In CARPEX, we have a saying “if there’s no Back Blast then either it was a Riptide Q or it didn’t happen”. But the Odyssey did happen (I have the t-shirt to prove it) and so it must to go down into the annals of CARPEX so that someday future generations will read about it and ask themselves “What the #*@(#* were those morons thinking?!?!!” So what the #*@(#* were we thinking?

15 pax loosely gathered, sprinkled throughout the parking lot. Most had never been to this site, include one of the site Q’s who shall remain nameless. Ok, it’s me. I have been a total slacker as a site Q. I learned it by co-site Qing with the king of slacker Site Qs…who will remain nameless. Ok, it was Callahan. But you already knew that. Everyone converged in the middle of the parking lot after the flag was finally planted. [Read More]

Q DATE: November 2, 2018 23 HIM for the inaugural Gran Torino Q on a fantastic November morning. The workout plan was stolen from inspired by Freydaddy’s Catalyst Q YHC posted at last week. Since Gran Torino is hi-tempo it needed to be tighten up a bit. We covered 3.7 to 3.9 miles and did some other stuff. Warmup • Pledge allegiance • Jog over to the front of the school • Take a lap around the figure 8 formed by the carpool and bus loops • SSH x 30 • Frog hoppers - like a squat jump but just using feet and calfs for jumping - Hi-liter commented that they were a bit effeminate - next time we’ll do kegels [Read More]

And all through the park creatures were stirring and leaving their mark. “Has there ever been a rhyming backblast?” He said with a grin. All those laps on the field made my head spin. It was dark, cold and wet! and somewhere Frisco was thinking “what else can I drink for a bet?” We got up, got dressed and then had a good morning, then took towards the summit without proper warning.
