2023 Palmetto 200: Blood, Sweat, & Beers

Overwhelmed by a collective runners’ high after finishing the 2022 Blue Ridge Relay in October, Drifter jumped into action to organize the next race. Although we assumed the notes he had taken and the operation he was planning would apply to the next BRR it quickly morphed into a more immediate and radical plan. Within …

BackBlast Three’s Company

Three’s Company

Hoser needed a Q- I answered the call (on Saturday Headgear……). Asked the crew to grab your rucks and your bags, along with a positive attitude we would conquer Doug Shaw. I had an awesome partner WOD set up, but, with only 3 studs making it out early I had to curb that debacle for …

“Chief Jason Byrd” – EOW February 18, 2019

ConditionsChilly – mid 40’s; misty and strong breeze Hoser is usually our default Q, always bringing a strong themed WOD, so when he asked for a volunteer, I gladly accepted.

All Treats No Tricks

After almost forgetting that I had snagged one of the last Qs of the month YHC tossed around the idea of doing stairs and laps for the whole hour today but eventually decided that maybe we should just put in some miles with some elevation work midway through. The plan was simple we would run …

2nd Place is a set of steak knives!

10-24-2022 AO: Elevation Monday/ Elevation Run Day The BRR is behind us but we’re not done running! With the addition of a Monday WaveRucker, it seems that EM will stay as a run workout…at least for most days.

Plank 2.0?

So after some interest and likes on the Slack channel YHC decided to keep this Monday option alive and hop on the Q sheet just to see who would show, keep myself accountable especially after running the half the day before, and to be honest because I had a feeling no one else was gonna …

Since BRR came and went it seems like all the interest in running and hills got left back in Asheville at the finish line. YHC and a couple of the other P200 team members havent given up on running though and have continued to get miles in on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and whenever else we …
