18 Pax made it out to Hunter Street Park for a lovely 74 degree and 94 percent humid morning. Slack chatter was looking for an unfriendly BRR beatdown. Lots of mileage was logged yesterday so YHC agreed. See, not always Angry Shutty. Sometimes Very Accomodating Shutty. Here’s what went down after the 0545 disclaimer and Shut-In Shignature warmup… Thang 1: Plank-o-rama First pax took a lap around the soccer field fence and circled back up at the skate park.

YHC has been out of Carpex for the past few days exploring F3 out west in St. Louis and was really looking forward to being back home. Since there isn’t much to do outside of work when traveling YHC was advertising the upcoming beat down all week on slack. And let’s just say that the adverting brought out the numbers - 32 PAX joined my in south Carpex on this fine Friday morning. [Read More]

Given the significance of the concept of a Sad Clown in the F3 universe, one could think the name Flying Circus to be a bit, well, curious. Given the madness that went down at this AO on Thursday, August 23, 2018, I think the name fits. 18 HIM pledged their allegiance to the flag, and then moseyed to the basketball courts. Warm Up Good Mornings, nice and slow 2 x FNGs show up 10 Burpees OYO Hill Billies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson arms: Circles front and backwards like Sir Fazio, except one arm at a time. [Read More]

YHC/QIC saw a post yesterday by Pet Sounds to fartsack today due to some feet issues (plantar fasciitis). I know what that feels like because I had it in the past and it royally sucked. I thank God each day I do not have to deal with it any more. I decided to start a thread with Pet Sounds’ post about seeing if he wanted to do an #ao-travel-ir-bruisers workout at #ao-Thur-flyingcircus. [Read More]

Fresh off my first merlot induction at BO, YHC accepted the challenge to deliver a tough workout at the great AO, Tortoises. With little buzz and marketing, 20 other HIM wanted to see as well. Or maybe it was the EC Pull-Ups. Yeah, probably the ECPs. Also, there were another 5 who joined in for the traveling IR Bruisers AO for a total of 26. Add in the 3 young men shooting ball, and the place was poppin’! [Read More]

Pre-Blast 23 HIM converged at FMJ for some work. 9 for IR Bruisers. Burbeez are the BEST stretch. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag Mixed run around the school, paint the lines. Circle up for: 50 Burbeez. Run to Hill #1, discover the Pain Stix. The Thang****s 7s on the hill - Worst Burbee Evers at the top (a Burbee with a Pain Stick Military Press) and Pain Stick V-Ups at the bottom. [Read More]

First off, YHC is grateful for being introduced to F3 by my man Flacco and to being so warmly received by each & every Carpex HIM I’ve encountered. I sure am enjoying my F1’s & actually look forward to collecting in the gloom & getting the sweat flowing with this fine group. I’ve been able to participate in a couple F2 & F3 events as well & will be active here – Someone said F3 is kind of like a cult, but I disagree – this is a high-quality fraternity with only the good attributes: make each other better (HIMs) via challenge & encouragement, serve to improve the communities we live in, & have some damn fun along the way.

23 HIMs braved the sticky gloom to re-discover what makes Dante’s Peak the PREMIER site on Fridays in Apex. No new stuff, all vanilla. Just pretend those turf fields aren’t even there. 21 HIMs pledged allegiance and off we go. Warm Up 5 Burpees OYO SSHs Trike shows up at 5:46, so 5 burpees OYO Cotton pickers Beetle rolls in at 5:47, so 5 burpees OYO Good Mornings, Sir Fazio, Hill Billies Mosey to the top of the hill, wake up Monkey Nut’s neighbors with 5 squats.
