AO: Cougar Town
Workout Date: 07/27/21
Most of my birthday Qs this week are in Carpex as I work toward my goal of Qing all of Wake County. I slept too late for the advertised slow mosey (slowzy), but I did have enough time to run around the AO and scope things out.
Warm Up:
State the mission, check for FNGs(0), and give the disclaimer.
Pledge of Allegiance
Mosey around the school to warm up.

AO: Wild Wild West
Workout Date: 07/26/21
YHC is starting off my birthday Q week at Wild Wild West. I was inspired with a workout variation last night, but with only eight PAX for the workout, I decided to shelve it for later. PAX might see it at Ground Pounder on Saturday.
Warm Up:
State the mission, check for FNGs(0), and give the disclaimer.
Pledge of Allegiance
Mosey to the other end of the parking lot for warm ups

AO: Field of Dreams
Workout Date: 07/13/21
I had some workout ideas in my head when I pulled into Field of Dreams, but those plans were mostly dashed when I discovered the baseball fields and the walkways between them were locked off. I did a quick mosey to get some new ideas, entertaining some mumble chatter from Banjo as he warmed up on the playground. I really wanted to avoid Rack Em Stack Em since I’ve called it quite a bit recently, but it worked out so well on the turf soccer field at Dante’s Peak, and the soccer field at FoD was open.

AO: Dante’s Peak
Workout Date: 07/02/21
When scoping out my Q, I quickly recognized Apex Nature Park from my Piranha Park Q. Excited for another visit, I pulled up to the park entrance just before 0540 to find the parking lot gate closed and no cars in sight. Was I at the wrong park? I tried to pull up f3carpex.com on my phone, but it wasn’t loading. In a decent panic, I drove back the way I came on Evans.

AO: Back In Black
Workout Date: 07/01/21
My sixty-ninth Q of the year was the prior Friday at Boiler Room, but that won’t stop me from repeating the joke for my sixty-ninth challenge Q today. Nice.
BIB starts surprisingly early (0515), and YHC pulled into the Koka Booth lot just in time to catch Cauliflower and Adjacent for the prerun. I laced up and we were off on a two mile loop where we saw lots of wildlife (rabbits, a bat, maybe a mouse?

AO: Disturbing The Peace

After checking out backblasts and Google Maps, YHC posted for the prerun to get a final feel for the AO. We got in a surprising (to me) three miles.

AO: M.A.S.H.
Workout Date: 06/18/21
I’ve spent way too much time trying to find some M.A.S.H.-related themes for this backblast, and sorry, boys, it ain’t happening.
This is my fourth Q of the week, and M.A.S.H.’s late start (on a Friday!) was right up my alley this morning. I set my alarm for thirty minutes later and still moved it another thirty minutes when I woke in the middle of the night.

AO: Wolverine
Workout Date: 06/14/21
YHC had some ideas for today, but when site Q Build-a-Bear reached out about a prerun and/or AO overview, I took him up on the offer. I was on the fence about doing the Number of the Beast again. I didn’t want to repeat myself if any Phoenix PAX showed, and I had considered bringing back Rack Em Stack Em. Should we stay in the park, or head over to Davis Drive Middle?

AO: Phoenix
Workout Date: 06/12/21
YHC has posted Phoenix (or maybe it was Werewolf), but it has obviously been a while. The starting parking lot was a lot smaller than I remembered and there were a large number of PAX, including three FNGs. Time to start modifying the plan.
Warm Up:
State the mission, check for FNGs (3), and give the disclaimer
