Chilly Mini-Cooper

 Posted on October 25, 2018  |  2 minutes  |  342 words  |  

I have to admin it was quite chilly this morning but 12 PAX braved the colder temperatures to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the finest site in NW Cary on Thursday. I am sure the PAX would have preferred Clementine’s Q but since he had an unfortunate accident last weekend on the Odyssey YHC took over the lead spot. Get better soon buddy! We all arrived early so it was tempting to take off before 5:45 but I thought Trike might come in on two wheels but he never showed up so off we went. [Read More]

It wasn’t my intention of running a Kryptonite-style workout the day before Odyssey but from the mumble chatter, that’s what it turned out to be. I debated what I should do for today’s Q and what I didn’t want to be sore tomorrow, so I was hoping this was the right choice. According to some, I failed. PAX of 1 (YHC) for an EC run PAX of 4 for EC pull-ups. [Read More]

YHC was up early this morning, looking forward to a Beaker Beatdown. Unfortunately Beaker was under the weather and needed someone to pick up his Q, and since YHC was the only other person awake at 4 AM, it was all mine. Beaker’s Back-up’s Beginnings (The Warm-up) Mosey over to the parking lot next to the hill and circle up for side straddle hops, cotton pickers, hillbillies, copperhead merkins and copperhead squats.

15 pax joined me this fine morning for a lesson in good form. YHC had advertised a mentoring or on the job training for our VQs to prepare for their big week next week. At 5:45:00 we were off. Run to end of parking lot and circle up. Ask pax what we forgot and they correctly identied missing disclaimer and FNG check. YHC was feeling we were off to a good start! [Read More]

Milk Run

33 Pax gathered to celebrate YHC’s 35th birthday… well actually, they gathered to watch what would happen when Frisco drank a half gallon of milk prior to the beatdown. Banjo joined Frisco in the lactose challenge. Surprisingly, they were able to keep it all down during the workout. Pickles and Parker got in some EC merkins and several pax got in an EC fellowship run with Half. Once the new start time of 0530 rolled around, we were off! [Read More]

I went to Q school a couple of weeks ago. Since I am out of town and will miss the start of VQ week I decided to step up early and get this thang done. In my posts leading up to this I took lots of mental notes. Most of them were forgotten before the first exercise (do you really have to say ‘Recover’?). Thanks to those who helped with time keeping as my FitBit bit it this morning. [Read More]

Prop-less. Vanilla.

 Posted on October 2, 2018  |  4 minutes  |  712 words  |  

Forget bananas, sprinkles, waffle cones, sauces (chocolate, caramel, or Nutella). Not even whipped cream or a cherry. Just a 2.5 gallon bucket of store-brand vanilla. After Parker needled me yesterday at Wolverine for bringing the sled (“I shouldn’t have been surprised that there was a sled hidden in the dark-er part of the AO, you always use props”…or something like that), I decided today would be just me, the PAX, and the AO.

In the fourth and final installment of Flaccoversary Week 2018, YHC’s eyes were a little bigger than his stomach. We stepped up to a buffet of Wolverines and put a few more on our plate than we could stomach. More on that later, for now you just need to know that 16 HIM gathered at Bond Park ready to cap the week with a Flacco-style beatdown. Which is sure to include some yoga. [Read More]

Off The Books Phoenix

 Posted on September 24, 2018  |  2 minutes  |  289 words  |  

YHC put a call out on the slackline to pax with shorties doing Saturday school and in need of an earlier Phoenix start. 5 rang the bell… Technically the title to this backblast doesn’t work because by writing a backblast it then, by definition, is In The Books. We won’t worry about that though. YHC probably wouldn’t have written this but was persuaded by the BBBB (BackBlast Boy Band) “Frisco n’ Disco”.

A Day That Will Live In Infamy

 Posted on September 22, 2018  |  9 minutes  |  1907 words  |  

Word Count: Two of Burt’s morning “ablutions” When Hello Kitty put out the call for someone to cover DZ I was on-the-fence about taking it. It was Theismann’s birthday Q week and there had been abysmal turnout the previous four days–maybe 2 or 3 people on average and only those because they couldn’t get a spot in a clown car to another AO. But then after agonizing over it for a while I remembered great Q’s have to make hard choices so I decided to sacrifice Theismann’s feelings for the greater good.
