With all the spirit and having experienced the 1776 beatdown personally, I felt one more inspirational workout was due to the PAX. With everyone there on a hot and muggy morning, we head out running out and back, circling around the Nan-tan for the first group of exercises and: Warm Up 10 Good Mornings 20 Imperial Walkers 20 Variable Side Straddle Hops 15 Elevated Heel Raises 15 Mountain Climbers 15 Elevated Heel Raises [Read More]

Originally planned this workout for my July 4th Q at FOD until that got hijacked. Thus the 4 theme. Fortoenately, this weeks BO Q became available at the last minute due to an unfortoenate event. Anyways, 14 men showed up for this week’s BO Q. No FNGs, no Burt, 5 respects and 3 hates. WARM UP Jog down to the fountain and circle up 20 SSH, 10 GMs, 15 PJs, 10 mountain climbers Jog to the lower field at Cary Elementary THANG x 4 [Read More]

In honor of this Carpex’ declaration of independence this year from F3 Raleigh, we hijacked the nation’s birthday…no this was about America. And Independence. And Revolution. And Democracy. And Old Glory. And rockets red glare. And Freedom. And moon shots. And heroes. And Bald Eagles. And the Greatest Got Dang country in the world! And it all started in 1776. So 35 of Carpex’ and 2 of F3 Raleigh’s finest did this. [Read More]

Dozens of PAX gathered on the grounds of Bond Park this morning for the second installment of YHC’s Q-o-Rama. Most were unaware that between Rip Tide’s being, in, out, in, out, in, and then out again of the Topsail convergence, YHC had pre-blasted a clear clue to today’s theme: Fa la la la la, la la la la. Warmup: SSH and jog to the field Thang: Christmas in June (because YHC is effing busy come July), Days 1-12, and then Days 12-1, all single count (because YHC is cheap) [Read More]

25 PAX showed for my first Q in a while. YHC is used to being avoided and “Q Shopped” with all the new AOs and multiple options per day. Before this, it was just fartsacking. Nothing new………..so I was delighted to see 48 eyeballs, at least 18 which I have never seen. With my boy McCants wrecking folks over at FWD, YHC was not to be outdone. Warm-up - Jog uphill, all the way to the top parking lot. [Read More]

A large crowd gathered in the drizzly gloom. It was as if God was crying over the tragic death of our F3 Lexington brother, Cheech. At 0545, we gathered around the shovel flag and bowed our heads for a moment of silent prayer in his remembrance. Then - as I’m sure Cheech would have wanted - off we went. To the back, past Cheddar Bo shed, around the cul-de-sac, and back toward the shovel flag to the opening in the fence to the football fields. [Read More]

13 PAX circled up on a perfect morning. Sun was shining, shovelflag was planted, and the PAX were ready. (disclaimer: this workout happened 7 days ago. My memory is very rusty, so what follows is probably only about 70% accurate) WARM UP Jog over to Booty Sea for Good Mornings, SSH, Merkins, Imperial Walkers, then jog to the Taipai 101 lot for… THE THANG Two groups, one bear crawls to the end of the lot, second group squat hold.

60 Dads And 2.0s Posted for the First 2017 F3 Dads [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxtRgs-zGws?rel=0] YHC didn’t know what to expect when it was preblasted out to have an F3 Dads event in Carpex. Even leading up to final prep last night after the wicked thunderstorm (making a few audibles) I had ballparked it at about 24-30 total… Shows how much I know! It was AWE - SOME! I’m so proud to be a part of this group of F3 PAX. [Read More]

June 12, 2017 The Twitter machine for today’s FOD workout kicked off early yesterday with a PBX call out for deliverance. Funny how karma works. YHC played along and immediately took the Q spot at #F3RushHour, dueling Banjo Qs in one day. Yes it is time for deliverance. The line has been drawn between the sedate city lifestyle and the unpredictability of the rural margin. Deadly weapons remained at home but the dueling Banjo Qs began in earnest at FOD. [Read More]
