The 4 Horseman at Okwata

Okwata just doesn’t get enough respect. Let me clarify that statement; Jingle Vader posts to Okwata quite often, so it gets lots of Respect, so it’s the other kind of respect it lacks. YHC read the informative email from our NOLA Nantan at the beginning of the week where, once …

Gelid Air at Okwata

YHC had so much fun with the Pax at the Foundry in the below freezing temperatures the day before that he just had to sign up and take the Q for the gelid wind conditions expected to be at the angry Okwata. Upon arrival to the Okwata AO with one …

Rolling Fog at Okwata

YHC received the bad news from Surge that he was ill, and would not be posting. This was surely a sign of that dreaded day, the day where YHC would be a Pax of one. SPOILER ALERT: He wasn’t! YHC woke up to an annoying rain, one that would obviously …

Okwata Wind Chill

The wind was howling at Okwata and made for a feels-like temperature in the thirtys.  At least, it wasn’t raining.  After the disclaimer, the Q promised one thing: we won’t stop moving.  The PAX moseyed to Canal and over the levee for some shelter to warm-up. Warm-Up: SSH (x25), Abe …

And Then There Were Three

One of YHC’s favorite songs: from Genesis’ 1978 album And Then There Were Three.  Sure enough, as 5:30 arrived on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain – 3 PAX gathered for a workout. But today’s theme was not Genesis.  No, not today (but maybe a future workout).  Today YHC had something else …
