Pre-Blast 10 HIM for the first of 19 Murphs (in 2019) at BH. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the…the site Q didn’t bring out the flag so it wouldn’t get wet?! 10 penalty burpees.

We also did a few GMs. The Thang Do a Murph (run to Baucom Elem. [Read More]

Shortcut to the Playground

AO: Bounty Hunters After two plus weeks away from F3 (travel and holidays) it was more than time to hit it hard. Anticipating this situation weeks prior, YHC signed up for a lonely slot on the Bounty Hunter Q-sheet…2 days after Christmas. It was more than worth it. Called an EC 2.5 miler, fellowship pace, first at 0515, only to be politely corrected by Sub, reminding of the 0530 workout start time…revised it to 0500 and off we went: YHC, Sub and Build-a-Bear, for a friendly jog around the block, 11 other HIMs joining on time (well, all except for Shut-in, who just may have been late).

Q What You Hate

This Christmas Eve morning beatdown and 2ndF that followed was one of the most enjoyable mornings YHC has had over the past (almost) 4 years! Must be the advent season! After a shoutout by Disco Duck on Slack, YHC went to work planning this beatdown (circa 1930 the night before). 23 Pax in all. Lots came stampeding in from the EC run. YHC had no gloves (because YHC was planning to fartsack being out in Durham at his father in law’s for Christmas) [Read More]

This Is 40

PAX Clementine, Disco Duck, Duce, Dust Bowl, Freebird, Hansen, Hotty Toddy, Mohawk, One Four, Passport, Pivot, Puddles, Revere, Rooney, Snapper, Sub, Two Factor This was YHC’s second Q ever and first time keeping the site flag safe (thanks for trusting me Red Ryder)! This was my birthday Q and turned 40 on 12/22. Good times. It was a beautiful morning and was quickly called out by the PAX that I overdressed.

Just Don't Re-name Me Tonya Harding

Anyone who as joined me on one of my Qs knows that if I do anything well it is that I expose the PAX to a few new exercises whether I make them up and tag them with a silly name (Drunken Snow-angel) or, as often is the case, dive deep into the Exicon to tap into the plethora of experience shared by F3 Nation. Today was no exception as I pulled out some of my favorites and added some of the lesser known as well. [Read More]

1stF #2 of 6 BD & F3’versary Q-week: Courir le Cornichon with some stuff in between

As I arrived at the Claymore, I thought I was going to be the first one there. I was wrong, Disco Duck was waiting. I didn’t just pull into the parking spot. I drove around the AO to get the lay of the land. DD gave me a perturbed look wondering what the hell is WWW doing. There is a method to my madness. As I drove around, all I can see is water everywhere … there was not a single dry spot.

Dude Solutions

Although it was the earliest AO on the schedule for the day, the forecast said it was not the coldest at the start. So we had that going for us. And a quick shout out to Hermes who was so concerned that I was lost as I drove past the parking lot to scout out a location, that he walked up the hill to the road to make sure I made it back safe and on-time.

The Princess Bride

Today the brute squad assembled early in the fields of Florin to enjoy a workout that would include Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles. However the pax wasn’t impressed and responded. “Doesn’t sound too bad. I’ll try to stay awake”, “Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming” dread pirate pivot answered back…. A quick warm-up lap around the parking lot and then circle up to meet the characters [Read More]

Backblast

Is it gonna rain, or isn’t it. Last night Steve said it was likely to rain. This morning, he’s saying it won’t. 17, er, 18 HIMs braved the uncertainty that is the iPhone weather app and posted on a near-perfect 50 degree November morning. First exercise, the Pledge of Allegiance Warm Up Pet Sounds arrives. Slow count Good Mornings, Sir Fazio arm circles, overhead claps, Steve Earles, Cotton Pickers, and Merkins (on my down AND up).
