Highway to the Construction Zone

Posted on June 15, 2018 | 3 minutes | 623 words |

I had a route all set and ready to go. YHC tends to leave the park for a roundabout journey as of late, so I was excited to walk it down, what with all the greenway closures in the area. I pulled up Strava just to review last week’s workout… and Rip beat me to the punch. And it was a more ambitious version of what I had scoped out on Google Maps, so here you go trash can, have a plan! [Read More]

YHC had a strange Sunday night. Two brews at the pool and things get discombobulated apparently. Took a “nap” from 1900-2000, then put the kids to bed, then put on the marriage study audiobook for Monday’s 3rdF at Starbucks by Costco from 0645-0715 and proceeded to wake up with the light on, one earbud in and the clock reading 0100…and no plan for the Krypto beatdown in place. 20 mins later the beatdown is planned and the light is off.

Hard to believe - we are here- June 4, 2018 and YHC has not Q’d in 2018 (other than vesper). This from a guy that averaged close to 1x per week in 2017. Oh well, off the horse and here we go. Step 1 - on your 6 - Have a nice day. This was a not so subtle dig at the site Qs that moved their AO start time to 5:30. [Read More]

53 and Counting

Posted on June 1, 2018 | 3 minutes | 569 words |

Since Angry Elf and I ceded our actual birthday Q to young Cap’n Hook, YHC grabbed the day after - the first full day at 53 years of age, and first full day at 43 for Angry Elf. Hello Kitty put out the word there would be an EC so I rolled in at 5:11. Upon seeing Largemouth and Chanticleer standing there, I almost kept driving. Luckily, Kitty was of the mindset and we took a nice 2-miler to warmup for what would become a tough morning. [Read More]

I was the Scout Master for Thursday’s Scout Week themed workout. As we do, we started out with the pledge of allegiance. Then we mosey to the bank for some: SSH IC Good Mornings IC Sir Fiazo Arm Circles , forward and reverse IC Merkins, on my down, holding for a 10 count after each set of 5 Warm-up complete, we run over to the pocket park behind Page-Walker where we start working on our first merit badge, Animal Science!

Do Your Best!

YHC was serving as Senior Patrol Leader today. As with F3, Scouts is a volunteer organization. Specifically, Boy Scouts is led by youth, giving them their first taste at organization, service, leadership, and sometimes humility. Today was a lesson in all four for YHC. It felt like herding cats to get the group to start moving, not unlike any Scouting activity. Trouble was finding four volunteers to serve as Patrol Leaders. [Read More]

Tighten Up

Lots of mumble chatter on social media this week about parts of Carpex that we needed to tighten up. Somebody’s gotta do it, might as well be YHC. Warm-Up Mosey over to the bank and circle up for side straddle hops, imperial walkers, copperhead squats, plank jacks and copperhead merkins. The Thang Mosey down to the library and partner up. Partner one will take a lap around the library parking lot while partner two alternates ten reps of two exercises. [Read More]

What do they call it when you dedicate part of a Q to a guy who doesn't show up?

In jest only, as McCants was called to remain on the home front, but YHC did set out to dedicate a portion of the beatdown to the one and only, PJ “McCants” Puryear. On what is the calendar date of YHC’s 1-year F3 Carpex Anniversary, I had to grab the Q spot at Carpex’s premier AO in downtown Cary on a Thursday morning. 22 are here, 20 for the beat-down and 2 with sacks of rice on their shoulders.

You never forget your first time

…that’s kind of true, but when in doubt just reference the backblast. On May 10th, 2017 a dude named Dice showed up to SNS on the invite of his buddy Jamie. It was weird because all the guys were calling him “Repeato,” never the less, on a brisk (to me at the time) 54 degree morning I logged my first Carpex beatdown at the hands of a one “Earhart.” Hello Kitty was born and I’ve mildly gravitated to F3 activities… [Read More]
