The air was thick with anticipation. Hushed tones were heard from the shadows. Doubts from the PAX were palpable - or it was a Saturday morning at the best AO in F3. Best AO in the Country Christmas Revival 2019 was greeted with a fiery sky and mild temps. All conditions were a go. [...]

Santa Clause is Coming to Town
7 PAX started the week by jumping out of the fartsack and taking the DRP. The wind was whipping off the water pretty good so the Q decided to seek some shelter in the "Living Room". Good choice except DodgeBall kept jumping up and down on his favorite drain. We did a solid warm-up, arms, [...]
ROCK in the SSI
With D2 under the weather, Loveseat stepped up to Q on the spot and I offered to tag in along the way. Nine of us got after it in the cool November air with the sun rising in the distance: The Thang Mosey out onto the pier COP Abe Vigodas x 10 Weed pickers x [...]
Battle Buddies
Conditions: Cool, Breezy, and a freaking awesome morning! Full moon, and the boat is still tipped over on it's side. Disclaimer: NO COP this morning, we went straight into tha thang! Thang: Mosey to the Flag pole where the PAX were instructed to take note of the route we are on... Up the steps, turn [...]
Gator Chomp
Since I shot my mouth off at Monday’s beatdown - I now had Tuesday’s Q. Good thing too because I was sore from Monday and needed to take it easy on Tuesday and Ironman was the perfect opportunity to do so. Carry around a GoRuck back back with nothing in it except helium balloons, this [...]
If You Can’t Do It, Don’t ….
When I went to bed last night there was nothing on the #calendar channel on Slack for this week's workouts or who was the Q for Jailbreak. I checked it again while taking care of the morning business at 5:00 AM. On my drive to the pier for Jailbreak I started dreaming up some ideas [...]
Dora 1,2,3,1000
As I drove to the AO this morning with a steady rain hitting my windshield, I told myself that if it was only me and one other pax then I’d suggest some solid second F over some hashbrowns at the Waffle House in lieu of a workout. Surely the rain would deter most of the [...]

More Burpees?
This is the 3rd installment of the IRONPAX challenge. The workout was again grueling, but we somehow made time for some mumble chatter. Hee Haw lead the pax in some SSH and Toy Soliders while YHC laid the course. Bundy was DR, so we had a varied assortment of coupons; from Johnson rocks to weight [...]
