Four swarthy gents posted for this week’s Rolling Stone hosted at SnS. YHC saw a recommended workout posted this weekend in honor of Jerome Gonzales, a GRT and Pathfinder who died this past weekend during an event. It sounded like a good time: http://www.teamspearhead.com/2018/02/17/jerome-gonzalez-14-199-pathfinder/ With that, we grabbed an extra ruck along with 40# and 60# bags, and headed for the ball field lot. There, we did: 2-minute AMRAP push-up (no ruck) 2-minute AMRAP sit-up (no ruck) 2-minute AMRAP ALRSU with ruck Burpee time: 10 ruck burpees, farmer carry ruck 80yd in one hand 10 ruck burpees, farmer carry ruck back in other hand 10 ruck burpees, recover.

When YHC’s alarm roused YHC from YHC’s dream about a land where Burpees are always in perfect form and L-R counts as 2 lunges, YHC said to YHC, “YHC, it’s a great day for YHC to have the Q at YHC’s favorite AO at a USA Baseball Complex directly adjacent to a toll Interstate that YHC spends several of YHC’s pretty pennies on. But, what should YHC bring to the party today?

Rolling Stone 2/15/18 at BO YHC had a plan for Rolling Stone today, I swear.. but I also had a feeling that it might be a good day to join Banjo. And so it was. While the rest of the group paired up to complete sets of 100, the three of us split up the work in thirds. It seemed a fair trade with the addition of 30 (or 45) pounds. [Read More]

There’s an ongoing Slack-o-sphere “discussion” over the #1 AO in all of Carpex. I’ll admit, YHC has stirred the pot just a bit over this one. The primary goal for the February 9, 2018 edition of Dante’s Peak was to show the glorious versatility and overall excellence of what I consider to be THE top destination for PAX of Carpex. So let’s get on with it. Solid group of HIMs (HIDAs? [Read More]

Happy to be back heading up #TeamFOD this morning. 13 more pax decided to as well. Looked like 5 enjoyed a new signature EC run in as well. We aren’t all blessed to have AOs within running distance to our houses, people. (At least you don’t do like some pax, whom shall remain nameless, and make them run to you and name the EC run that you only half partake in after yourself. [Read More]

When: January 30, 2018 AO: FOD QIC: Biner Arrived at FOD Tuesday morning to see the Cary police questioning several PAX. Nantan arrived and handled the situation. Read the rest of the story on the carpex-news channel. Warm Up One lap around the parking lot and across the road to the soccer field parking lot. 10 good mornings followed by 7 or 8 dirty birds*. *shuffle in place, Q calls “turn” - turn right then back and keep shuffling Q calls 2nd “turn” - turn left then back and keep shuffling, Q calls “down” - hit the ground and back up and keep shuffling, Q calls “jump” - jump and keep shuffling. [Read More]

Last week at Flying Circus, Biner was giddy with excitement over the arrival of a new ruck. Where to break it in? Camelot? Nah, ’tis a silly place. 4 PAX decided to oblige him at SNS. We couldn’t have picked a better morning for it: clear skies, a giant full moon turning to red as the Earth’s shadow passed over…oh, and a balmy 17F of chill in your face. Somehow, hauling 35# through the gloom, mixing in some PT, and I’m pretty sure none of us noticed the chill.

As the Twitterserve would have it, YHC and some of the fellas including Captain Insano got into a deep-cut thread over the weekend and thus was born the “Octothreat.” With the pressure of the entire F3 Nation, YHC set out to embark the PAX on the first-ever Octothreat. But first, another solid showing at Insomnia. YHC was looking for the easy way out before the Q on this morn, but the peer pressure pushed YHC into the 0505 start time (sorry to Angry Elf who showed up like a HIM at 0520 for recon). [Read More]
