14 High Impact Men for a high-paced (for YHC) Kryptonite work out this morning! The Warm-up: Mosey just past the tent next to the lake, circle up for some Good Mornings and Imp Walkers. Get into four 3-4 man teams, do the weave/baby indian run around the lake to the stop light. Squat hold to wait on the six. Run to the next parking lot up the road on the right, circle up for some more warm up, I don’t remember what I called here. [Read More]

On August 2, 2017 Shakin’ not Stirred became Friday (Wednesday) Night Lights with the Carpex Fighting Fish. 29 PAX arrived for practice. Also, the Carpex cross-country team headed out with 5 in toe (sorry Ma Bell) for a Vesper’s conditioning run. First a tip of the coaching visor to Burt for the modify as needed t-shirt and the love for YHC, Hello Kitty. With fire in their bellies Coach Kitty gave a rousing pre-game speech (some got emotional), telling the team that by giving all they had on this day we would be ready to take on Bingville on Friday night.

Glorious morning at Kryptonite this morning. 11 warriors show up. Stare at each other. Ask who the Q is for the morning and YHC takes the bait. Let’s see what went down: Run around the tiny parking lot and pick up Khakis; COP - SSH, Mountain Climbers, Merkins, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers; Indian Run over the the parking lot we haven’t been kicked out of yet (#meanstreetsofCary); Partner up - Partner #1 runs to the road/Partner #2 does exercises (Star Jumps, Squats and LBCs) x2; Run to new location - Burpee broad Jump sandwich - Bear Crawl to the first light pole, Burpee Broad Jump to the next light pole and Bear Crawl to the final pole; Suicides - Three light posts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lldD6SVbBQc Yep, just got back from Colorado, as my team qualified to compete in the USA Ultimate Frisbee National Championships. My team hadn’t lost a game since 2014; an unparalleled feat, which resulted in two world championships and one national championship. So when we lost in the quarterfinals by one point, we were certainly disappointed. We ended up 5th in the nation, so not too shabby, but we already were planning our return to greatness, which is exactly 360 days from today. [Read More]

Pre-BB In 1785, William Cowper wrote a poem he entitled, “The Task.” In it, Cowper wrote the famous idiom, “Variety is the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavor.” And so it was that SNS this morning was Extra Spicy. BB When the guy who first invited you to F3 asks for help, you help him. I gladly said “yes” when Water Wings asked for a Q sub today. [Read More]

12 PAX decided to get up 15 minutes early this morning. One of them was Burt…get a few Bond Brother brews in @burtcarpex and it’s easy to talk him in to posting to Kryptonite. Knowing this I thought it’d be fun to peg the Respects against the millennials (if they would just put their phones down.) Jog down the Koka Booth parking lots to the way back and circle up for warm up… [Read More]

Sleds in July! YHC dusted the cobwebs from the ol’nog’n to come up with a limited run workout that would entertain the PAX looking for a fast pace…. Here goes. Shutin stated to Aspartame at 5:25 oh there will be others. And as he finished that sentence in roles 4 more…. Something about Kryptonite, is it the 15 minutes earlier, or the location. YHC was pumped to have 7 PAX show even with the limited run preblast / warning. [Read More]

Lucky 13 PAX showed up at Hunter Street Park on a beautiful 60-degree June morning for my first Q since milestone birthday week a few months ago. We were all about to confirm that the 0.5-mile loop around this AO lends itself pretty well to a nice little running circuit with a few pain stations. 0545 approaches, none of the prolific mumblechatterers in attendance (probably at BO with Burt), quick check for FNGs (none), and a brief announcement that there will be no awkward partner exercises today… and off we go.

We had a solid crew at Kryptonite this morning and apparently the mumble chatter started early. When YHC arrived 2 minutes before the stated start time, there was already rumblings about whether or not I was aware of the 5:30 start time. Kelly brothers bet wrong, Term Paper had my back. Hermes was Switzerland and Chanticleer, Denali and Fluoride had yet to arrive. Boys were getting out of their cars as the clock hit the appointed hour so off we went – down the path toward the amphitheater, 2 quick lefts and a right and circled up at the light for [Read More]
