Give Me Liberty or Death!

With all the spirit and having experienced the 1776 beatdown personally, I felt one more inspirational workout was due to the PAX. With everyone there on a hot and muggy morning, we head out running out and back, circling around the Nan-tan for the first group of exercises and: Warm Up 10 Good Mornings 20 Imperial Walkers 20 Variable Side Straddle Hops 15 Elevated Heel Raises 15 Mountain Climbers 15 Elevated Heel Raises [Read More]

The CarPEX Declaration Celebration

In honor of this Carpex’ declaration of independence this year from F3 Raleigh, we hijacked the nation’s birthday…no this was about America. And Independence. And Revolution. And Democracy. And Old Glory. And rockets red glare. And Freedom. And moon shots. And heroes. And Bald Eagles. And the Greatest Got Dang country in the world! And it all started in 1776. So 35 of Carpex’ and 2 of F3 Raleigh’s finest did this. [Read More]

Victory of Bed Eluded

8 pax: YHC Banjo, Bartman, Texas Ranger, Ma Bell, Enough, Ascot, WWW, Disco Duck YHC’s mind and body were exhausted following the 1776 Revolution yesterday, but even the common victory of a bed eluded me. I removed myself from the bedly comforts, body tight and sore, but not broken, ignoring the cats meow’s and the family slumber. Panic seared through my veins, remembering with a disheartened mind today’s Q at Tortoises. [Read More]

The Pax Shilted Themselves

15 PAX showed up for the third installment of YHC’s Q week. Rumors of Sharknado swirled (pun intended), but an audible was called, and a beatdown then delivered.

PAXTRIOTIC 17-7-6 CLUSTER

Thank you BO Site Q/ Twitter Owner whoever you are for reminding me of my Q this am. I was well on my way to Cave Workout until I saw the tweet. Whew. Hating that I will miss the 1776 workout on the 4th (no, not really), I thought it would be fun to do a thematic workout this morning. I busted out the red-white-blue apron and wore it over my USA Tank. [Read More]

Christmas in (almost) July

Dozens of PAX gathered on the grounds of Bond Park this morning for the second installment of YHC’s Q-o-Rama. Most were unaware that between Rip Tide’s being, in, out, in, out, in, and then out again of the Topsail convergence, YHC had pre-blasted a clear clue to today’s theme: Fa la la la la, la la la la. Warmup: SSH and jog to the field Thang: Christmas in June (because YHC is effing busy come July), Days 1-12, and then Days 12-1, all single count (because YHC is cheap) [Read More]

It is all about the trip

25 PAX showed for my first Q in a while. YHC is used to being avoided and “Q Shopped” with all the new AOs and multiple options per day. Before this, it was just fartsacking. Nothing new………..so I was delighted to see 48 eyeballs, at least 18 which I have never seen. With my boy McCants wrecking folks over at FWD, YHC was not to be outdone. Warm-up - Jog uphill, all the way to the top parking lot. [Read More]

Self Driving Q

YHC and 4 members of the F3CARPExDIEM BRR Team spent the weekend battling mountains, so there were to be no squats today. While the PAX waited at the locked front gate, a local seasoned citized walked up and informed the PAX the he had just seen a video with a self driving bike. He couldn’t belive we would send our kids to school on a self driving bike. What’s next? BONG - 6:45 sharp - after a quick scan for FNG’s we were off (Whoops) [Read More]

You NEED me to tell that joke!

A large crowd gathered in the drizzly gloom. It was as if God was crying over the tragic death of our F3 Lexington brother, Cheech. At 0545, we gathered around the shovel flag and bowed our heads for a moment of silent prayer in his remembrance. Then - as I’m sure Cheech would have wanted - off we went. To the back, past Cheddar Bo shed, around the cul-de-sac, and back toward the shovel flag to the opening in the fence to the football fields. [Read More]

Sooey's Birthday Party

29 PAX from Carpex and South Wake joined me to celebrate my birthday at Bounty Hunters! This was my first Q and I’ve been thinking about how to deliver a solid showing for my 38th birthday. We welcomed one FNG (Parker) and provided him with the standard disclosures. After giving my 1 minute warning we were off at 5:45 sharp, or so I thought! We had a visit from the Apex PD that got us off to a slow start. [Read More]
