It’s that time of year again, and BBA Sexual Chocolate has been released! Normally this is a time of celebration for YHC, and the PAX are invited to enjoy the delicious, syrupy, potent beverage after a beatdown… but to much horror and dismay, YHC found this years release to be a huge disappointment. YHC to foothills with Coworkers on Friday, only to find the Beverage to lack both bourbon AND chocolate flavor! It was over carbonated, bitter, and not the beer YHC has come to love over the past 10 years. Usually it changes every year, but not THIS much. 

Getting back on track here… just like the beer, the Sexual Chocolate Beatdown also changes a little every year, but this year, the goal was to NOT disappoint the PAX! It was mostly a surprise announcement to the PAX morning of, and as soon as YHC said what it would be, those who had attended one before grumbled with excitement and/or horror.

It went a little something like this…

CoT

  • Christmas Party 12/13 @ 1800 atBar Nola
  • Bulk 10 year shirt order open now, contact YHC. You have until tomorrow night at 2100 to get your order in. Have 19 guys and 28 shirts on the order so far!
  • YHC took us out, giving thanks for the morning, thanks for the group, and thanks for the continued prayers for YHC wife’s recovery post surgery.

 

NMM

  • TClaps to Bullwinkle, Cruiser, Swifty, and Root Canal for joining YHC for a SuperMax Murph before YHCs Q.
  • Great to have Woolie Booger come out and join us for his SECOND post since joining the day before at Urban Assault! He not only hung in there, he pushed the pace at times, and didn’t back down from the nut punch 4-pack at the end either.
  • Also great to have U-turn come out to Alcatraz, for what might have been his first non-convergence post at The ROCC. He worried YHC at one point when he modified WWIIs for a PT back stretch exercise; but fear not! He was just being smart while also strengthening his core. #TClaps
  • Yukon Cornelious made his first post to the ROCC as well (for which he was rewarded an Alcatraz sticker that he immediately matched to the back of Palin’s shirt). Our War Baby seems to be quite the runner, but also managed to fit in some rock exercises as well.
  • Palin did a fine job of balancing dad work, with THE work getting strong. Some necessary modifications were made by Palin (like no running for Yukon on the gravel), but hopefully YHC did a decent job keeping them included along the way.
  • Popeye is a new regular at Alcatraz, and is looking strong! All the PAX were cheering him on for the last set of pull-ups and the man knocked them out to thunderous applause! 
  • Ziggy was looking good in a nice, blue F3 Quarter Zip! He hung with the PAX, hung with Palin and Yukon, and hung from the Pull-up bars getting it done!
  • Feel free to yell “Hurry Up, Grandpa!” to Dr. Toot next time you see him. Our resident war daddy is expecting his first child (a boy) in June. The name “Squeaker” has already been suggested. Congrats to Dr. Toot, who will surely make the best Grandfather ever.
  • Subfloor called YHC out on the size of his Rock… and of course YHC had to go upgrade because of it. Needless to say, YHC overcompensated because of it! But this allowed Palin and Swifty to get some big rock reps in along the way. Better to fail and need a break, than fly through them with ease I always say! Thanks for the call out, Subfloor! YHC is stronger for it, and was definitely feeling it today…
  • Three recent Beast Finishers doubled down today! Swifty, Bullwinkle, and Cruiser! TClaps to these three guys for running 13 miles and tackling 30 obstacles down in South Carolina! 
  • Our first beast, Bullwinkle, is dealing with an unrelated back injury and still managed to get a ton of work in! He left us around 0750 to head to the Meineke, but did report in that he felt the Walking Lunge Curls and Squatty Potty Thrusters this morning. So did YHC!
  • The next beast, Swifty, has continued to push the pace since first joining us earlier this year. He crushed the murph, and then gave YHC a goal to chase after during the bootcamp. I’m beating Swifty, YHC loudly declared after the third round of merkins during the ABV opener. 
  • Our third beast, Cruiser, has come a lonnng way since he first started training for the Beast! Couldn’t even get through a quarter of the pull-ups, and look at him now!? Cruiser insisted on finishing reps today, so YHC was able to join him for his mile, and we talked about how the team he was originally going to run with this year, has signed up for a Florida beast next year. So Cruiser will now go for a trifecta in 2024. ISI

Always a pleasure to post with such fine, men! Warden, out!
