On the last Monday in September in 2014, YHC was privileged to be an FNG at an A-Team workout. Today, YHC took the opportunity of his anniversary to repeat his inaugural F3 workout, this time as the Q, just as I did on the last Monday in September 2015, 2016 and 2017. Following the first time I participated in this workout (under the leadership of Denali), I couldn’t raise my arms above my head for 3 days and couldn’t walk properly for 6 days. [Read More]

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.

Another beautiful evening in downtown Cary. YHC is here, Speed Racer is here, Traffic Cone is here…wait, who’s that? Is it? Can it be? It’s Napster, our brother from F3Denver coming home for a visit.

The Thang Mosey over to the bank and grab some bench for irkins, dips, derkins and ALRSUs. [Read More]

A big downpour in downtown Cary was not enough to keep five waterbugs away from Rush Hour. Warm-Up Brisk walk over to the far side of the pocket park for imperial walkers, Sir Fazios, mountain climbers, merkins, squats and cotton pickers. The Thang Brisk walk to the middle of the pocket park, then bear crawl to the side with the wall for irkins, ALRSUs, dips, ALRSUs and derkins. Bear crawl back to the middle for LBCs, American hammers, Homer-to-Marge, low slow flutters and dying cock-a-roaches. [Read More]

LABOR DAY weekend … the official end of summer. Most kids are back in school and the days are turning cooler, a little. There was plenty of heat at AO Phoenix for starting off the LABOR DAY weekend right. Yogi had locked in the Q at Phoenix for today, but he handed it off to YHC during the week. I wanted to EH a HIM to co-Q, so new guys will keep stepping up and Q’ing. [Read More]
