AO: The Green Mile Date: 12/28/19 PAX: Biner, Crimson, Deuce, Disco Duck, Trike, WWW This workout was a week beyond schedule. The original date was 12/21/19. Unfortunately, I picked up a 48 hr cold bug on 12/20 which, I could not shake off. I had to give up my Q to true HIM, Franklin. He was gracious enough to accept a Q swap on short notice. It was greatly appreciated. [Read More]

Coming in Hot

Numbers always start declining a bit once the temps dip down, and the last couple weeks have been no exception. However, YHC had pre-blasted that we’d stay warm at Dazed and Confused today, despite a reading of 25 on the Steve. So, at 05:28 there are 16 PAX bouncing around - maybe in anticipation, maybe just trying to stay warm. At 05:29, YHC’s long awaited FNG rolls in on 2 wheels, having already been warned that we don’t tolerate being tardy. [Read More]

Re-evaluating Life Decisions

Posted on December 14, 2019 | 2 minutes | 382 words |

Early this morning, YHC, Wrench, Flenderson, Two Factor, Jiggly Puff, and some random Maynard participants gather at the Cary Senior Center. For some crazy reason YHC decided to join in on the EC festivities offered by Wrench on Slack last night. We started the morning at 5:30 setting out for a 5 mile loop. 54 minutes and 5.51 miles later YHC arrived back to the senior center for the ME. I was beat and clearly questioning my life decisions at that point. [Read More]

When I saw Slappy’s note go out requesting someone pick up Lion’s Den for him I was ecstatic. He had said he was feeling sick but would still Q if no one took it. That sounded like a recipe for some sloppy Slappy merlot and I wanted a second row seat for it. Then Slappy DM-ed me a personal photo of mine I had uploaded to GroupMe back when I thought it was a just private storage site (Thanks a lot, Sub! [Read More]

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]

So About That Hip Flexor...

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, November 29, 2019. After the triumphant T-day convergence, which sported a CARPEX record of 3,964 PAX including 561 FNGs, most of us practiced a LOT of gluttony. YHC consumed enough calories on turkey day to power a 747 jet on a cross-continental voyage. 11 HIDAs, including one FNG, were here to out-king their queens. Whether they knew it or not. Speaking of kings, Prom King is late so 10 burpees is our reward. [Read More]

Cinder Block Pyramids

Posted on November 27, 2019 | 3 minutes | 454 words |

I wanted to make this one brutal so I scoured through F3 Greenwood’s IronPAX challenges and merged a few of them together to come up with this. While I was at my work/geek convention (i.e. KubeCon) in San Diego I ran through this workout at the hotel with a 30lb kettlebell (the heaviest one they had unfortunately). In short, it sucked, but do-able. So I grabbed all of the cinder blocks and two spare KB from Hell’s Bells the night before. [Read More]
