And We Ran

YHC felt a little Gumpy this morning, so I took advantage of the opportunity at Carpex’s finest High-Tempo bootcamp to get our run on. Warm-up: Good Mornings in honor of the missing Nature Boy SSH The Thang: One line of 9 for an Indian Run towards Mo-Ville Parkway One Stop for a set of WW2’s Back to Indian Run Continue on to corner, turning right on Mo-Ville Parkway after a set of merkins, then WW2’s Back to Indian Run Run towards the sun, stopping for a quick set of LBC’s, merkins, and WW2’s Back to Indian Run We found ourselves a dam with very tall grass, and an opportunity to do control freak incline partner sit-ups, truly a fun time.

May the Carpex 4th be with you!

YHC is not known for Theme workouts, and to be fair, this is the only themed workout I’ve ever done, and could very possibly be the only. I’m just not very creative. I saw the Q spot open and grabbed it….LONG before realizing it was on May the 4th…..AKA Star Wars day. So, I had to come up with something. I even created a playlist, then left my BT speaker at home.

The Jim Parsons Project

YHC rolled into the grounds of Flying Circus, arguably the finest AO in west Cary on a Thursday, to see a couple of HIMs already on the grounds. A few pull-ups are done at the baseball field, and eventually there’s a solid dozen ready for a good sweat-fest. Disclaimer is disclaimed, Allegiance is pledged, watches are started, and we’re off. Warm Up Mosey around the parking lot and circle up for Good Mornings, Steve Earles, Moroccan Night Clubs, Seal Claps, and Control Freak Merkins. [Read More]

In a Spring Daze

What is the meaning of all of this traffic coming into Bond Park at 0615? I would love to say the 50 cars YHC observed roll in in about about a 10 minute span where pax upon pax coming to receive the highly anticipated beat-down that was near to launch hosted by yours truly. But alas they were not. While the pax turnout of 25 was nothing to sneeze at, this was not going to be a typical quiet morning with the 310 acres of Bond Park to ourselves. [Read More]

Brother Bri and the letter B

When scrolling through the Exicon in search for new ideas that have not (to YHC’s knowledge) been executed in/around Carpex and you don’t even get past the letter B… you know it’s going to be a good day. _NMS: YHC was ready for EC this morning, but the old bowels had another idea in mind. EC was skipped for a trip to Harris Teeter and back._ 22 Bros meet up at the Field of Dreams. [Read More]

SPEAK UP, Q!

18 HIMs met this morning at the gloomiest AO in Cary, except that clear sky and nearly full moon made it relatively bright. I was dismayed to learn that several pax showed up for the Riptide beatdown not realizing I picked up the Q instead. I don’t blame them, hell I was trying to do the same thing! One FNG this morning courtesy of Honeycomb, so the full, drawn-out briefing was in order. [Read More]

4 Pics, 1 Word

Pre-Blast 18 HIM for 5.52 *(more miles than #ao-sat-whiplash)* at the hardest working AO in CarPex on a Saturday, #ao-sat-phoenix. Proud of my fellow warriors…y’all killed it today. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag. Run out the east exit of the park down to the bank and into the dry cleaner lot for a 1 mile warmup. Circle up for: Good Mornings, Abe Vigoda, Runner’s Stretch, Groiner Merkins, Calf Stretch. [Read More]

Gran Torino Challenge

Date: 4/19/19 PAX: Biner, Hi-Liter, PBX, WWW Ruckers: Carvana, HotCakes, Skipper, The Commish For some reason, I thought I had the FMJ Q this week, but, I noticed on the Q summary, when it was posted, that I was not on the list. I checked my calendar and I had made a scheduling error, so I needed to make-up for it, if I wanted to stay on track with my quest. [Read More]

Biner and PBX looked lost with out @Hi-Liter @McCants was there @Loom delivered some Chat Masala @Press On s tank was too tight.

6 Inches

Hall of Famer Yogi Berra was once asked if he wanted his pizza pie sliced into 8 or 16 pieces… Yogi replied “ya better make it 8, I don’t think I can eat 16”. Sometimes the numbers can be deceptive so when we began our Claymore beat down with a partner combined 200 burpees, a few of the pax gave me stares and some a what the… look. Broken down to 10 sets of 10 sounds better right? [Read More]
