Riptide was on the Q sheet. Unfortunately, his M is very sick and he wasn’t able to make it. He did message the site q’s in advance, but I didn’t see the message until after the workout. Rooney had work early this AM, so YHC took the helm for a Q off the top of the dome. Here’s what went down: WARM-UP Jog over to the Pre-School parking lot. Mosey over to the Pre-School parking lot.

It’s a little known secret that when YHC Qs sometimes I transpose numbers or leave out/imply the unimportant ones. It isn’t really an issue though because I am still considered the best Q in Carpex (In fact, Ma Bell has even taken me aside a number of times and offered to pay for me to attend an elite Q school called Camp Gladiator for the next few years.) But there is always room for improvement so YHC thought long and hard about how to deal with all of these ’numbers’. [Read More]

A lot of chatter the night before about the amount of chatter coming YHC’s way this morning. Had a nice little vanilla workout planned, but the return of our brother Crimson pulled big crowd, and most of them are big talkers. Modify as needed has a new meaning. Warm-Up Mosey over to the church entrance and circle up for side straddle hops, hillbillies (cause we’re in Apex), Sir Fazios and cotton pickers. [Read More]

It was a beautiful morning for work out that scored a 9/10 on the Cataract’s Scale of Workouts. I am truly humbled by that score and will strive for the perfect score soon. 25 HIMs showed up for a fun time at the Peak of Good Living’s best down town park.

Buenos Dias, Hermanos. When it was announced that Liverpool and Water Wings would share their Chimbote, Peru (or is it Chipotle…) story with the Pax at a bread braking and the Q sheet was WIDE FREAKING OPEN for that day, YHC had to jump on it. Knowing we’d have a squad on hand, I was extra excited (hard to believe I know) for this one. With a resounding Yooooooooooooo at 0544, we got ready to roll out. [Read More]

11 pax, including YHC, arrived on time for the Bounty Hunters beatdown. Some may have peaked out the window prior to finalize their decision, but alas, they took that DRP and showed. It was just your normal average beatdown. We got in about 2.5 miles, we did some basic exercises including lots of merkins. We were safe, we stayed together, we mumbled when QIC said things like, “ready, go” instead of “Exercise!

I don’t mind cold weather so long as I don’t have to scrap frost off my windshield. What does that have to do with the workout? Nothing, except that it was cold. It was cold until we got going. But how far were we going? All the way to CC Jones park. This is great little park for both workouts and for the family. Definitely recommend taking the family there if you are in the area.
