It was a Fenceline Tuesday morning. That means pouring rain and unpleasant temperatures. However, 4 pax joined YHC for this adventure and warning had been given the night before by several of the pax in attendance: "Keep us dry". Banded together we had no worries, the big Guy in the sky parted the rain clouds and
Gladiator – What is your name?! – Fenceline
Rooster, the Spaniard Gladiator, made a return appearance to the Coliseum at Irving Park for an epic showdown. Along side him, was a worthy comrade returning from the great state of Washington, Twinkie + 18 pax for a total of 20. As YHC was setting up, and taking longer than the allotted time he afford
The Rolling Bones, German style…#Fenceline
9 old jolly pax rolled out for the 1st of 2 #Fenceline anniversary celebrations. As YHC prepares the site for a beatdown, he loves seeing an empty parking lot going in and a full parking lot upon planting the shovel flag. Only this week, he didn't recognize some cars and faces. Always a pleasant surprise,
A deep, deep burn…1001, 1002 – Fenceline
Pax gathered on a chilly? Tuesday morning. 30ish degrees led some Fenceline veterans to reminisce about the mid teen temps or 33º degree rainy Tuesdays that made this AO what it is today. "Cold? this is summer winding down boys" - Anonymous This kind of chatter lightened the mood for the 15 present pax, and
Big League Bands – Fenceline
We knew it was coming....winter temps and oh yeah, election day. Cold and rainy are the conditions in which this AO was founded. Today, we put in for a special order, hold the rain. Our request was honored and a dozen pax surrounded the shovel flag ready to get it on. We had a new
Oil Check – Fenceline
A dozen (12) pax huddled around the flag on a exemplary Tuesday morning. Not too hot, not too cold, fog was in check and YHC was ready to get after it. The intro was short and sweet - "know why we're here?...know the disclaimer, aye? nay? #leggo. This unexpected shortness may have scared some of
Bang, Bang – Shots Fired – #Fenceliners on Patrol
A perfect 10 pax posted. Posted they did, and YHC happened to notice the variations of preparedness the pax made. J-Love ran from NIP (mistake) to make sure he was properly warmed-up. Perhaps he knew YHC has had enough running the past couple weeks and intended to take it easy on the lower extremities. Bird's
Post for Toast – #Fenceline
14 vets decided to make Tuesday a better day. They did so in a quiet, vigorous fashion - read: "some of our normal pax full of mumble chatter were not present". The chatter that was mildly overheard was highly intellectual and historical - YHC felt left out. It's okay, we were there to exercise and
What Yeezy said…#BSF #Search #Fenceline
Mid 40's temperatures sneaked up on us this fall...after that nasty hurricane dumped it's load, it left us with some frigid temps and saturated grounds. YHC pre-blasted that PAX in #Search of a beatdown should post to #Fenceline. Decoding the tweet, of course we meet for 3rd F at the Search office, but thought it
The Gloom before The Fog – Fenceline
It was what we have all been waiting for, maybe #Fenceliners above all others. A clear, 60º dark morning in which to exercise our bodies and fellowship with our brothers. As YHC finished setting up the course, and to plant the shovel flag, he noticed an encouraging number of Pax circling up ready to get
