Why run when you can bear crawl....

When @Sooey proposed the idea of YHC taking on the open Q spot at Tortioses, the initial thought was “what about this nagging, lingering knee injury”. The closer it got to Wednesday, YHC jumped in “just because”. The spousal unit, aka the M, said “You complain constantly about your knee at home and you are going to Q? What are you thinking? Why are you doing this?” YHC had no viable response other than “just because @Sooey asked me to”… It was going to be a knee friendly workout to not cause further damage. [Read More]

The S.S. Schlitz's One hour tour...

As YHC’s quest to complete more of the 2020 Carpex challenge continues, it was time to take a turn at the Phoenix Q. Bond Park is such a large AO, with so many options, I wanted to take the Pax on a tour of some of the typical stops along a Phoenix/SNS beatdown. YHC and the Triplest of Lindy’s for a nice, balmy 3 mile EC run. Here’s what went down: [Read More]

Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery

So it was a week ago that I was reminded of one of my favorite COT traditions, the dipping of the feet in the fountain after Rush Hour. So it inspired me to Q tonight’s edition. Yes, it was a boot camp. It had been a second since I had Q’ed anything other than a ruck, so I thought to myself, what would Frisco do? Some of you might remember, maybe about a year ago, Frisco decided to Q every day for a week. [Read More]

When Sargent Squatter Came to T2I

Seeing Ausfahrt you might think “Wow, that guy is so lazy, he never runs anywhere”. But while lazy may be true for his personal hygene when it comes to working out the guy is tough as nails. Some of the newer guys may not know his story. Not long ago he was riding his motorcycle when he was hit by a truck (I think it was a half-ton truck, too! [Read More]

41

Last year I was out of town on my birthday, so this year I planned early and signed up for the Q slot for A-Team months ago. Little did I know how different the world would be over the past few months. I am thankful we are able to get out each morning, support each other, and move our bodies! Here is what went down today: Arrived a bit early, Crimson was complaining that I had him leave a few minutes earlier than normal but it was great to meet the PAX as the arrived. [Read More]

Last one at 40!

YHC had originally signed Two Factor up to Q this morning, but he was still recovering from his back hurting so it was only appropriate for YHC to lead. Today was my last F3 workout in my 40s since my birthday is right around the corner. Without a great plan in mind for today, it worked out pretty well. Everyone seemed to get their money’s worth! Gather at the flag, disclaimer for the FNG, quick pledge, and off we go! [Read More]

Second Verse Same as the First

As Pickles always says “Preparation H is key”. So to impress my junior site Q I made sure my weinke was laid out by my keys last night. Driving in to Claymore I felt great, I was back out in the Gloom, I had successfully Q-ed HB yesterday with a modified version of one of my COVID lockdown workouts, and I was heading to the premier limited run AO in Carpex on a Tuesday.

Are we still writing backblasts?

Hello, and welcome to Fastest Friday AO in Carpex! The site that never shut down. Where mileage records are set and asterisks are badges of honor. YHC put forth his best marketing campaign he could to reQruit our native #beardedmillennial but with the Covid15 around his waste, Fortnight at his fingers, and a warm and dry fartsack YHC received word this morning at 0830 he “didn’t hear the alarms.” And he’s “sorry man”.

Coupons are our friend

I showed up to Tortoises not knowing who the Q was because no one signed up. As I waited for the PAX, I got worried there for a moment if it would be a no show because it was 0528. Then Hotty Toddy, Intimidator and Bubba rolls in just in the knick of time with the shovel flag. We got the F3-admin stuff out of the way and now it time for business. [Read More]
