The Road Less Traveled...backwards

It was several weeks ago at Full Metal Jacket when some Q (I’ll just say Hi Liter or Riptide to cover my bets) called 7’s and in a very respectful and diplomatic way, Callahan screamed out from the PAX that we’re doing them wrong. He continued that 7’s were not just shorter versions of 11. He then grabbed his ball and went home. Being a good person, I wanted to make sure he was ok so I reached out to him and asked him what he meant and how could I make things right. [Read More]

Cadence Count Cluster warm up followed by flawless Thangs

The morning may have gotten off to a rocky start but we finished strong by doing over 2 miles and honoring our beloved Bojangles Warm up 10 Good mornings, followed by 20 or so SSH’s followed by a failed attempt to do imperial walkers in cadence Thang 1 - Moseyed down to the lower parking lot and did Bojangles with Blueberries. 3 laps around the pickle with 5 burpeee’s after lap 1, 10 burpee’s after lap 2 and 15 burpee’s after lap 3.

Water Wings Week Begins

YHC couldn’t have asked for a more glorious morning to Water Wings Week than what God blessed us with this morning. Water falling from the sky pretty much the whole morning to keep the sweat at bay. We moseyed to the usual warm-up parking lot for some SSH, Merkins, Calf stretches and Good Mornings. Next, Mosey to the far parking lot to find a rock. We setup in the parking circle for the thang.

DRP - Decisions

#DRP Proverbs 25:28 - Like a city whose walls are broken through is a man who lacks self control We each made the conscience decision to take the Red Pill - resolving to do what is hard and true, over what is easy. Each day we make 1000s of decisions, some of which set the course for our lives. Your first decision today was not easy, its raining, its cold, but you knew that through this effort you would be incrementally more than you were yesterday. [Read More]

Chilly Mini-Cooper

I have to admin it was quite chilly this morning but 12 PAX braved the colder temperatures to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the finest site in NW Cary on Thursday. I am sure the PAX would have preferred Clementine’s Q but since he had an unfortunate accident last weekend on the Odyssey YHC took over the lead spot. Get better soon buddy! We all arrived early so it was tempting to take off before 5:45 but I thought Trike might come in on two wheels but he never showed up so off we went. [Read More]

Some tea for Dora

Over 70 Pax showed up for the Odyssey only two days ago, and after six AO’s and 11.5 miles of total distance covered….rest assured there would be some sore pax by this morning. Would it be possible to hit a muscle group that wouldn’t be sore already? Let’s see….. Wait, what tha hell is this hard clear stuff on my windshield?!?!?! Frost?! Weather channel said 36 degrees!!!! After the truck warmed up enough to get that melted, I headed to the AO for a little EC Odyssey recovery run with Ollie.

Welcome to DanKryptoPeak

It wasn’t my intention of running a Kryptonite-style workout the day before Odyssey but from the mumble chatter, that’s what it turned out to be. I debated what I should do for today’s Q and what I didn’t want to be sore tomorrow, so I was hoping this was the right choice. According to some, I failed. PAX of 1 (YHC) for an EC run PAX of 4 for EC pull-ups. [Read More]

99 percent participation became 100 percent

So for my second Q YHC decide to Q at the place I posted for the Second time, and place that has become a favorite of mine Bradfords Ordinary As we waited for pax to arrive a few comments were made about the sweatshirt I was wearing and lack of tank top. I did wear the tanktop and shed the coat, Loom put the tank top over his F3 shirt prompting Burt to say we had 99% percent participation in TTT. [Read More]

Circumsack

30+ Pax found a way to get to Bond Park Senior Center today between the hours of 0430 and 0545. Some arrived that early for #TheMaynard, others a little later for #Insomnia, and picking up the 6 were those ready for a #Beatdown or a #Vesper run. For those that couldn’t make it a new(ish) F3 Lexicon word was discovered by YHC during a recent 43Feet podcast. Some guys faced certain circumstances; work, family, scheduling, issues and had to fartsack.
