When Disco Duck’s call went out to the PAX due to a sparsely populated Q Sheet, YHC jumped in on a couple, including today’s Vesper. Yesterday’s FOD-a-ganza Qed by Shut-E inspired my route selection for today, only the Vesper crowd wants a little more than a quarter mile shindig I’m told. You can see the details in the images below, including the fact that Coney pushed me for a sub-8-minute mile in the last 1.

I got a tip from my coworker that the park was closed this week. A quick check of the park’s facebook page, yeah it has a facebook page, and I knew we needed an alternate location. The back of the Lowes parking lot will work. I didn’t foresee the confusion on the location but Joe Smith is a lawyer so that might be the problem. I showed up and Hermes was already there and Ollie was directing people to our location. [Read More]

On a delightfully warm, yet misty morning, 14 PAX rolled into the gloom hoping to check the Kryptonite box for what would be an easy Ma Bell workout (at least that’s what Hermes said). ‘Twas not to be. At 0530 - OK, 05:30:20 seconds. Come on fancy watch, catch a GPS signal already! - we rolled on. As per normal, #15 (I’ll let you guess who that was) came in on 2 wheels as we ran (at a pretty good clip, mind you) around the parking lot onto the greenway toward the lake and back around to the parking lot for [Read More]

Well there were about 8 or 9 HC’s on the Slack channel for the pre-blasts. Turns out we had 23 run the 10.7 miles for The Maynard or as our Nantan apparently wants to call it: The May May. We also had 1 legendary servant leader: Shut-in volunteering to wash our feet, I mean serve as our course manager/swag waggon/emotional support/cooler retriever/safety official/cheerleader/mentor/and all around High Impact Man! If you are not sharpened by his Iron then you are doing it wrong. [Read More]

Finally got to Q the AO known as Kryptonite, which is listed on the F3Carpex site as “high tempo”. That being said, it has always been unclear to me what “high tempo” exactly means in a F3 workout. Oh, YHC has been to quite a few of “high tempo” F3 workouts, including Kryptonite and F3 Raleigh’s Whiplash. Yes, the aforementioned “high tempo” workouts are without question more physically straining, but are they really high tempo?

The title will make sense, eventually… There was chatter of a TTTuesday, so YHC broke out his middle school basketball jersey. Hmmmmm, fits well. Me thinks we wore them baggie… or was I beefy… either way. 18 wide-eyed pax showed up for a rain beatdown w/ 3 FNG’s taboot. After a quick disclaimer, we’re off. Warm up: Mosey to the upper lot Good mornings SSH Ma Bell Merkins (Ma Bell not present) Sir Fazio fronty and backy Merkins again, why the heck not Hold it… Mountain Climbers I’m stealing this from Texas Ranger, to the parking spaces for a rolling 4-pack (as called by the PAX) of Curb Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Plank Jacks, and Quick Feet (x10 each) Thang 1: [Read More]

When: January 19th, 2018 QIC: Earhart The PAX: 187, Pikachu, Lucky Charms, DoubleD, Term Paper, Disco Duck, Banjo, Shut-In, Banana Seat, Puddles, Slide Rule, Dog Pound, Dead Bolt, Buford, R22, Gump, Webex, Draper, Dauber, Brexit, Nemo, YHC Earhart It’s was icy, the roads were questionable, the radio news programs were all doom and gloom, and YHC was up early determined to represent our Carpex brothers in South Wake. I headed out from Apex, driving carefully, minding my lanes and looking for that elusive black ice, but, the path to Cletus turned out to be fine and YHC had no issues getting to the AO, outside the 6 foot high speed breakers.
