Making Tortoises Great Again

Posted on August 11, 2021 | 3 minutes | 537 words |

Approximately 4 years ago, after months of EH’ing by CHiPs from South Wake, YHC made his F3 debut at the premier Wednesday limited run AO in all of Carpex. I say approximately because there is no backblast for the workout. But it was the 2nd Wednesday in August, if my feeble 51 year old memory is doing me any favors today. It was rough. Yogi had the Q and I’m pretty sure I coded at least twice during the workout. [Read More]

Last Saturday, YHC moved from Chatham county closer to the center of the Carpex universe, going from 0 AOs* within an EC-able 3-mile radius to approximately half of all the AOs in Carpex (or as HK calls it, the Nation). What better way to move in, meet new Pax, and ensure that YHC wakes up and works out each day instead of sleeping in on a week off than to Q every day at a Cary AO? [Read More]

The scene is dark, still and very quiet. There is barely any visible light but then we are jolted by the sound of an alarm clock and the darkness is pierce by the clocking showing 4:45am. Cut to: key in ignition Cut to: driving down the road before sunrise. Cut to: wide angle shot of 10 HIM milling around a parking waiting for what would become the best way to start ones day.

Another Nice Q

AO: Back In Black Workout Date: 07/01/21 My sixty-ninth Q of the year was the prior Friday at Boiler Room, but that won’t stop me from repeating the joke for my sixty-ninth challenge Q today. Nice. BIB starts surprisingly early (0515), and YHC pulled into the Koka Booth lot just in time to catch Cauliflower and Adjacent for the prerun. I laced up and we were off on a two mile loop where we saw lots of wildlife (rabbits, a bat, maybe a mouse? [Read More]

So 3 years ago I showed up to Rush Hour, it was stupid hot, I had no gloves, but a man who I would later learn was named “Old Maid” walked to the parking lot welcomed me, and led me over to the gathering point to introduced me to the rest of the men gathered. We waiting for the “Q” named “Riptide” who arrived right on time grabbed a small kid’s tricycle and said follow me. [Read More]

Fabulous morning with fantastic dudes at SWW! Including FNG Todd, brought out by Full House – nice! He showed up in full sweat pants & sweat shirt – those did not last long! More on him later…. here’s what went down…. Good crowd gathered & EC group rolled in off the greenway – 22 was the count. Started with the pledge & a mosey around the big loop to warm up in the shelter – Good morning, windmills, fazios +, merkins, mtn climbers, etc. [Read More]

Really beautiful, crisp & cool morning at BnB! Here’s what happened: Welcome & mission, no FNG, pledge. Mosey to the big office building for warm-up – typical stuff. Then, the big Thang – 21’s merkins & monkey humpers working the big parking lot making beautiful Strava rectangles – added LBC’s on the alternate corners…. After that we got a little bear crawling in as promised & it was back to the flag for CoT – parking lot was packed with Lifetime Fitness folks crowding our space – what the heck people? [Read More]

Parental Advisory

Balmy 34 at Koka Booth at 0515. Cauliflower and Squatter for the impressive 0445 EC. 12 Pax for my second attempt at a gangster rap strength workout. No one was clamoring for this the first time around, but it was so famously interrupted that I wanted another chance to stick the landing. Mosey half-way to the rock pile. Quick warm-up. Mosey all the way to the rock pile. Choose a non-traveling rock. [Read More]

Fourth Year Celebration Part 2

Due to joining a Bible study group which meets on Tuesday nights, YHC hasn’t been able to be in attendance at the infamous downtown Cary location that is Rush Hour in a while. But given that this day (4/6/21) marked my 4th year in F3 Carpex, and the fact that I planned this out at the beginning of the year, I was not going to miss it! I had already Q’ed once this day in the early morning at FWD. [Read More]

Though I really wanted to celebrate Disco Duck’s Respect Q, I had already committed to Q’ing OTR on this fine foggy morning. 10 others joined YHC for bunch of thangs with mediocre mumble chatter so I was told. With no FNGs present, we started with the Pledge of Allegiance. Mozy to parking lot for warm ups Good mornings seal claps sir fazios forward and backwards Seal Claps/Overhead claps Imperial walkers side stradle hops Thang 1: Partner up for Dora. [Read More]
