Calling all Northshore PAX. Prepare yourselves for the Northshore H8. Modeled after the Southshore H8 (but sure to be .01% better and more fun), the Northshore H8 will test your mettle this Saturday, August 4th, at 0630 on the Mandeville Lakefront. You can expect a benchmark workout that will gauge …
It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done. -Nelson Mandella It was this sentiment that was permeating the air like vapors of a scent distinctly from times gone by, whilst I was pondering the unlimited possibilities for Saturday at the Lakefront. It had YHC reminiscing about slightly less than a year …
History tells us that Native Americans referred to what we now call Lake Pontchartrain as Okwata, which means “wide water”. Since history is known to be subjective, YHC is calling upon the dialect from a local tribe of leaders that refers to Okwata as a “cure all”. Not feeling well? …
“Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be. Don’t count on motivation. Count on discipline.” – Jocko Willink, Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual “The test is not a complex one: when the alarm goes off, do you get up out …
After playing touch football (who remembers those kids riding by, windows down, shouting at us??) on Superbowl Saturday (#Turbo Tax) and half court basketball at the Milestone Marsh during March Madness (#THE Manny), YHC began planning a soccer themed beatdown to coincide with the start of the World Cup.

YHC was going to fall short by a tenth of a point in the ISI challenge for the month of May. But yesterday YHC saw an opportunity to take the lead, but was careful not to taunt Shooter from the Northshore and chance getting crushed! Those NS Pax are relentless! …
With the winds died down and the hail unscathingly passing us by, it seemed like a good morning to bring out the Dice of Doom for and official hard opening. 12 PAX made sufficient numbers for a team battle of epic proportions. WARM UP each x20 IC: Toe Touches Windmills …
YHC arrived at Okwata one year wiser and three flags heavy. The mugginess seems to be coming back, but Okwata delivered us a nice breeze this morning to keep it at bay. With the shovel flags planted, the clock turned 0530, which means it’s time for the disclaimer. Once that’s …
Well, as they say… that happened. The FBI physical fitness test pre-thang Q’d by Grundy started promptly at 0545 as promised, but it would require a prodding Bushwacker to keep this thing on schedule. You see, until this morning, none of us (least of all Grundy) realized just how patriotic …
With the Northshore convergence taking place, YHC wasn’t sure how many Pax would post to the Mothership. Expecting a large presence on the NS, YHC was surprised to find 25 Pax gathered around the 4 shovel flags. YHC was very happy to see 3 FNG’s post, keep up the EH’ing! …
