treat:  Yes, JV did have his speedo on under that comfy terrycloth rob.  Oh Joy!!!  Naturally, we were all jealous. The Thing:  Swim 100m for a warmup, then try to swim continuously shorter breaks.  …

Pikes Peak Downpainment

After driving for 2 days with my family from New Orleans to Colorado Springs, I was stiff as a board and feeling discouraged that I couldn’t add any workouts to my New Year’s Resolution.  I was lamenting the fact that I would be putting a big goose egg this week …

ISO Suck

Taking some advice from the Northshore’s Turbo regarding this months ISI Challenge, YHC sent out a mission today for 5 sets of 1 minute Al Gore and 1 minute Mission Impossible.  When Amnesty texted me this morning that the hammy was going to keep him from his scheduled Q, I …
