Pre-Blast 13 lean mean running machines convened at Kryptonite for a sweatier-then-normal high tempo jaunt through the darker-every-day gloom that enveloped CarPex’s exclusive AO designed to push even the most elite athletes to grow stronger by challenging themselves and one another to go further and faster than they ever have or thought they could because they had inadvertently placed self-imposed limits that God wants for them to break. The Warmup [Read More]

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. Today we found out. To help, I brought some fun toys to play with. An agility ladder, jump rope, 40lb sand bag w/ handles and a 30lb sand bag w/o handles. 5:44:30 I give the disclaimer to FNG Cheese Pelt. 5:45:00 we run 50 yards from the upper parking lot to the lower parking lot.

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.

Saturday, July 21st – another chance for DR dudes to get after it at OIB Pax of 4 arrive at the pier for a 0630 launch. Some thoughts on a straight run, but by the gathering we opted for a solid sand-based beatdown hosted by YHC. On hand for the occasion were YHC, Denali, Dean (from Kernersville) and Salt Life (quickly becoming an OIB reg-U-lar). Here’s where we went, thanks to space tracking: [Read More]

A gorgeous morning in Cary!!! 60 degrees and 91% humidity after weeks of 80 degrees and 97%+ humidity! With tour-de-Carpex month, the aim was to keep it challenging, but to also not scare off any infrequent Kryptonite visitors in the hopes they come back to this AO! There’s lots of running, sure, but it isn’t JUST about running! YHC was very pleased to see a solid stream of cars rolling into the AO as we got closer to M-Minute.

"PLAY BALL!" A Birthday Q Story

A couple of months ago YHC thought it was only right to honor the Carpex tradition of Qing on your Birthday, so I signed up for a Friday, July 6th Q at the infamous Slippery When Wet. Why is it infamous? Well, legend has it that back in the 80s Bon Jovi’s tour bus broke down as it was passing through Cary in the early morning hours. Back then, Cary was just a zygote that would later develop into the boisterous town we now know.

Hey guys. What day is it? What time is it? I’ve lost all sense of reality at this point. I awoke, I think I put on underwear, and grab what smelled like a cleanish shirt. I miss my family. I miss the fartsack. But alas, I press on. Q 8(ish) of 10(ish) awaits me at SWW and I can’t let the fellas think I’m getting beat down. Let’s get it! [Read More]
