Back of the Lowes Parking Lot

Posted on February 1, 2018 | 2 minutes | 340 words |

I got a tip from my coworker that the park was closed this week. A quick check of the park’s facebook page, yeah it has a facebook page, and I knew we needed an alternate location. The back of the Lowes parking lot will work. I didn’t foresee the confusion on the location but Joe Smith is a lawyer so that might be the problem. I showed up and Hermes was already there and Ollie was directing people to our location. [Read More]

What the heck is an Octothreat

Posted on January 31, 2018 | 3 minutes | 532 words |

As the Twitterserve would have it, YHC and some of the fellas including Captain Insano got into a deep-cut thread over the weekend and thus was born the “Octothreat.” With the pressure of the entire F3 Nation, YHC set out to embark the PAX on the first-ever Octothreat. But first, another solid showing at Insomnia. YHC was looking for the easy way out before the Q on this morn, but the peer pressure pushed YHC into the 0505 start time (sorry to Angry Elf who showed up like a HIM at 0520 for recon). [Read More]

15 PAX joined me this morning to celebrate my 1-year F3 Anniversary. One year ago, my good friend Crimson convinced me to be ready to go at 5:15 am for a workout on a cold January morning. When I arrived at Dante’s Peak, I was overwhelmed with new people with funny nicknames including our Q (which I eventually figured out was the leader) named Hotspot. I don’t remember what all we did that morning other than bear crawl the bridge at DP but I thought there was no way I’d be back much less lead a workout. [Read More]

Insomnia 01/24/2018

Posted on January 24, 2018 | 1 minutes | 103 words |

Well, I guess if we’re going to make this official, we’ll need to start posting backblasts, eh? 4 PAX gathered to send off the thoroughbreds embarking on the Maynard (but really, chasing down Hermes) while listening to Metallica courtesy of race director Shut In. Nice. Warm up: Stretch yoself The Thang: Right on Hihg House, Left on Maynard, touch the post at James Jackson and turn around, Right on High House, Left on Maury O’Dell into the parking lot.

Five Guys Did Things

Posted on January 23, 2018 | 1 minutes | 61 words |

Five men gathered in the dark cold morning of North Cary’s finest AO to do things. If you really want to know what we did, then you could’ve joined us. Let’s just say it was spectacular. Moreso was closing down the Q with hearing from each what each man was thankful for. Couldn’t have started the day off better.

YHC out.

Phoenix Rising From The Arctic

Posted on January 20, 2018 | 3 minutes | 513 words |

Rising from days of snow and arctic air the 20 HIM at Phoenix this morning ended their week on the lofty heights of another Carpex beatdown. Here’s how it went: Warm-up: No FNG’s so no disclaimer and we were off jogging from the starting flag up the road to the next parking lot. Then, circled up for some SSH (IC), Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings, and Sir Fazio Arm Circles forward, then backward. [Read More]

Merkin in a Winter Wonderland

Posted on January 18, 2018 | 3 minutes | 431 words |

9 souls braved Snowmaggedon to be warmed by the fellowship that naturally occurs when HIMs get together. I mean, it’s scientifically proven. It’s the stable genius that makes us wake up at 5:15, put on four layers, and traipse through snow and ice. One might even call it talismanic. Also talismanic: that Ole Ripper has a backup truck. And not some small jalopy. I mean a MAN’s truck. Like a Canyonero 8000HD or some shit like that. [Read More]

No snow, no truck

Posted on January 17, 2018 | 1 minutes | 208 words |

27 men didn’t care what the weather man said. Snow? Blinding, blizzard like Cary-closing snow? No HIM cares about that. No such weather can slow an F3 man down. Now, having your Optimus Prime truck stolen out of your driveway, that can keep you from a workout. I’ve seen plenty of PAX dressed like ninjas lately, which is about what it would take to steal said Optimus Prime truck out of your driveway. [Read More]

Animal House!!!

A FWD workout that doesn’t involve running to the bridge or some other far away place. They said it couldn’t be done. And yet providence found a way. Warm up: 10x - GM’s IC 10x - Windmills IC 10x - IW IC 10x - MC’s IC 10x - Murcans SC The Thang: Run out of the park on the sidewalk and then cut back through the woods to arrive at the basketball court.

Thirsty Thursday Pub Crawl

Posted on January 11, 2018 | 2 minutes | 392 words |

Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the digital emotional headlock. The Twitters were damn near frozen last week, but alas YHC and Riptide were able to talk FNG Ted into making his debut at BO (nickname to come in NMS). With that YHC set out to introduce him to Carpex’s flagship AO with a tour of the local watering holes. So a pub crawl it is. Warm-up: Mosey to the bank to take out some cash for our pub crawl After Coney dropped the ball (we did some good mornings), McCants stepped up to the “how much money do we need to go out drinking” with a healthy “$60, aye!
