Vanilla Ice Cream Social

BB 18 HIM’s and one @f3_breathtaker (worn by @CK) joined YHC for a very vanilla DJQ at DZ.

Back of the Lowes Parking Lot

I got a tip from my coworker that the park was closed this week. A quick check of the park’s facebook page, yeah it has a facebook page, and I knew we needed an alternate location. The back of the Lowes parking lot will work. I didn’t foresee the confusion on the location but Joe Smith is a lawyer so that might be the problem. I showed up and Hermes was already there and Ollie was directing people to our location. [Read More]

Birthday Extravaganza and January 26 History Lesson

YHC’s birthday fell on a Friday this year so of course I was planning to Q the best AO in Carpex, on Friday, in North Cary. To my delight, Saban has the same birthday and the same plans. The Co-Q fix was in. 14 arrived, one was a FNG - 13 on time, Flip flop was late. Come on bro, as a future site-Q, you are going to have to tighten up. [Read More]

Agility City: High-Tempo Style

Finally got to Q the AO known as Kryptonite, which is listed on the F3Carpex site as “high tempo”. That being said, it has always been unclear to me what “high tempo” exactly means in a F3 workout. Oh, YHC has been to quite a few of “high tempo” F3 workouts, including Kryptonite and F3 Raleigh’s Whiplash. Yes, the aforementioned “high tempo” workouts are without question more physically straining, but are they really high tempo?

Five Guys Did Things

Five men gathered in the dark cold morning of North Cary’s finest AO to do things.  If you really want to know what we did, then you could’ve joined us.  Let’s just say it was spectacular.  Moreso was closing down the Q with hearing from each what each man was thankful for.  Couldn’t have started the day off better.

YHC out.

School makeup day - CARPEx Dad style

After barely one day of schooling since sometime in the fall, the 2.0s came out in force this morning for a makeup day care of Dr. Pierogi. And, as any good substitute teacher, I had a vague idea of a lesson plan in mind. Yup, that’s right. This was going to be another classic Pierogi Q… except this time I had grand hopes of keeping the troops motivated with the promise of snacks and Gatorade! [Read More]

No snow, no truck

27 men didn’t care what the weather man said. Snow? Blinding, blizzard like Cary-closing snow? No HIM cares about that. No such weather can slow an F3 man down. Now, having your Optimus Prime truck stolen out of your driveway, that can keep you from a workout. I’ve seen plenty of PAX dressed like ninjas lately, which is about what it would take to steal said Optimus Prime truck out of your driveway.

Roundabout

Hot and fresh from the BRR interest/info meeting held by Hot Spot the night before I had fond memories of Old Maid’s Vesper Q from way back in the year 2017. So with vests, lamps and batons in hand we did what all great men do. Stand on the backs of those before us to reach new heights, ahem elevations? Warm up: 10x - GM’s IC 20x SSH IC 10x - Windmills IC 10x - IW IC 10x KDK IC The Thang: [Read More]

Wolverine Tour (or how we found our way out of the gloom)

Does anyone else sleep terribly before a Q, especially when it’s an AO VQ? YHC isn’t afraid to admit that he does. This time was no different. At least three times I woke up checking the clock, making sure I hadn’t overslept. Maybe it was just the fact that I hadn’t done much in the way of planning for this Q. After all, what’s there to plan for when you can’t see the nose in front of your face? [Read More]

The 2nd Most Amazing Workout To Have..... never happened

Yep the weather app stated 11 degrees. At 6:40 a.m. YHC waited for next door neighbor @f3pierogi to emerge. Nothing. Damnation, he fartsacked on his own neighbor. That’s when YHC should have gone into his garage, utilizing Pierogi’s obvious garage code “TCUrulz”, to confiscate all his homebrew. But YHC didn’t. Instead moseyed/slid a couple of blocks to DZ. YHC was nervous. Ice appeared to be covering DZ—potentially spoiling YHCs plan for the 2nd Most Amazing Workout To Have Ever Happened (the 1st Most Amazing was here as written by @mccantscarpex).
