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]

More like HIMstamine, am I right?

Holy hell, dat yellow stuff is everywhere. Regardless, we pushed through. A group of HIM out for an EC run, and YHC set off to chase down Theismann for ECP. Check out our convo on getting better on today’s PUT6. We wrapped up recording just in time to hear the pax getting restless, it must be spot on 0545. A backwards run for the Q gave me a chance to drop the moving disclaimer on the pax before we’re up to the lot for warmups. [Read More]

Sub's Sub

When the scheduled Q doesn’t show up for the workout it’s up to the site Q’s to provide the beatdown the PAX have come for. With our brother Sub AWOL, and after losing four of seven games of rock, paper, scissors to co-site Q Smokey, it was up to YHC to deliver. Warm-Up Mosey into the park, notice the batting cages, advise the PAX to remember them, perform ten burpees to aid their memories. [Read More]

On the hunt

OK fellas, YHC was feeling a little something extra this week in prep for a Phoenix-lead beatdown. I showed up at 0600 with a pocket full of scavenger hunt clues. Before setting out to strategicly place them around Bond Park, Brother Snots pulled into the lot. With that we rolled out… …back in time for some mumble before the beatdown, seeing no FNG’s YHC dropped the F3 mission statement and credo on the pax, and we’re off. [Read More]

#F3MentalBattle

37 shakers and vesperers came in to the gloom on special day across F3 Nation, a day where we set aside some time during COT to talk about mental health. But first we have to squeeze 45 minutes of pain into 35 minutes. To help us out, and to illustrate a point, we’re taking one of the Rolling Stone coupons with us, a solid, sturdy log, large and heavy enough that it requires two PAX to carry it. [Read More]

Tears of Pain

A beautiful, God-given morning greets 18 HIM for an impromptu, Earhart beatdown (get better Riptide). Most of the PAX show-up on time, so quick disclaimer and pledge allegiance then a quick mosey around the big parking lot. Circle up for: Warm Up Good Mornings Combo of shoulder work including arm circle twirlies, overhead claps, behind the back claps Cotton Pickers Windmills The Thang Done with warm-ups, each PAX grab a bell, Sega grab the 15lb medicine ball and head to the back shelter.

Hello Kitty Q'd Dante's Peak on a Friday in Apex

I’ll admit, sometimes I still flip on the ole GPS to get me out to DP, but when I get there I’m reminded at just how glorious this site is. A few hombres showed up at 0510 for ECP and laps. The only way to get better at pull-ups is to do more pull-ups. Aye! Back to the lot around 5:35 for record PUT6 w/ The Commish. Episode available HERE. [Read More]

PG Rated

A I happened to check Slack at around 9:30PM Saturday night and notice a Riptide post looking for a co-Q for Phoenix Saturday morning. I jumped on and decided to help Rip make his daughter’s Soccer game for which Hermès never stopped talking about for 30 min. Speaking of Hermès, many were happy they left the 2.0’s at home cause old Hermz was in rare but normal form. He did apologize during the prayer LOL! [Read More]

Twas a starry night in the gloom which was ideal to bring on some Thunderstruck!

Date: 3/18/2019 QIC: WWW AO: A Team PAX: 15 For some reason, Sky Q forgot to turn on the heater. Albeit being a crisp / brisk morning, it was a blessing to be out there leading the PAX in the workout. Sooey graced us with his presence to get his walk in. Sooey is da Man because he did not wait long to get back out in the gloom. There is always one or two PAX that would not mind taking a walk with him. [Read More]
