Wet n Wild

We welcomed FNG Grant, newly relocated from Birmingham. Many dedicated HIM arrived for my 2nd Q. Glad to help McCants. And as he peacefully remained in the fart sack we grittily said our Pledge to our Flag. Immediately our warm up run began…and so did the chatter…5 burpees with the fellas. Ran to warmup in this warm weather, SSHs, Prisioner um…Sumo Squats, one other and off we went. Still too dry as we continued our run I decided to slow us down for Paint the Lines, backwards mostly, in Cary’s Biggest Parking Lot. [Read More]

Capture the Duck (not of the Disco variety)

This was my third Q in the seven months posting with F3…my goal is to accelerate that number this year (see what I did there?). I have experienced a clear, positive change in my life since I began coming out and I am grateful. Grateful to Denali and Captain Jack for encouraging me to jump in and welcoming me and to the rest of the PAX, even those I don’t know well, for setting an example. [Read More]

nine for nine

Frontblast: It’s Monday afternoon, and I’ve been on this call for 77 minutes. I was a ‘critical component’ of this call, and finally just got called on. They ‘couldn’t hear me’, assessed that I had dropped off and rolled right along. I’m officially off the grid for the next 43 minutes, so guess what - YOU GET A PLANNED Q! Backblast: FNG Check / Disclaimer / Oh wow there’s more than 1 PAX outside of myself [Read More]

We Have Liftoff

AO Launch Day. YHC was a bit nervous about attendance because there had been zero Slack hype for this event during the lead up. Despite that fact, a lot of folks somehow showed up to be part of the emergence from stealth mode. YHC knew something major was afoot when Ma Bell decided to again venture into “the eastern regions of his former kingdom” for not only the ME but an EC run taboot.
