Or as Frisco, said, YHC left Carpex for a younger, hotter region Q. When I saw the Q swap sheet go up, I jumped on A-Team, as it was a place I had not Q’s when I was working out with Carpex and a favorite. I knew it was going to be a big crowd, and it was. I was excited to get going, so YHC forgot to check for FNG’s. [Read More]

Closing out Claymore for 2019

A small but spirited group gathered for the last Carpex limited-run workout of 2019 at Claymore. Conditions were near perfect, with temps in the mid-40’s and dry conditions. Half Pike led us in the pledge and we went off for a stroll around the pickle. Leprechaun and Half Pike took off at top speed until they realized that they didn’t know where we would wind up. We wound our way back to the flag for some warmups: [Read More]

Leg Day

One of the things I am known for is being a tougher Q than Prodigal. Actually that is true for all the P-named Qs: Parker, PBX, Pierogi, Pa Bell, Pow Pow, PWERTY, Pisco Puck, Pater Wings, Pquatter… The list goes on and on. So when I Q I know there is a certain standard I need to shoot for to inspire those guys. Claymore on Christmas Eve was originally supposed to be Q-ed by Pred Pryder. [Read More]

Double Your Pleasure with Double 7s Doubled

Two years ago I was introduced to F3 and it has become one of the top 10 most impactful relationships on my life to include all people and organizations I have been a part of. You HIM have encouraged and spurred me on to be more in all three Fs than I could have ever imagined becoming. It is with a heart of gratitude that I embark on this week of 7 Qs as I hope to give back to those who have given to me and encourage those who are just beginning their f3 journey. [Read More]

Diamonds Are Forever … or Until You Need a Bathroom Break By the time YHC arrived on the scene we already had a police cruiser observing from a distance in the parking lot. The Commish told him something that apparently made him believe we posed no threat, so he eventually left without hitting the siren. All license plates are no doubt now on a watchlist, so score one for the PAX who parked offsite and ran it in. [Read More]

Redemption

So it was a day to redeem myself for my less than strong Q at Hells Bells the previous day. The workout was well designed—maybe the best is Carpex’s history—but I had not considered the effects of the Odyssey on my body. 5:45: We had an FNG (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it) so I rattled off the disclaimer (“we won’t leave you where we found you, but we will leave you in a well lit area.
