94 degrees at game time. True HIMs battle through, and so after pledging allegiance 9 math-letes braved the streets of downtown Cary for a number-themed extravaganza.
Mosey to the circle for…
Warmup
SSHs, Sir Fazio, Cotton Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Plank Jacks, Merkins on my down AND up, and a few burpees cause I hear it’s a good stretch.
Thang 1
Double Nickel down the street. Alternating 5 Monkey Humpers at one light pole, 5 burpees at the next.

Get on them hills
YHC needs hills, the Pax accommodated. Here’s what we did:
Here’s who did it:
YHC, Old Maid, Banjo, Carmen San Diego
Here’s who we saw at the end (after doing their own thang):
Ollie and Mojo
Wake up the next morning and YHC and Banjo got back out there for this:
Solid work men. Looking forward to BroGa on Monday morning.

Thank You For Your Leadership
Sometimes jokes get out of hand. Like the way we all say “Thank you for your leadership” whether we’re being sincere or being silly. It was all grins and giggles until Hello Kitty announced that he was going to be on the radio taking part in a serious discussion about school choice in this great state of ours. Shut-in just had to say it. “If you fit in a TYFYL I’ll give you 100 burpees.

This anniversary beatdown brought to you by the number 11
Today is my 1-Year F3 Anniversary!!!! First post was a year ago today at Flirtin’ with Disaster. Funny story about that…… Blue Water EH’d me, but due to a mix-up, I posted in Carpex and he posted in South Wake. Joe Smith was was the Q that morning. It was his VQ, and I learned who “Dora” is, and how to get to the “Bridge of Pain.” Sosa and I were both named after COT.

How’s your burger?

Thank you for your high-tempo leadership or Not
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.

Kick your shoes off
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:

#mccantsweek Day 3 - Thanks, Khakis>crowd requests>ON YOUR LEFT
As we wrapped up COT at FMJ on Tuesday, I let the PAX know I’d be Q’ing SNS Wednesday, and invited to the beatdown. “What do you think McCants will come up with tomorrow, another MURPH?” said one. The PAX fell silent for a moment, pondering, praying, wondering whether they should just Vesper. Then an angelic, velvet smooth voice cut through the blissful peace: “I know exactly what McCants is going to do.
