Rocks Ad Nauseum

12.5 PAX and 2.5 IR PAX assembled at FOD for another round with Beaker - you know who you are Fifty-Fifty. I’ve had in mind to run a Q that hopped from rock pile to rock pile throughout a site, and today seemed as good as any to try it out. The Warm-Up (Beaker’s Beginnings) Jog up to the West FOD entrance where there is a Rock Pile 1 comprised of little baby one-handed rocks. [Read More]

Workout Wednesday.. on a Thursday

YHC is always on the lookout for some ruck workouts to change things up. Sometimes we stroll, sometimes we step it out, sometimes we do PT. Lucky for me, GORUCK posts a Wednesday Workout, and this week’s looked pretty good. With four of us to get after it, we stepped off to go find a coupon for our ruck-less brother. Everyone pick up a pain stick at the parking deck. Everyone. [Read More]

1-2 Texas Hello Ranger Kitty Knockout

What happens when Texas Ranger and Hello Kitty tag team for a co-Q beat-down at Phoenix? … … a little Texas Kung fu kitty cat knockout. It was wet when YHC rolled into Bond Park for Phoenix this morning. The rain was beating down on the entire drive there, but then on cue the rain let up as we started the workout, and it was a beautiful morning. YHC led the first half and Hello Kitty took over.

Lamp Posts and Pickle Pounders

The day had come: YHC’s F3-aversary – 365 days since stumbling out into the gloom at SNS and earning a new appreciation of the nuances of Bond Park. To commemorate, YHC chose to Q at BO in downtown Cary. BO has become a favorite because of the variety of options it presents and how no two workouts seem to be the same. Making sure that today would be no different, we prepare to head out into the lamp post-lit gloom. [Read More]

Good Friday - Stations of the Cross

To get our minds right for the power and solemnity of the Good Friday holiday, a team of 29 HIM commemorated Christ’s journey to Calvary in a special Danger Zone - ‘Stations of the Cross’-edition. The 14-part story of Stations of the Cross follows Jesus from His condemnation by Pilate, to His beaten, lifeless body being laid in a tomb hewn from rock. Each station featured a theme, helping us find new meaning in Christ’s journey. [Read More]

QDR and only QDR

Men, It’s been a, what’s the word I’m looking for? Weird? Scary? Exciting? Few day since the return of Mad Dawg to the Triangle’s number #1 country station, 94.7 QDR. With that, YHC felt moved to host a QDR organized (not themed) workout. With tank tops on, and a disclaimer ta boot, we’re off with the bluetooth pumping the tunes. Warm-up: Over to the lot on Walker for: Good mornings (in radio DJ voice) Quick feet x 9 Donkey kicks x9 Ranger Merkins (don’t google it) x9 Q: Over to the hill on the back side of DTC park for Quadrahill [Read More]

Amazing Race, Cary Edition

13 PAX hit the streets of Cary for a special edition of Amazing Race. There were only winners in this contest, and everyone showed great spirit and teamwork in completing the challenges. Who knew a scavenger hunt could be so painful? For something a little different, we gathered in the church parking lot for a quick warmup before learning the rules of the game: Warmup: Good mornings, Imperial Walkers (or hillbillies, Flacco style), Side straddle hops, Willie Mays Hayes (one of YHC’s favorites) [Read More]

Limited Running

The Hi-Literversary Week and the Disco Duck Birthday Week overlapped, giving two brothers an opportunity to co-Q Phoenix, the greatest Saturday AO in all of Carpex. Because some of the PAX were running in the Break the Silence 5K later in the morning, we decided today’s workout would be limited running. Disco takes the first half, Hi-Liter takes the second. Warm-Up Mosey down to the Parking Lot of Pain and circle up for side straddle hops x 10, imperial walkers x 10, Sir Fazio forward x 10, Sir Fazio backward x 10 and warm up burpees x 7. [Read More]

Thank God for parking Decks

Wake up to yet another Rainy morning in Cary, seriously!!!! I have signed up for yet another Q in the rain, but thank God there is a parking deck close to the AO where we can exit the downpour. Check the Radar before heading out, yes the rain is here for the duration of our upcoming beat down. Put on the rain jacket and head to BO and surprisingly there are 7 warriors there to meet me, under the eave of the building across the street. [Read More]

'Roid Rage

YHC has been battling some sort of crud for the past 8 weeks, and finally found relief in the form of …STEROIDS! That’s right all you spindly jabronis, can you smell what the doc is cookin’? This mofo is JACKED UP and ready to work out after a 2 1/2 week hiatus. So buckle up, we’re gonna make like a bunch of gym rats and knock out a whole week’s worth of pump in 35 minutes. [Read More]
