BACKBLASTS

Having rid myself of negative feelings at Round 1 of Double Q regarding the cheaters…no, moving on; they know what they did…a much kindler, gentler Ma Bell showed up to Q round 2. Maybe it was just the sweltering heat that drained YHC of all energy after a mentally exhausting day at work; we’ll never know. 6 strong, aaaaaand let’s roll. Jog over to the parking lot and up the stairs to the top of the parking deck for some assorted warm-up exercises that honestly escape me…cause I was literally making it all up as I went along.

I pulled into FWD this morning - a little worse for the wear after a late night basketball game. I did a few donuts around the mini-pickle as I pulled in - partially to scare Hermes and Blue and Out and partially to wake myself up. 8 hearty souls made the trek this morning and were anxious to get after it - in the beautiful weather. (As a sidenote, Largemouth gave me a HC yesterday…. [Read More]

It would have been easy - though maybe a bit trite - to come up with some March Madness themed workout given the championship game was the night before. But YHC was just ready to get the juices flowing and work out some aggression because: YHC was tired from having stayed up and watched a basketball game Officials and BOG overseers of the university that the winners of said basketball game represented willfully, arrogantly, and unremorsefully initiated and perpetrated the longest and most egregious case of academic fraud in the history of sports in order to keep players eligible, maintain their cash cow of a revenue stream and ultimately win championships so said officials and BOG overseers can bloviate to their country club, academia, faux academia, and law firm colleagues how “their” basketball team is better’n your’n, all while NCAA and ACC officials nodded in agreement as aforementioned officials, BOG overseers, hired mercenaries, PR firms and pompous academics obfuscated, hid behind obtuse laws, delayed, denied, countered, covered up, and persecuted in order to keep the truth from being exposed.

And so it begins…Kryptonite is in the books and off and running (or racing). Pet Sounds and YHC scouted the site out last Monday while Flouride was running surveillance in Israel (that sounds cooler than KoKa Booth but who asked). We went around the lake and in and out of building parking lots. Kryptonite has many options for the PAX to enjoy. Let’s see what happened today: YHC arrives six or seven minutes prior to the launch.

Danger Zone welcomed us with a deluge as March was determined to go out like a lion. If you don’t get that reference, look it up. I’ll wait…Anyway, YHC’s grand, beast-like plans were thwarted. Yeah, we could have run around the pickle and rolled around in it with some Superman - Bananas, but nah. Warm-Up Jog up and around by the basketball court and into the shelter. Perform a little Hot Spot-esque feng shui (again, I’ll wait…) with the tables to make room for the Thang. [Read More]

17 gathered outside the gate and no FNGs in site, so off to the very 1st parking lot on right for warm up. Warm Up SSH x 15 GM x 10 IW x 15 Sir Fazio x 15 Merkins x 56 Thang Mozy to Power line hill and gather at the bottom for 21’s of Plankjacks and LBCs Fairly early audible to skip odd numbers LBCs at bottom of hill while we wait for all PAX to finish up [Read More]

5 surly scavengers posted at Phoenix, despite the site being closed. There were rumblings on the twitter machine Friday night, with a PAX wondering whether there might be others posting in the morn. Another PAX threw a royal hissy-fit like a 3-year-old whose ice cream cone was just crapped on by a seagull at the beach. Just wipe it off bro, it’s still good. Even though Mister Pissy-Pants decided to fartsack, the other three PAX communicating via twitter showed up to do some work. [Read More]

The opportunity for YHC to Q 90-minute Whiplash first came up a couple months ago, and as the saying goes, it seemed like a good idea at the time. What better way to wrap up a milestone birthday week? And, appropriately enough, on April Fool’s Day. As the day got closer though, anxiety continued to grow, as expected. But, I was confident that the grounds of the NC Museum or Art would provide plenty of options to fill a workout, regardless of how many were in attendance.

A bold PAX of 25 posted this AM. As Coxswain came cruising in at 05:44:59, the PAX proceeded to the newly erected Town of Cary downtown park fountain and circled up around the fountain. The men were blown away at its beauty and the Q drowned out by its constant flow of running water. Warm-Up: 20 Merkins 10 Good Mornings 20 Side straddle hops The roar of the fountain was so intense that the Q had to audible off of his invisible wenke and ordered the PAX to Academy street for an Indian Run/Hunt for the rock pile.
