When I arrived I found Snowball and Seuss already warming up. They thought I was late, and I thought they were just keeping warm! However, turns out they were early as they forgot that El Nantan had changed the time to 5:30. We warmed up with some side straddle hops, and little baby arm circles [...]

On a cool January morning, a perfect low 60's temp for a beatdown, 7 of us showed up in the gloom at the new 530 am start time. YHC rolled in at 515 to catch anyone who may have missed the memo and met Heehaw headed out for a quick pre-beatdown warmup ruck out of [...]
On a cool, overcast Saturday, 9 men came out for what was promised to as a ‘challenging’ beatdown.

A damp start to the week at Jailbreak where four brothers met for a robust start to the day, punching the sad clown in his big red nose. This is how it went down - The Warm Up Mosey to the end of the pier 15 SSH IC 15 LBAC forward IC 15 LBAC backwards [...]

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 [...]

An autumn-like 72 degrees yielded mumblechatter about enjoying the first day of 'Fall' in the gloom on this Thursday gathering. YHC opened with the disclaimer and a quick (albeit rusty) rundown of the 5 core principles of the F3 Workouts (Free of Charge, Open to all men, Outside (rain or shine), Led by the men [...]
