Date: June 25, 2018 Weather: 101 degrees, Humid, Clear, Wet fields. 21 Pax showed up for a little cluster at Wolverine. A nice little site located between a couple of soccer fields. We had an FNG…..we named him Go Blue…which made Hi Liter happy. Warm Up: Mosey over to the soccer field. Circle up for a warm up of the usual. SSH, GM, SSH, GM, SSH, LBJs, Jump Squats. Thang: 4 cones are placed on the field. [Read More]

Here’s the set up: 2 weeks ago, YHC and the Nan’tan himself are standing in line waiting our pimento cheese at the festival and we’re chatting F3, as we’re often to do. We’re talking about the impending 10 (or 9) pack and how I’ll round it out with a co-Q at Phx. To the Nan’tan’s credit, he’s always thinking and says, “I have access to The Crick’s Q sheet, let’s see if it’s open. [Read More]

Hey guys. What day is it? What time is it? I’ve lost all sense of reality at this point. I awoke, I think I put on underwear, and grab what smelled like a cleanish shirt. I miss my family. I miss the fartsack. But alas, I press on. Q 8(ish) of 10(ish) awaits me at SWW and I can’t let the fellas think I’m getting beat down. Let’s get it! [Read More]

Truth be told, YHC is feeling some pressure on this BB. But, in the words of a sage Carpex veteran: “Keep it vanilla and Q to the site.” - Carman Liuzzo, 57, Burt Wednesday, June 20th, will go down as an EPIC day in Carpex history. The menu looked like this: 0430 - 0500 HIMs launching for the 10.7 mile Maynard loop (14 by YHC’s count) 0505 HIMs launching for Insomnia, YHC on the route Q 0545 HIMs gather for SNS + Tortoises + Vesper convergence at Bond Park 0630 COT with 77 strong, followed by 2nd/3rd F fellowship and Chinese Downhill sharing this powerful and emotional story.

Rollcall on Insta: Video Here Beatdown on Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/1648034732 YHC’s first time running in to an AO. New (temporary) living quarters put me about 1.5 miles away from FWD. Upon arriving at the parking lot a car was already there and the pax was missing. A few minutes later Chipper runs out of the shadows and explains he had a little insomnia so he decided to EC run 3 miles. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Date: June 13, 2018 Weather: Humid, 83 degrees, cloudy 40 Pax total, including 17 for Vespers. What a group! 5:45. No Pet Sounds (he did make Refinery). Burt takes the Q. Warm up: Mosey to the gate, head to other side of the gate for a standard warm up including 20 burpees, SSH, Merkins, Cotton Pickers, Good Mornings and Little Baby Jumping Jacks. Sprints up the hill (about 40 yards) with a prisoner run back down the hill.

Lifesaver: A thing that saves one from serious difficulty, a ring-shaped life preserver, a piece of candy. AKA: Disco Duck, Yoga Mat and Dice! The Thang: 12 Pax Met at Bradford’s Ordinary 6/9 at 0745. Scratch that the train is delayed (of course), make it 0845. Some got in some 2nd F at LeFarm and some just hung out at the house a little longer. Mosey over to the Train Station and wait on the 92 Silver Star scheduled to leave Cary at 0808 and arrive in Raleigh at 0834. [Read More]

YHC had a strange Sunday night. Two brews at the pool and things get discombobulated apparently. Took a “nap” from 1900-2000, then put the kids to bed, then put on the marriage study audiobook for Monday’s 3rdF at Starbucks by Costco from 0645-0715 and proceeded to wake up with the light on, one earbud in and the clock reading 0100…and no plan for the Krypto beatdown in place. 20 mins later the beatdown is planned and the light is off.

Yes, you gotta jog up Tryon past Piney Plains and down past the fancy apartments on the left to get to it. 10 Pax circled up at 0530, we jogged up to the Veterinarian entrance for a standard Shut-In Warm-Up. Jog up Tryon Rd, do some irkins on the guard rail, jog up Tryon Road, do some LBC’s at the Nationwide office, jog up Tryon Road past the fancy entrance sign at the apartments, to the greenway and back down into the emergency spillway aka/greenway tunnel.

13 HIMs (most of them with shoes) met for a high-tempo beatdown at the Koka Booth Amphitheater. A handful of the pax had just spent an awesome weekend camping with the 2.0’s at Hanging Rock State Park and had some extra calories to burn off. After brief mumblechatter and confirming all Pax had shoes, we set out…. Quick jog around the lot to pick up last arrival and avoid penalty Burpees, then across Regency for some Warm-arama: [Read More]
