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 …
Huge Crowd at Okwata this beautiful gloomy morning. YHC had a basic plan to run a good amount with no additional leg workouts and spend time focusing on upper body. DISCLAIMER Mosey across Lakeshore Drive and head East. COP #1: WARM UP Imperial Walkers X 20 SSH X 20 Windmills …
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? …
For those that are still figuring out the F3 NOLA brotherhood and workout schedule – I strongly recommend you circle a couple of mid week days and make the commitment to yourself to give them a shot. I’m confident if you do your weekly outlook will change….physically for the better. …
5 PAX (4 on time, and 1 late arrival) gathered for a beatdown on the shores of Okwata – what better way to celebrate the Summer Solstice than celebrating the glorious views of the sun rising over the lake. Typical summer: 100 degrees, 100% humidity. Or at least, that’s what …
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! …
We had a beautiful Okwata morning with a thundercloud to the south providing special effects. But, the rain held off. Disclaimer and then the THANG: The PAX moseyed around the fountain and then circled up for the warm-up: SSH 25xIC, Abe Vigoda 15xIC, Sun Gods 10xIC each direction, Imperial Walkers …
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 …
