First time over at the fairly newly minted Kryptonite and decided to see what all of the fuss was about. Stallions that’s what. These hombres want miles, speed and whatever you can throw at them. Varsity team need only apply….non of that Thursday night JV stuff, no sir. That being said, YHC didn’t want to bring down the mean, especially after having spent all weekend with Denali at Y Guides Spring Outing. [Read More]

Friday morning, my wing man Qing at the other CarPex Friday AO, 60 ish degrees, 1 FNG, 1 Pax from Down East, One Kotter, 13 total Pax not including one Pax riding the flag in on a bike and then leaving….a little better look than my spin class episode. Tunes were on the box and appropriately changed to Boston radio at the suggestion of our NanTan who also suggested the Friday HH spot out at West Park Tavern. [Read More]

First thing, TClaps to Shutty for nailing the COMZ Q and restoring my access to F3Nation.com. Can any older gents tell me if forgetting passwords at 38 is normal? I will keep it brief today, a welcome relief, I know. Anyway, before we can even make all the good mornings, the shovel flag (poorly planted as it was) falls over and we’re due some penalty burpees. For the ACTUAL workout, short story is, today is the 38th celebration of my birth. [Read More]

Slow warm up run to start, circle up for some warm up. Merkins, Cotton Pickers, Plank Jacks and Superman. The Thang: 4 Corners, Merkins, Burpees, American Hammers and Carolina Dry-docks. Then short run to Rock Pile, Partner Dory with rock, 100 Curls, presses and squats. Start run and did some more Burpees and Dying Cockroach Finished with some Mary COT FNG’s Punch Down and Chalkboard. Welcome to F3 Great support for these men from the PAX, very impressive.

Once in awhile, it is nice to post at an F3 location that has one substantial exercise, or small sets of exercises that repeat for a good 35 minutes. It becomes a sort of moving meditation with your mind becoming the only deterrent. That is the beauty of the “Murph”. For those of you who do not know, this workout is titled after the Navy Seal Michael Murphy who was killed in action during a firefight in Afghanistan in 2005.

It would have been easy - though maybe a bit trite - to come up with some March Madness themed workout given the championship game was the night before. But YHC was just ready to get the juices flowing and work out some aggression because: YHC was tired from having stayed up and watched a basketball game Officials and BOG overseers of the university that the winners of said basketball game represented willfully, arrogantly, and unremorsefully initiated and perpetrated the longest and most egregious case of academic fraud in the history of sports in order to keep players eligible, maintain their cash cow of a revenue stream and ultimately win championships so said officials and BOG overseers can bloviate to their country club, academia, faux academia, and law firm colleagues how “their” basketball team is better’n your’n, all while NCAA and ACC officials nodded in agreement as aforementioned officials, BOG overseers, hired mercenaries, PR firms and pompous academics obfuscated, hid behind obtuse laws, delayed, denied, countered, covered up, and persecuted in order to keep the truth from being exposed.

A bold PAX of 25 posted this AM. As Coxswain came cruising in at 05:44:59, the PAX proceeded to the newly erected Town of Cary downtown park fountain and circled up around the fountain. The men were blown away at its beauty and the Q drowned out by its constant flow of running water. Warm-Up: 20 Merkins 10 Good Mornings 20 Side straddle hops The roar of the fountain was so intense that the Q had to audible off of his invisible wenke and ordered the PAX to Academy street for an Indian Run/Hunt for the rock pile.

It has been a tough two days for YHC with Kentucky’s loss to Carolina. We played carelessly, without the abandon needed to close, giving away unnecessary FGs, missing critical layups, dunks, and free throws. YHC has seen the replays. Yes there were some bad calls (some really bad). John Higgins [rooferies.com] best be glad he lives in Omaha. But we lost by 2 points, 2 that were missed earlier in the game multiple times.
