Winter is here. But that didn’t stop 4 hardy PAX from appearing on the angry shores of Okwata, where the winds were howling. YHC’s car said 37 degrees. Alas, YHC’s car does not have a wind-chill measurement; perhaps that is for the best. Somethings are best left unknown. 5:30 arrives, …
Rain pelted the gloom as five wise men – the RESPECT PAX – formed around the flag. They knew a beatdown in the rain was to be savored and not avoided. They knew as long as the mind was moving and counting, the rain did not matter. First, DISCLAIMER. Now …
What we can learn from History: The 1st H8 – 8/4/16 – 6 Pax – Amnesty – Cowbell – JV -Kim-Chi, Surge and Hawg No official finishers as it was an AMRAP for only 25 min in the middle of a Hawg style beat down #2 Can the H8 be …
Okwata was angry, and it rose up beyond its borders to claim the space where F3 normally gathered. YHC indicated the Shovel Flag would be relocated to the corner of Canal and Lakeshore Drive, which brought on much mumblechatter through the Group Me feed. With a map supplied from Heisenberg, …

7 seasoned PAX arrived in the gloom to welcome the day at the best AO in town. The humidity remains brutal – but YHC continues to hold out hope for the elusive Cold Front which is always allegedly right around the corner. But not today. Today is humidity and sweat. …
YHC arrived at Okwata a few minutes early to get a little time put in for the monthly ISI challenge, which has me looking at a jump rope in a whole new way. The pax started to trickle in at about 0525, so YHC set the jump rope aside and …
At last!!! Cooler weather! It may not last long, but Thursday AM offered a glorious respite from the usual August heat and humidity. What more could one ask for – the chance to start the day with the Okwata levee, watching the sunrise over the lake, with an actually refreshing …
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” -Kelly Clarkson Lots of buzz going around lately about the semi-annual H8 coming up in October. It’s always a tough workout as well as a good test of progress for the PAX. It’s also a love-hate thing for YHC since it has put …
YHC unexpectedly took the Okwata Q this week for two reasons. First was to help a brother out, and the second was because Okwata is a Rockin’ AO! With all the recent talk of the H8 lately, YHC knew we needed to do something to begin training for it. There’s …
