Pre-BRR Hills Today Boys

YHC called a pre-BRR hill day with four laps up the big hill along Cary Parkway (0.8 mi round trip). A few HIM’s arrived early for the EC, then we went right to it. Frying Pan joined us from Rock Hill, SC. Quick warm up over by the CrossFit place, then off to the hill for the workout. Top exercises (one each lap): 30 LBC’s; 30 Freddie Mercs (4 ct); 30 Dying Cockroaches; 30 Hello Dollies. [Read More]

Baker's Dozen 60 Minute Co-Q

Jigglypuff popped his Co-Q cherry this morning when he teamed up with YHC to take on a 60 minute beatdown at Phoenix, Cary’s only Saturday AO. A lucky 13 came out including 1 FNG - Wrench for what turned out to be over 3.4 miles of running and other hoopla. Warm Up YHC’s watch of nearly a year decided to stop working. We started 1 minute late due to this but off we went down to the Kiosk. [Read More]

Go West

The Slack- and Twitter-spheres were abuzz for the first 75% of yesterday which led to a steep dropoff - all pointing to some unproblematic numbers for the 5th of July. Our suspicions were confirmed! FNG Check - Mission Statement - LET’S GO Run out to Evans and hang a left. Pause at the corner for Good Mornings, then turn onto Apex Barbeque back into the park for warmups consisting of IW / SM / CS / SFAC,OC,rSFAC,MN / CP. [Read More]

The Freedom Trail July 4th Convergence

@Qwerty, @Red Ryder and YHC met last week to plan the 2019 July 4th Convergence hoping to create something special. Our goal was to keep the PAX together in order to preserve fellowship and maybe a few exercises in-between. The disclaimer was disclaimed, the F3 Mission was delivered and Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner put the PAX in a USA state of mind that included a Fly Over courtesy of Delta. [Read More]

Greenways, Ovals, and Snakes

Lion’s Den! Only my second post there, but man is that a nice site. Just wish it wasn’t a 40 minute round trip drive to get there. Ne’ertheless, here we go! FNG check (one!), even numbers check (yes!), <16 people check (also yes!), clunky disclaimer, LET’S ROLL. Mosey around the lot for Carioca both ways, backwards and forwards run, then continue the mosey to the north lot for GM / IW / SSH / CP / SM / PJ / MC. [Read More]

Inverted Sunrise at FwD 06-18-19

YHC is honored to Q this morning at my old stomping grounds. It is good to be back. Chipper, Jiggly Puff and YHC followed Oofta’s lead on a 3ish mile EC run launching at 4:55. It looked like a couple others got in a shorter EC run. Circle up, disclaimer, moment of silence for Warchild. The Warmup: Follow me, jog around the pickle, some Good Mornings, Windmills, Sir Farzio Arm Circles and SSH for good measure. [Read More]

6:11

Here we are! My first ever Limited Run Q! I’d been to Claymore once before (and Tortoises about 3 times), but limited run always makes me nervous… nevertheless here we are. 6 for EC down to Lake Pine and back via the Greenway. FNG Check / Disclaimer / LET’S GO Warm up: GM / IW / SSH / HB / SFAC / rSFAC / OC / CP / Merkins / MC / PJ / Calf Stretch [Read More]

There's a fine line between Mumble Chatter and just plain whining.

Because sometimes 0500 is too late, our EC today started at 0450. YHC, Snots, Sub, Parker, Water Wings & Jiggly Puff got dizzy running circles around the track. Welcome to Carpex (from Wake Forest) Kid Rock and his 2.0 Hank Williams Jr. Run to the basketball court to circle up **Warm Up **Good Morning, Windmill, Cotton Picker, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Clap, Overhead Clap, Moroccan Night Club, Steve Erale [Read More]

The Term Paper

Today, at Flying Circus, 13 PAX celebrated two dates that will forever live in infamy. The first, June 6, 1944, the day when Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy to begin the liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany. The second, June 5, 2018, the day of my first F3 posting at Field of Dreams, led by Term Paper. To commemorate these two events, we replicated my first F3 Carpex experience designed by the famed Term Paper, and added some D-Day twists as well. [Read More]

Battle Rope Monday

Two weeks ago, Squatter busted out a battle rope at FWD. I loved how much I hated it, so I ordered one for my home gym (aka, 8 square feet in my garage, usually covered by tricycles). Fast forward to my VQ. A-Team leans problematic, and I suspected the VQ trainwreck might draw some additional bodies, so I tried to brainstorm some ways to corral the masses. I settled on Battle Rope Monday.
