Lost one before the turn

 Posted on December 10, 2020  |  2 minutes  |  380 words  |  

Pre-blast: IR friendly. QIC is nursing some foot stuff. Nothing major but trying to get to the point where I don’t feel tightness first thing in the morning. With that in mind, I scan the area - through Google Maps of course - and see there may be a nice trail leading from one of the parking lots out to Lochmere Lake. Looks like a nice short cut to cool views and some rocks. [Read More]

"Vanilla" Cold as Ice Workout

 Posted on December 4, 2020  |  2 minutes  |  255 words  |  

When the Q sheet was empty for Point Break on Tuesday, I looked at the forecast for Wednesday morning at 5 am and saw that it was going to be a balmy 29 degrees. I was sold on the Q. But what to do at Point Break, so many options. My only option was to run, run and run some more to keep warm. So that is what we did. Pretty “vanilla” workout for Carpex standards. [Read More]

The Name Game (and Gerald Owens)

It’s been a loooong time since YHC has been to FWD. Wonder if anything has changed? YHC got out of the car and could hear Hermes squeaky, but booming voice, telling dad bad jokes. Nope, nothing has changed. After a lengthy disclaimer orated by YHC, the eleven of us were off on a warm-up run that included the FWD baby gherkin pickle and continued to the parking lot where we used to do Monkey Humpers in front of the Crossfit place.

Coming Home and a Whole Bunch of Nickels

 Posted on November 19, 2020  |  4 minutes  |  827 words  |  

Preamble When Respect Week was announced, I immediately signed up to Q BO. You see, BO was where YHC’s first post occurred and where Ma Bell was born. Make no mistake: the couple of other so-called Ma Bells across F3 Nation are but impostors. There is only one Ma Bell. But I digress. Anyway, it is for this reason, as well as the fact that this is the best AO in CarPex in terms of variety and history, that I have an emotional attachment here. [Read More]

Mystery of the F3 Prius (QIC: Oofta)

 Posted on October 29, 2020  |  1 minutes  |  192 words  |  

QIC: Oofta On his way to BiB this morning, Pierogi began following a silver Prius with an F3 sticker on its back bumper. Piergo assumed he’d follow this Pax right into our parking lot. Not so! The Prius took the turn immediately before ours and headed into a separate Koka Booth parking lot. 3 for EC (Hermes, Oofta, Francois). Great crew of 15 for the ME. Mosey to the rock pile. [Read More]

Some Kettle Bells are made of Tin2Iron

 Posted on September 3, 2020  |  2 minutes  |  378 words  |  

The PAX didn’t know they were posting for Hell’s Bells 2.0 in the Gloom this morning, which made the surprise all the more worth it! Tin2Iron is a difficult workout to plan due to the no running rule. As a Q, you want a good, hard workout with plenty of sweat…so my choice for getting hearts pumping was a massive amount of kettle bell swings! Fun times were had, here’s the workout: [Read More]

For the second time in the past two months, YHC needed to carry out my site Q duties at Claymore by stepping in for a last-minute impromptu Q. Frisco had given me a heads up that the VQ he had lined up (no, not Frisco) for today might not show, so there were already some ideas percolating. It’s 0545, and after pledging allegiance at the shovel flag, we’re off for a slow mosey around the circle. [Read More]
