The weather this morning was such a welcome change…at least for YHC, presumably the heaviest member of the SSI PAX. And it was a great day to sharpen some iron. I’ve watched a few Netflix documentaries lately about these die-hard CrossFitters who train to compete in the CrossFit games and the ones I watched were [...]
Backblasts
[no] Leg Day
Man what a morning. 10 stud horse-looking bad-a$$ mofo's came out and absolutely crushed it this am. By the end of our workout there were ladies lurking in the trees about to pounce, so we hastily made our escape to maintain the sanctity of our marriages. God, thank you for swift feet and reliable vehicles. Today's [...]

Turning Rain into Pain
Five fellow pax weren't going to let a little rain keep them from a good morning beatdown. (As a side note, I would have probably slept in too, but it was my Q... just sayin'). Anyway, I had to scramble to think up something to do under the cover, but the rain wasn't bad, after [...]
That’s Not a Tempo Squat
The Dawn patrol was 9 strong today with 1 FNG (so that makes 10). Following a wonderful disclaimer and superior instructions to modify as necessary I ran full speed into the darkness and unknown. But a HIM follows Foundation #5 - Preparedness - getting ready for the expected while being ready for the unexpected. I [...]
