High Tempo Hangover

I wasn’t sure what kind of attendance to expect at a high tempo 0530 workout the morning after our Carpex Christmas party. With three Gran Torino site Qs, I figured that means there should be at least four of us. Turns out an impressive group of 15 only slightly subdued PAX showed up for their post-party beat down and my first GT Q. Here’s what we did: Warm-Up Jog to back entrance of school and circle up 20 SSH, IC 20 Imperial Walkers, IC 25 Merkins 20 Mountain Climbers, IC 15 Windmills, IC Resume jog to Preston Village circle Thang 1 [Read More]

Gut Buster Pre-Party

With the Carpex Christmas Party coming up this evening YHC thought it’d be good to work those bellies. Temps were a bit chilly and ice was abound but 15 pax skated right through the beatdown. We started with 12, then Two Factor arrived during warm up, then Khakis arrived later in the warmup, then finally McIlroy during the first Thang. We did burpees for Two Factor but not knowing how many more pax might show up throughout the morning we stopped it right there. [Read More]

Shortest backblast Top 10

The numbers were low, yet very vocal during this relatively mild morning. We did log around 4.2 miles total! (#neckstrain) Also, I have no idea how to change a date on wordpress, so for the record, this back blast is from December 1st. Thang: Hill 7’s by kiosk (Burpees and CDD) Flood wall by pond partner 1 rock the body, partner two run the levee loop (3 rounds) Finish with a run around the pond for the whole pax, stopping periodically to do Imperial walkers and catch the six.

Warning and Warming

Our brother Chinese Downhill was scheduled to Q at Dante’s Peak this morning, but something came up and he needed someone to cover for him. We talked this week about picking up the six, here it is in action. Trike agreed to take the Q, and asked YHC to co-Q with him, so let’s go. Warm-Up 23 pax make our way down to the circle at the end of the parking lot and circle up for side straddle hops. [Read More]

Christmas Tour D'Apex

14 gathered on a beautiful crisp Thursday morning in December. I love tacky Christmas decorations, so we will go on a tour of DT Apex Beignet Food Truck for warm up SSH x 15 IW x 15 GM x 10 Jump Squats x 15 Pizza Hut Merkins, Squats, WW2s x 5 Cigar Shop Merkins, Squats, WW2s x 10 Apex Baptist Merkins, Squats, WW2s x 15 Sun Trust Merkins, Squats, WW2s x 20 [Read More]

Changing of the Guard

Due to technical issues, there is not a way to have the QIC list both Beaker and YHC as the QIC but he was in the mix and deserves the glory. Warm-up Beaker led all the PAX from the flag over to the other lower parking lot and back again to get the legs moving. Once we circled back up we enjoyed a few other treats: SSH x 20 Windmills x 10 Slow Count Merkins x 10 Good Mornings x 10 Thang 1 [Read More]
