As three PAX rolled in right on time on a windy morning, mumblechatter was subdued by both the news of a major change in the life of one PAX (answered prayers!) and the major pain that YHC knew awaited them. Warmup: usuals plus some Moroccan Night Clubs to warm some …
Everything had come together. It was time. Late night event meant YHC didn’t have much time to plan for the next morning’s beatdown, and the newer guys were dropping like flies with excuses as to why they weren’t gonna make it. So, knowing that there would just be three to …
One by one, reports of Monday morning pax absences flooded the group line late Sunday night. Superflu, airport delays, late Mass, Enron early morning crypto trades? All seemed legitimate but each took a bite out of my already dwindling morale. YHC prepared for his darkest hour, a solo castaway beatdown …
Kilo warned us it might happen. “Bring a towel,” he said. “It might be wet out there,” he said. But, little did he or the rest of the PAX know the level of carnage that YHC had in store for this cold, windy, soggy morning. Of course, Cardinal may have …
Strong showing in the gloom of the stage on a cool bayou morning with 4 PAX for our first 5:30a beatdown. Goose supplied the coups, Kilo made seven traffic violations on his way in and Perc rounded out the group and told the Monday meetings they can wait. This beatdown …
Better Luck Next Time Calvin YHC woke in a blind panic at 5:15 realizing my car was in the shop and this car had all my F3 props (cones, kettlebell, hickory stick). Had to scratch a fully formed beatdown with said props and jump into the beatdown laboratory for some …
A solid nine PAX gathered at the Peltch despite having six regulars out due to sickness or travel. An FNG showed early and was almost spooked by what at first seemed only to be a pile of kids wrestling around a flag. It was only YHC’s three 2.0’s, and it …
YHC had some fresh ideas to keep the PAX on their toes this morning. The exercises included some references to Mardi Gras and some tasks that required everyone to be awake and alert (YHC hopping that some PAX were hung over from parades). PAX: Cardinal, Paradox, Goose, Pope, Coyote, Kilo, …
A beatdown on the Saturday of Mardi Gras weekend couldn’t leave the PAX unprepared for the festivities that awaited them. So out of charity for the brothers, YHC couldn’t let them down for his first Q. The indisputable best way to pass the time as you’re tailgating waiting for the …
Every group needs a prop guy ,I thought as a peered into my garage (“beatdown laboratory”) for Q inspiration. Heavy bar? old bands? Lonely kettlebell? Abandoned pool noodle? A plan formed for a “prop guy” workout at the Stage on a warm (return of the warmup sweat) bayou morning. The …
