YHC had intentions of bringing a whole BRR team to Rush Hour to show them Cary by daylight. This was to coincide with a “scheduled” team meeting to occur later in the evening. I talked a big game, told Banjo we’d have a HUGE turnout. Turns out we couldn’t all be present, so it was cancelled. Leaving me bringing…me. Anywho-I arrived a few minutes early, to check how many ramps were in the parking deck. [Read More]

Who Needs a Warm-Up, Not Tortoise!

 Posted on April 19, 2017  |  3 minutes  |  455 words  |  

A nice cool, cloudy, gloom day greets us for another round of beatdowns at the Tortoise. Visitors from out of town, Ma Bell and Wilbur, round out the hearty group of 6. Everyone there on time and no FNGs we head out to the parking lot for a round of warm-ups using quick feet and heel raises. No time at Tortoise for other warm-ups because we need to hit it and get it (to be honest I forgot). [Read More]

11 PAX showed up Saturday morning for a pre-Easter workout. No FNGs. Mosey down to the field for the warm-up: Good Mornings, Cotton Pickers, SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Plank Jacks. The rain started.

First thing, TClaps to Shutty for nailing the COMZ Q and restoring my access to F3Nation.com. Can any older gents tell me if forgetting passwords at 38 is normal? I will keep it brief today, a welcome relief, I know. Anyway, before we can even make all the good mornings, the shovel flag (poorly planted as it was) falls over and we’re due some penalty burpees. For the ACTUAL workout, short story is, today is the 38th celebration of my birth. [Read More]

Beat the Funk

YHC has to attest that he went to bed not knowing how the morning would roll. Coming off a week long work-vacation where he had no time for rest (the 3 year construction project will not end), YHC was broken and tired, add in there just in a bad mood. At 5:30am we were off with little shared by YHC, the only thing in the back of his mind was to beat the funk out! [Read More]

I learned lots that day, however just like in high school and college, I got an A+ on the exam….but forgot everything after that day. Then the day comes for me to Q again, but I didn’t remember all of CK’s simple lessons that day…….kinda like taking the GRE and forgetting how to calculate simple items you learned in previous years, like a cosine or tangent.
