Back of the Lowes Parking Lot

 Posted on February 1, 2018  |  2 minutes  |  340 words  |  

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]

Bears and Balls

Coming off a week+ of fartsacking due to sickness YHC was still quick on the draw to pick up the Q hand off from Disco Duck! After Slacking out a message trying to rally some HCs for this morning (and only receiving 2) YHC knew numbers would be somewhat small. 9 Pax made it out for a nice cool-crisp-shorts-wearing-36-degree morning in DTA. With the low hum of the idle train (#ApexSignatureMove) and Grease with two freshly tied shoes (#SignatureMove) we were off into the gloom!

When the M tells you that your plans are canceled and you are able to go work out AND you see that there’s a vacancy in the Q spot. Coincidence or Providence? It matters not because there was work to be done. Warm Up: Jog over to the grassy area and square up. 20x SSH IC 10x GM IC 10x WM IC 10x IW IC Head back over to the parking lot where we line up on the curb for… [Read More]

Officially-sanctioned, Nantan-endorsed, non-Russian-doped, F3Nation-approved 2nd F

 Posted on February 1, 2018  |  2 minutes  |  381 words  |  

Guys, I have about 6.5 minutes to write this, so I’m going bullet-point, rapid-fire style. What follows is the general direction the flow of (great) conversation went during the Official NW Cary 2ndF (TM), I think you’ll see a definite trend. Given the sophomoric nature of the mumblechatter at Flying Circus this morning (looking at you Nantan), I’m surprised we started as elevated and cerebral as we did. What would you expect walking into a joint called White Oak Coffee & Tea? [Read More]

Bloody Super Blue Mother Ruckers

Last week at Flying Circus, Biner was giddy with excitement over the arrival of a new ruck. Where to break it in? Camelot? Nah, ’tis a silly place. 4 PAX decided to oblige him at SNS. We couldn’t have picked a better morning for it: clear skies, a giant full moon turning to red as the Earth’s shadow passed over…oh, and a balmy 17F of chill in your face. Somehow, hauling 35# through the gloom, mixing in some PT, and I’m pretty sure none of us noticed the chill.

What the heck is an Octothreat

 Posted on January 31, 2018  |  3 minutes  |  532 words  |  

As the Twitterserve would have it, YHC and some of the fellas including Captain Insano got into a deep-cut thread over the weekend and thus was born the “Octothreat.” With the pressure of the entire F3 Nation, YHC set out to embark the PAX on the first-ever Octothreat. But first, another solid showing at Insomnia. YHC was looking for the easy way out before the Q on this morn, but the peer pressure pushed YHC into the 0505 start time (sorry to Angry Elf who showed up like a HIM at 0520 for recon). [Read More]

Superbowl Week Kickoff

<read in the voice of that NFL films narrator…> After much anticipation and preparation, the morning had finally come. YHC set out on his solo VQ. You’d think having co-Q’d with Kitty and Q’d a digital AO that one’s nerves would simmer, but, nay, not a steady nerve to be found. Ma Nature didn’t help with a deluge of rain, transforming Wolverine from the gloomiest AO in the land, to the soggiest. [Read More]

You know what makes a Q feel good? When that special someone says at the end of the workout, “That might have been the hardest workout I’ve ever done.” It really takes your breath away. Thanks Tubeless. 12 PAX gathered in the “snow"crest parking lot of Salem Park, whose students get to enjoy quite possibly the most ridiculous two hour delay ever, awaiting this so called “Lap of Pain” YHC promised.
