Miles and Merkins

Preamble Last time I signed up to Q Gran Torino, there were some shenanigans. I felt bad about pulling the wool over the PAX’ eyes with that masterful switcheroo in our annual Ninja Q Swap. So when I saw the opening on the Q sheet right after New Year’s I jumped on it to make amends. The pre-blast was apparently just ominous enough that a couple of PAX decided to ruck instead.

Frisco FOMO

YHC and site Q had the pleasure of leading the group on the last Hells Bells of 2019. By the end of this week it will be my 1 year anniversary with F3. I couldn’t thank this group enough for how much this has meant to me to be a part of Carpex. With my 1.0 in town for Christmas and a member of F3 Cleveland, I knew I had to bring my A game this morning. [Read More]

Release The Hounds

16 for the main event and 8 for the pre-run on what started out as a pretty normal Monday morning - 40ish degrees in December, a plan to cover some ground with a few exercises thrown in, and Burt yelling my hospital name before we even left the parking lot. But we eventually got into the Regency neighborhood where someone released their pair of attack dogs as we were doing hill repeats in front of their driveway. [Read More]

Sevens on the Seventh

14 studs met up at Bond Park and didn’t let colder than expected temperatures keep them from being awesome and putting in a hour of hard work. Warm-Up Mosey over to the community center parking lot and circle up for imperial walkers, arm twirlies (forward and reverse), copperhead merkins, copperhead squats and Gooooood Mornings. The Thang Mosey to the back of the community center, partner up grab a rock-yo-body sized rock. [Read More]

Jack, Jill, and that Dang Hill

When I heard Triple Lindy would not be at HB on Monday I was elated. That left only his weak-willed co-site Q, Wahoo, to monitor me. Below is what we did(ish) today at HB. The theme was leaning on your brothers when you are struggling to get it together. We had a weight vest we passed around between sets. I pushed everyone as hard as I could without being stupid. I modified my plans when I felt we were taking it easy or switched it up when we were courting injury. [Read More]

It’s been a year since my last HB Q and it was great to be out again! MO

Date: 11/26/19 PAX: Ashbury, Chanticleer, Deuce, Intimidator, JD Powers, Meatloaf, Monkey Nuts, FNG Right Stuff, Sega, Smithers, Triple Lindy, Wahoo, WWW It has been almost a year since I’ve been back to HB. Being The A Team co-Site Q on the same day makes it tough to get to HB. This is my first since it moved from Apex Nature Park to Sovereign Grace Church. Glad to be back doing KB. [Read More]

Girly Man Monday

A few weeks ago I wore my “Where the Heck is Ausfahrt?” shirt when I posted. And HIM Ausfahrt was not there. This prompted some to speak with a German accent… which eventually led to Hans and Franz and “Pumping You Up”. What better theme for a workout than to play songs about girls and get pumped with kettle bells? With my Ausfahrt shirt on and music paused for the pledge we began. [Read More]

Double Your Pleasure with Double 7s Doubled

Two years ago I was introduced to F3 and it has become one of the top 10 most impactful relationships on my life to include all people and organizations I have been a part of. You HIM have encouraged and spurred me on to be more in all three Fs than I could have ever imagined becoming. It is with a heart of gratitude that I embark on this week of 7 Qs as I hope to give back to those who have given to me and encourage those who are just beginning their f3 journey. [Read More]
