A couple of months ago YHC thought it was only right to honor the Carpex tradition of Qing on your Birthday, so I signed up for a Friday, July 6th Q at the infamous Slippery When Wet. Why is it infamous? Well, legend has it that back in the 80s Bon Jovi’s tour bus broke down as it was passing through Cary in the early morning hours. Back then, Cary was just a zygote that would later develop into the boisterous town we now know.

13 HIMs (most of them with shoes) met for a high-tempo beatdown at the Koka Booth Amphitheater. A handful of the pax had just spent an awesome weekend camping with the 2.0’s at Hanging Rock State Park and had some extra calories to burn off. After brief mumblechatter and confirming all Pax had shoes, we set out…. Quick jog around the lot to pick up last arrival and avoid penalty Burpees, then across Regency for some Warm-arama: [Read More]

YHC pulled into the parking lot of North Cary Park a little early this morning, and thought about how Danger Zone is the only AO in Carpex that never has an EC pre-run. As that thought entered my mind, I saw Pet Sounds heading out for a solo warm-up run. Warm-Up Mosey around the pickle and circle up for imperial walkers, Sir Fazios, cotton pickers and side straddle hops. The Thang [Read More]
