Winter is drawing to a close in six more weeks, thank you punxsutawney phil, and Storm Trooper came ready with winter gear…gloves and headlamp. Disappointment rang out when YHC announced headlamps were not necessary for the beatdown. As the PAX strolled to the starting spot, questions rang out were you doing Side Straddle Hops? Yes, IContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #FogPreRuck Abacus Q – “Do I need a headlamp””

BackBlast #BlackOps #theHue #Torcher

YHC anxiously checked SLACK for fartsacks and other excuses. The flu was causing PAX to cancel left and right. YHC was worried it may be a PAX of 1.

BackBlast #theFOG #thePoshlands #NoRunningAllowed

YHC arrived early for the pre-beatdown #Ruck. Like a magician, Glauc appeared out of the darkness and mumbled something about Peter Peckers or Packers or something. YHC just nodded in agreement; it was early. While awaiting the Ruck Q, Kilo, Glauc demonstrated the Peter Pecker exercise. YHC modest eyes burst from his head in fearContinueContinue reading “BackBlast #theFOG #thePoshlands #NoRunningAllowed”

Preblast @Poshland Saturday 11/18 #DefyingGravity #theFog #GETBETTER

Gravity – the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth The amount of gravity affecting a #HIM depends on two things: the masses of the objects being attracted and the distance between the objects. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a #HIM. The gravitational force between objects increases as the masses of the #HIM increase. That’s theContinueContinue reading “Preblast @Poshland Saturday 11/18 #DefyingGravity #theFog #GETBETTER”
