F3 #NoOyo

One day after a heavy morning across Carpex and F3 Nation c/o #F3MentalBattle, YHC thought the pax needed some good ole fashioned BO fellowship. But, before that 3 (YHC, Burt and Old Maid) for EC around DTC, and wait a 4th arrives at the end as well. What up, Term Paper? As for the ME, we set out to do some Strava art (and YHC got the pax in on it early… smart strategy). [Read More]

Preparing for a Bombing Run ... Bombs Away!!!

Date: 3/26 QIC: WWW AO: Claymore PAX: Bo Jackson, Dice, Ezekiel, Leprechaun, Pickles, Skipper, Press On, WWW The toughest part about wanting to Q every week is not being predictable. With that said, it’s fun combing through the Exicon to find some new workouts and exercises. There are so many choices to choose from and many ways to create a devilish routine. I got the though of creating a different workout. [Read More]

Just in Time Training

I still don’t wear a watch during these workouts. While it’s always good to see Biner, unless he’s Qing of course (then you just have to channel your inner Spartan warrior), he provided the necessary time checks along the way during this particularly time sensitive workout. It was only time sensitive in that we were traveling a long way from the flag and everyone likes arrive home on time. 17 showed, 2 kept Sooey company as he continues his recovery walks, so 14 of launch for a trip around the Apex Lake.

Quando Quando Quando

Hermes 3rd f3aversary. Danger Zone. A perfect 43 degrees. Full moon. What’s not to love? 13 of the strongest ever to grace the Carpex gloom showed up to keep Danger Zone great. Former site Qs such as Burt, Largemouth, and Callahan were not among them. Warmup 1½ times around the original pickle and circle up for an arm circle variety pack - regular, overhead, out front. Mumblechatter may have been at an all-time high at this point. [Read More]

Please & Thank You

While the weather certainly could have been better, I thoroughly enjoyed a tight group of very pleasant seniors – if the grey hair present was any indication, there was plenty of wisdom to be shared! As 5:45 rolled in the rain continued to fall – no FNGs, only revealed familiar faces. The group was informed that this is F3 – modify as necessary! Started with the Pledge & moseyed behind the bank for….

Start Late, Finish Early

4am. 10 month old is up and Daddy Dooty begins. Roughly 510, YHC sneeks out of nursery, dresses and hits the door in hopes to make the 520 pre run. As I come flying in, I see an empty parking lot. Luckily, Denali arrives a few min later and we take off on a leisurely stroll through Cary’s finest back roads. 542, we both realize we are going to be late getting back. [Read More]

Twas a starry night in the gloom which was ideal to bring on some Thunderstruck!

Date: 3/18/2019 QIC: WWW AO: A Team PAX: 15 For some reason, Sky Q forgot to turn on the heater. Albeit being a crisp / brisk morning, it was a blessing to be out there leading the PAX in the workout. Sooey graced us with his presence to get his walk in. Sooey is da Man because he did not wait long to get back out in the gloom. There is always one or two PAX that would not mind taking a walk with him. [Read More]

I Just Googled “Most Repetitive Songs”

Pre-Blast 11 rocked out at #ao-thurs-bo. There was some discussion about Puck’s ‘stache. @Burt has an off-site meeting today at 2:30. To prepare for today, YHC just Googled “Most Repetitive Songs” The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag Run to the CFB parking lot. Circle up for: Good Mornings, Windmills, Sir Fazio Series, Calf Stretches, Diamond and WG Merkins. Run to the end of the lot and back. The Thangs [Read More]

Bartmanniversary IV

23 PAX turned out this fine morning to help YHC celebrate four years of gloom. That’s right, this week marks 48 months of getting after it, and it’s as if A-Team hasn’t changed a bit. PAX in the low 20’s, rain more often than it should, and a bunch of go-getters ready to hit it. A 2-mile EC led by Disco was the perfect apertif. Mosey to the front parking lot and circle up. [Read More]

BO BB 3/7/19: Vanilla Just Tastes Better

15 PAX entered the gloom on a 40-something degree morning in downtown Cary. A couple guys did EC - you know who you are. By the grace of the SkyQ, one of the BO twitterkeepers tweeted out that YHC was the Q for the week. YHC may or may not have remembered that. (I didn’t) In light of that, I jokingly asked @shutincarpex what he was planning to do for his Q down the road, and like a good PAX, he DM’d me his pre-blast. [Read More]
