So it is another fine day in southern Cary and how else should we start other than with nice cold 5:30am exercise with 12 PAXs. Warm Up It was cold, well at least I was, so we ran from flag toward park and did two laps so we would not be too cold during warm up. Then we started with 12 Good Mornings because the Q was having trouble breathing and counting at the same time and did not know when to stop. [Read More]

14 early birds opted for the latest and greatest 0515 AO ever to grace Carpex with its presence! As AC/DC’s “Back in Black” lit up the airwaves of the Kokabooth parking lot pax began arriving in their themed black attire. Forget tanks. “Badass Black” all DAY! The question, “Do we need headlamps?” was presented and quickly laughed off by the 3 co-site Qs. Yes, 3 site Qs. Let’s meet them: Hermes - cofounder of FWD, greek god, and headband wearer.

I almost spilled Merlot during my VQ. I knew I wanted my VQ to be the week of my 30th birthday and no better way to send Kyrie back off to Marine Pilot school than to try to give his Marine boot camp a run for it’s money (yeah right). Accomplishment Adrenaline. The Warm Up The Pledge of Allegiance. Mosey over to the FM parking lot for the warm up which included a little bit of Good Mornings, Side Straddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Merkins and LBCs. [Read More]

16 pax came out to do a thang this morning… YHC has never done the Q week thing because…well because YHC doesn’t want to. It’s tiring and it’s a lot of planning and backblast writing. Yet, somehow we got where we are today. 5 b-day Qs this week (day 6 is the Odyssey, aw shucks oh well). As YHC pulls into the lot he sees 4 guys punkin him and running before the workout.

Q-ing from the Sidelines

Posted on October 9, 2018 | 4 minutes | 674 words |

Flirting with Disaster was my first F3 post last August and I knew that I wanted my VQ to be here as well. It was a full circle as Joe Smith had his VQ at my first post and he was out there with us this morning. My goal was to cover some ground and avoid running in the pitch black (towards the bridge) as I didn’t know how may headlamps we would have amongst us. [Read More]

Kryponite was my 1st Carpex Post so why not go back to where it all started for my VQ to see how much I have improved from that cold January beat down. The adrenaline/nerves were high as we started 30 seconds early with a mosey to the large parking lot by the Koka booth entrance. I had one thing in mind for the 14 PAX who joined me on this adventure and that was high tempo. [Read More]
