TTT is back!

It was a perfect morning to bring out the old tank-top, but it required digging it out of my pile of old t-shirts that I keep for some reason. Is it possible for t-shirts to have sentimental value? Smokey had the same idea, and looked quite stylish in his colorful apparel. We began with the F3 disclaimer and pledge. Then a short jog to the end of the park for: [Read More]

Perfect Timing

YHC rolled into Sovereign Grace Church to notice 2019 HOTY candidate Theisman doing ECP all by his lonesome. Although PAX were gathering in the parking lot, this called for a few ECP to make sure the ol’ QB was not lonely. At 0529 we joined the other 20 in the normal gathering spot for Tortoises. Disclaimer was disclaimed, and off we did not go. Warm Up Circle up, 10 burpees OYO to calm the chatter. [Read More]

An IMPromptu Beatdown

Riptide was on the Q sheet. Unfortunately, his M is very sick and he wasn’t able to make it. He did message the site q’s in advance, but I didn’t see the message until after the workout. Rooney had work early this AM, so YHC took the helm for a Q off the top of the dome. Here’s what went down: WARM-UP Jog over to the Pre-School parking lot. Mosey over to the Pre-School parking lot.

A Beautiful Mind

It was a beautiful morning for work out that scored a 9/10 on the Cataract’s Scale of Workouts. I am truly humbled by that score and will strive for the perfect score soon. 25 HIMs showed up for a fun time at the Peak of Good Living’s best down town park. When I start thinking about the workouts I want to put together, the stream of thoughts that sends me down these random paths of connections. [Read More]

Hablo un poco de espaƱol

Buenos Dias, Hermanos. When it was announced that Liverpool and Water Wings would share their Chimbote, Peru (or is it Chipotle…) story with the Pax at a bread braking and the Q sheet was WIDE FREAKING OPEN for that day, YHC had to jump on it. Knowing we’d have a squad on hand, I was extra excited (hard to believe I know) for this one. With a resounding Yooooooooooooo at 0544, we got ready to roll out. [Read More]

Bartmanniversary IV

23 PAX turned out this fine morning to help YHC celebrate four years of gloom. That’s right, this week marks 48 months of getting after it, and it’s as if A-Team hasn’t changed a bit. PAX in the low 20’s, rain more often than it should, and a bunch of go-getters ready to hit it. A 2-mile EC led by Disco was the perfect apertif. Mosey to the front parking lot and circle up.

It's Better the 2nd Time

Fortune smiled on Ma Bell Sunday night. After a trip back to Cary from down East, a long solo ruck, the opportunity to charcoal grill some chicken, YHC settled in to see what he’d missed on Slack when what from his wandering eye should appear but a DM from Banjo. What could he want? Alas, he was offering the Q at Wolverine. Cool, cool. I’ll take it, Banjo. I pre-blasted the change to weed out the weak. [Read More]
