Posted on February 4, 2019 | 3 minutes | 535 words |

As we all search for the meaning of life and our purpose and all that serious stuff, sometimes, it’s nice to just have a little fun. Ferris knows this for sure…so let’s have some fun on our day off. We start the day with the pledge and a quick warm up jog to the neighborhood clubhouse parking lot for the warm-up. Let’s start the day by saying Good Morning to Ferris and then meet some of our other favorites. [Read More]

Peek at Google maps + Skipping EC for Recon = An excellent plan for SWW. Term Paper didn’t let me off thaaaaat easy though! Props for that EH into a .8 mile EC to catch the EC 6. Here we go! No FNGs (but a few new faces for YHC). FOLLOW ME. Quick lap around the parking lot and weave through the basketball court to the greenway entrance lot. Circle up for: [Read More]

The Night was Lit, albeit wet

Well it was another beautiful evening gloom for a PAX of 6 at Rush Hour, and when I say another beautiful evening I mean we had a consistent rain on us the entire time. Which I had not factored in.. But it was all good, cause as we know F3 still happens rain or shine, and its always a great day to be alive, Amen? Amen! Warm Up First we jogged over to the parking lot just before Academy Street, and proceeded with following exercises: [Read More]

Upon checking the weather last night, I posed the ‘more PAX than degrees Fahrenheit challenge’ to the Twittersphere. This ended up being way closer a proposition than we thought it’d be! 25 > 22. With our strong crew of 8, take a lap around the parking lot, and venture into the park. Pause for a warmup consisting of 10 x GM (here comes Pivot) 1 penalty burpee 10 X IW [Read More]

Advice about being out in the cold from the Boy Scouts: layer up. Advice about being out in the cold from “To Build a Fire”: keep moving (and learn to build a fire) Advice about being out in the cold from Costco: Little Hotties are $30 for a box of 40. Advice about being out in the cold from my wife last night: “You’re an idiot” The PAX at A-Team this morning I think agreed with all of the above. [Read More]

I've Never Seen Vertical 4 Corners

Posted on January 18, 2019 | 1 minutes | 158 words |

In keeping with the spirit, I’ll be brief. 11 PAX (including Great Britain’s ambassador to Carpex; great to have Arsenal out) showed up in downtown Carpex for some parking deck fun. Jogged to the little used Town Hall parking lot for warmups (The usual) Mosey over to the top of the parking deck for some vertical 4 corner 7’s (or, as some people call them “Sabans”). Starting at the top with 6 Burpees. [Read More]

AO: Slippery When Wet QIC: Staubach It was an honor to do my VQ with this great group of men. I am very appreciative for F3 and all that is has done for me in my life. Thanks to @bluewater for getting me out there last June. Here is my VQ backblast: It was pretty nice, about 40 degrees and a little damp. My nerves were high as I headed out for my VQ. [Read More]

Leg Day at Back in Black

Posted on January 10, 2019 | 3 minutes | 483 words |

Where did this cold weather come from????? I much prefer the 47-55 degree band and look forward to getting back there! Several Pax know I somewhat regularly hit the gym after F3, and today was supposed to be leg day in the gym. My original plan was to hit F3, then go lift. Unfortunately, I’m slammed with all-day meetings and did not finish my presentation yesterday, so I need the time to do that. [Read More]

Plan B. Think anyone noticed?

YHC signed up to Q arguably the toughest of CARPEx AO’s last week and immediately set to thinking about what to bring to the PAX. Pullups? Not at this sprawling hey pull-up-bar lacking site. Celebration Merkins? Ditto no… although the big shelter has plenty, there’s just not that much room? Compass Merkins? There’s a thought. But one of my fave’s are the baseball fields, providing an nice setting for low-mileage beatdowns. [Read More]

Carpex Challenge 2018 is in the Books

Posted on January 8, 2019 | 1 minutes | 171 words |

Congrats to the 36 that participated in this year’s challenge. In the end, very few completed all 3 Fs, and in fact, not many were able to post at every AO in 2018. Perhaps I made it too difficult this year, or maybe I didn’t do a good enough job marketing the challenge. But I think it’s more likely a statement of our growth. In the end, it was successful, because I know that it made some number of PAX push themselves a bit more and get out of their comfort zone. [Read More]
