Standing EC run 0510 with Hermes, Oofta, Chipper, Wonderbread, Chanticleer, Michelob, Denali and YHC. No FNGs so No disclaimer was given by YHC. Term Paper however gave it while Moseying to the warm-up and then quickly sent a harshly worded e-mail to Ma Bell. **Warm-Up **Good Morning, Windmill, Steve Earle, Arm Circles, Merkins Mosey to Baseball Field **Thang One **Seven of Diamonds - Starting at Home plate, mosey to right field perform 7 of called exercise, mosey to left field repeat 7 of exercise, mosey to home plate, repeat 7 of exercise, bear crawl to 2nd base, sprint to center field fence, perform 7 IC count Aussie Mnt.

I see what you’re trying to do, Cally, and I don’t need to explain the burpee hill race. My crew DOMINATED IT. It sucked, yes. But we did it because: The Q said to do it and you do what the Q says. Good leadership I guess. It sucked. Usually things that suck are hard. We wanted to better ourselves. Back in Black is better than BO. (Don’t ask Term Paper or Jiggly Puff though) The Burpee Hill Race: [Read More]

With the Tobacco Road Half and Full Marathon approaching, the pax joined for what has quickly become an annual tradition… well at least for this second year in-a-row… a long ATT run followed by top-notch fellowship in the parking lot centered around the all-time champion of breakfast meats, BACON. Distances varied between 5-16 (based on YHC’s count), with the majority of pax locking in on that 10-mile distance. Dang near purrfect with the race coming up in 10 days. [Read More]

AO: Slippery When Wet QIC: Staubach 18 Wonderful Pax learned a valuable life lesson today. Preparation and practice is the key to success. I entered the the morning well rested with a perfectly timed and orchestrated plan that both started and ended on time. Many Pax will say Staubach got back from Atlanta very late, had less than 3 hours of sleep and had over 2 hours of exercises planned for the 45 minute time slot…. [Read More]

Or rather Partner Rocks - but had to come some title and a corresponding pic. Beautiful crisp morning and we are 20 strong. Disclaimer given Warm Up Mozy through some cars to alternative parking lot SSH x 15 Hillbillies x 10 GM x 7 Merkins IC x 10 Thang 1 Partner up with and grab 1 good size rock. We stopped 4 times, with one partner doing rock work and the other an exercise, all in cadence and then swap rock [Read More]

3 for EC: Disco Duck, Term Paper, and YHC Honeycomb advised his FNG would be several minutes late, so we proceeded with the Pledge of Allegiance and then off to the first parking lot to warm up. SSH, Imperial walker, good morning, cotton picker. Recover and head back to the gate to pick up Honeycomb, Disco Duck and FNG. 10 burpees and hill billys. Recover, share disclaimer, head off into the park.

Just a bit moist & slippery – maybe it’s the perfect conditions for Slippery When Wet…. Wow – pulling in the parking lot, Flacco’s light bar blinded & spotted a few good men already there….. & then they just kept streaming in via car, EC run, or rescue boat it seems…. FNG was briefed on the F3 disclaimer 1:1 – he & his dad in for the weekend up from Florida with other family to support Liverpool. [Read More]

F3 Carpex is in a great spot. I don’t mean location. F3 Carpex is healthy and growing. In some ways it seems like our growth is limitless. I cannot begin to imagine how many AOs there will be five years from now. Many AOs, on a nice morning, will have well over 20 guys post. The energy is high, the mumble chatter is relentless. But I was reminded this morning of how a small group of men can be a refreshing change. [Read More]

As YHC was making my way around the gathering PAX, I noticed that several of them were noticeably away from the shovel flag, like they wanted to leave or something. Whatever. You Vesperers just go do your thing. I’ll take the small but mighty group and go do, oh I don’t know…a bootcamp. Here’s what we did: Warmup Jog up Maury O’Dell and to the other end of Bond Park Drive (I think it is) for: [Read More]

‘Twas a lovely morning on the border of Cary and Apex, where Miss Laura Duncan once cooked some chard on a stone. 18 men gathered to pay tribute to the Millennial generation with a goal of 2000-count exercises: 1000 reps and 1000 meters of running. Dodging the expected deluge of rain, we had a fine time in the cool, soggy gloom…one might even say “moist.” YHC had found the Millennial workout on the Exicon and thought it would be a great way to challenge the PAX to a well-rounded beatdown.
