Hi Tempo with a side of Burpees

It wasn’t too hot, but it was about 1000% humidity as 14 HIMs braved the Booth to get Monday started the right way. Warm up Pledge allegiance, then mosey over to the Booth parking lot for SSHs, Cotton Pickers, Sir Fazio forward and back, overhead claps, and imperial walkers.

Site Q Duty

Maybe Hi-liter thinks it is at 5:45? Maybe he is late? He has been here for a 5:30 start. Humm, I guess we will stay close in case he is late. Hi-liter leads a lot so when his alarm didn’t go off and he was a no-show for FWD I was happy to step up and exercise my Site Q duty to lead the Q. Warm Up - Run and circle up by the park back to the flag for for SSH, GM, Merkins, Hill Billies, PJ, MC [Read More]

This anniversary beatdown brought to you by the number 11

Today is my 1-Year F3 Anniversary!!!! First post was a year ago today at Flirtin’ with Disaster. Funny story about that…… Blue Water EH’d me, but due to a mix-up, I posted in Carpex and he posted in South Wake. Joe Smith was was the Q that morning. It was his VQ, and I learned who “Dora” is, and how to get to the “Bridge of Pain.” Sosa and I were both named after COT.

Studs are made of 2x4's

I must admit, I had several doubts about this morning. I returned from the other side of the world only a few days ago and am just now getting my circadian rhythm back to Eastern Daylight Time. My sleep has been off, and I haven’t been as energetic as usual. To top that off, in true F3 fashion, I did the F3 ENC CSAUP “The Sasquatch” in Greenville, NC on Saturday.

A Good A Spot As Any

EC Run @ 5:10: YHC, Largemouth, Chanticleer, Denali, Chipper, Hermes, Build-a-Bear, Term Paper Lately I’ve been curious what a workout might look like if we never leave the Warm-Up Circle.

Thank you for your high-tempo leadership or Not

Date: July 23, 2018 Weather: 71 degrees, humid, rain over night, heat lightening, dry (just like the bite). Yesterday morning I noticed that the Q for K-Nite was open. Saw this as an opportunity to lead and more importantly to write the three Back Blasts I owed the men before I Q’ed again. Wrapped them up yesterday and planned yet another vanilla workout. 16 Pax answered the bell for another in a long line of vanilla clusters.

#mccantsweek Day 3 - Thanks, Khakis>crowd requests>ON YOUR LEFT

As we wrapped up COT at FMJ on Tuesday, I let the PAX know I’d be Q’ing SNS Wednesday, and invited to the beatdown. “What do you think McCants will come up with tomorrow, another MURPH?” said one. The PAX fell silent for a moment, pondering, praying, wondering whether they should just Vesper. Then an angelic, velvet smooth voice cut through the blissful peace: “I know exactly what McCants is going to do.
