8/7/17 Inflating Snake BLIMPS at Inspiration Point

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]

The Rose

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.

Audible City

18 of the best looking gentlemen in F3Carpex convened at the greatest Area of Operation in the nation: DangerZone! A FNG roared in a sweet looking 1962 Mustang (could have been a 1954-1968 Mustang, I have no idea, but it was a classic car nonetheless). Small talk and Smack talk ensued until 5:45 a.m., and we were off to run around The Pickle…… …..ooops, forgot to give disclaimer to FNG. In an unprecedented move, the disclaimer was provided by YHC to the mustang guy while on the run, who then said something about his niece being bad, YHC “I’m sure she’ll be OK”, FNG said something like No my sneeze is bad, YHC “probably the humidity”, then FNG yelled at me “My knees are bad”!

PAXTRIOTIC 17-7-6 CLUSTER

Thank you BO Site Q/ Twitter Owner whoever you are for reminding me of my Q this am. I was well on my way to Cave Workout until I saw the tweet. Whew. Hating that I will miss the 1776 workout on the 4th (no, not really), I thought it would be fun to do a thematic workout this morning. I busted out the red-white-blue apron and wore it over my USA Tank. [Read More]

Who says that running is my Kryptonite

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]

Big Numbers of Little Pax - F3 Dads

60 Dads And 2.0s Posted for the First 2017 F3 Dads [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxtRgs-zGws?rel=0] YHC didn’t know what to expect when it was preblasted out to have an F3 Dads event in Carpex. Even leading up to final prep last night after the wicked thunderstorm (making a few audibles) I had ballparked it at about 24-30 total… Shows how much I know! It was AWE - SOME! I’m so proud to be a part of this group of F3 PAX. [Read More]

Aristocrat Does Not Know Jack

Terrific late spring morning. Low 60s. Dew Point of 45. Couple of Shovel Flags planted. 21 of CarPex’s dudes came to Danger Zone to get stronger. At 5:35 there were only 2 cars in the lot…one of which was in my usual spot. Not a big deal since it was Tecumsah who is relatively new to Danger Zone, but not F3. He is a beast. At 5:45 20 dudes were ready to roll and then in rolled Marlboro.

Presence in life

A rule YHC learned early was to listen more than talk. In every interaction with the Carpex PAX I’m inspired. Today was another one of those times to soak in what others have to share. Go Time 0530 Jog to the Parking Garage and up the steps to the top floor SSH x 25 (IC) Windmill x 15 (IC) Merkins x 10 (IC) Mountain Climbers x 20 (IC) Merkins x 10 (IC) Peter Parkers x 20 Parker Peters x 20 Thang One: Do to our limited numbers and the plan to have mostly partner work YHC called an audible and we Moseyed to the covered porch.
