The Beast has Awakened

Leave a comment

The Tomahawk was awaked and is not pleased with what it sees. This fabled AO is riddled with mystic and lore. Did it ever exist? Was there ever really an F3-Indian Land? Where did it go?

YHC is here to tell you Tomahawk was too much for this modern world. It was a place where men wore weight vests for the 5-mile pre-runs, then did kettlebell work outs for cool downs. I can assure you, the worst stories you have ever heard are watered down at best.

We are getting soft, and mushy. We talk too much. We lift things that weigh under 30LBS. We video stuff and talk about trendy topics.  It’s time for a rebirth by fire. Tomahawk is coming back to take teeth and kick names. There will be no fluff. Leave your Lululemon at home.

Launching 2-22-23 we will begin a Legends series where you can expect to see the royalty of AO pasted. YHC has an abundance of devilish delights for the coming months…so stay tuned.

There seems to be a vacancy at Catawba Ridge so we will plant our flag there and reclaim what is rightfully ours. You got what it takes?

Reverse Webb- Minnow Pond

Leave a comment

7 Pax (6 runners 1 walker) gathered at Vets park this morning. After a welcome reminder from Backdraft we said the pledge and got going.

The Thang:

Reverse Webb.

I had 10 cones split .05 apart along 160 , Clebourne, Main Street and then looped back past Vets park on 160.
Essentially we would run to cone 10, run back to Vets parking lot do 40 reps (split between LBC’s and Merkins) and repeat with Cone 9 (36 reps) Cone 8 (32 reps) etc…etc..

Cone 10 and back to COT 1 Mile 40 reps (20 merkins/20 Lbcs)
Cone 9 and back to COT .9 Mile 36 reps (18 merkins/18 Lbcs)
Cone 8 and back to COT .8 Mile 32 reps (16 merkins/16Lbcs)
Cone 7 and back to COT .7 Mile 28 reps (14 merkins/14 Lbcs)
Cone 6 and back to COT . 6 Miles 24 reps (12 merkins/12 Lbcs)
Cone 5 and back to COT . 5 Miles. 20reps (10 merkins/10 Lbcs)

(This is as far as anyone got)

Things I learned: My Under Armor App and my Apple App do not agree. I measured out the cones using my Under Armor app, but ran the course with my Apple watch. Apparently, I underestimated the mileage on the cones and as a result we all got at least 4 miles in. Two of us got 5 in.

Always honored to lead and was thankful for the men that showed up this morning.

Take care…until next time!

4 before D2DB10K

Leave a comment

Couldn’t make the D2DB10k time slot, so we ran it early. Fish dropped us off at the starting point and headed back to meet us at the finish after some rehab work on his calf.

Bandlands is fast and brought coffee.

Maximus stuck with YHC and I ran faster for it.

Esso proved the master of his back.

Run home

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Long Duck is The Fort’s Whetstone Q. Don’t be confused by the lexicon…Whetstone=Mentorship. it’s that simple.

Stairs are fun

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We got our getty up on right out of the gate with a mosey around the big church parking lot and back to COT. SSH we’re up next, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, and finished up with honeymooners and down dogs.
THE THANG: took off from COT over to the church down the street where we paired up for some Dora. Partner one ran around the church but then up and down the big set of steps before tagging partner 2.

Dora 1 was: 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 shoulder taps.

Moved to spot #2 which was the big parking lot across from the stairs that have all the steps and about 8 sets you can snake. We changed up Dora partners for Dora #2.

Dora 2 was: 100 lunges, 200 American hammers, 300 calf raises.

Changed to last set of partners where we made our way back to COT. On the way back we found the small set of stairs at the church by the ramp and snaked those with our partners, then over to Church of God big set of steps where we snaked all those sets of steps with our partners. Then back to COT.

MARY: Around the circle for Mary call outs. Pretty sure this was Hemingway’s first time calling cadence and he’s potentially got a career here. Unlike his old man, he called something other than gas pumpers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2Dbar big pickups
COT: Prayers for Slash and his family

Stupid face cards!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey around parking lot, SSH, windmills, squats, merkins, up and down dogs, back and hamstring stretches
THE THANG: as we surrounded 4 KBs and 3 sandbags, we looked at the deck of cards along with the wienke that had all the exercises. Face cards are Jack 11, Queen 12, etc. “Breaks” were after 6-8 cards…I’ll explain later. Ruck was worn for most exercises.
• Hearts 2-7 chest press and swings; 8-Ace curls
• Spades 2-7 lunges (double count); 8-Ace merkins
• Diamonds 2-7 man makers; 8-Ace squats
• Clubs 2-7 clean and press; 8-Ace flutter with press
• joker – carry all the from the front of the school down to the softball field…maybe 200 yards there and back
• after 6-8 cards we took a break which consisted of a shuffle with ruck, gear carry swapping after 200 yards, mosey slick
• after we got back from breaks or jokers, we’d rotate positions so we had different gear in front of us given the different items in our arsenal.
MARY: none today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skate or die has JOC tomorrow for a ruck workout, dam to dam fundraising
COT: praying for illnesses
