19 joined for a run up Kildaire for a bit of hill work. Looped back on Loch Highlands, dodging cars and buses along the way. Pace was pushed (not by YHC).

Announcements – Odyssey October 19, Greater Carpex pig picking Nov 2, details to come.

Prayers for all those in western NC. Find a way to help if you can.

MIAGD!

Today’s workout was co-authored by Chipotle’s delicious but spicy barbacoa. YHC had plans to cross the greenway but kept things safely close to Regency with Blimps and parking lot work. Always appreciative of these men and the opportunity to lead. Prayers for storm recovery. Many opportunities to help in the coming days and months. Make it a great day.

8 PAX for a bootcamp & 3 for RC.
TGIF! Mosey to warm up to thang 1.
Four Corners of Mary to start us off:
– low slow flutters
– dying
– LBCs
Thang 2: Tic-Tac-Toe 3 in a row team battle.
1’s vs. 2’s.
One end of the lot had our board and the only way to pass off your chalk to your teammate was to knock out merkins, squats, LBCs X 5/each. (Person must also draw the line through)
X’s vs. O’s. Losers gets burpees, winners get merkins. 2 exhilarating games played with questionable tactics. Then team Indian runs back to the flag battling each other with the classic , , . A lot of people losing on paper.

Prayers and praises. Safety for people stuck in flood zones around the state and weather. Safe travels to our guy, Joe Smith, as he goes to smuggle hardware into Prague.

MIAGD. See you tomorrow.

14 posted on a muggy South Cary morning as YHC took the Q and pursued the Ghost flag. The weather was less than ideal but the banter was fantastic, and the PAX of South Cary showed up and showed out.

warm up: short lap around the parking lot before the typical side effect warm up: Sir fazio and reverse Sir fazio, seal claps, overhead claps, and behind the back claps. Clap heavy as always, as the Pax can’t help but applaud a Side Effect Q.

The thang: 1 and only thang needed, YHC Qd a beatdown that was as almost as hard as the previous year has been for me.

“Crazy Dora”- Flag lot as the pickle, partner 1 runs while partner 2 works.
100 dive bombers,
200 burpees (you read that right)
300 Jump squats.

few finished it all (shout out to Silver fox and Badda)

Mary: Ms love Abs so we did a Pax called Mary circle with LBC, WW2, low slow flutter, and Superman.

announcements – golf sign up(we missed it)
Odyssey
South Cary camping

prayers/praises: Honeycombs daughter, health/wellbeing of others mentioned as well.

I can’t think of a better way to culminate 1 year in F3 than with a few hundred burpees/dissected burpees. Thankful for the Pax to meet me in the gloom for these crazy ideas.

see you soon SC

4 Ochoers and 7 boot campers. Started with a short mosey and standard SCary stretches in the rain. Continued with 4 corners and block work in the rain. Various exercises were called including stingray merkins. 21 seemed to be a good number this morning so we stuck with it.

7 iron-pax’ers and 9 dough-knead’ers came
together in the GLOOM to get their morning exercise mojo on. 5 miles for the Dough-It squad and only the good Lord knows what the Iron pax fellas did during their 45 min get together. Maybe they went to the Waffle House, Mojo Dojo style (didn’t notice too much sweat).

An awesome sighting of the Space-X launch lit up the sky and was a great treat for the eyes of the pax as well. @francois skipped a lap around the Loch due to his irrational fear of and we were all back to home-base with a couple of minutes to spare.

COT – Various 9/11 stair-climb workouts throughout the greater Wake county region, mainly with the convergence at Carpex BO and a birthday boy @snip led stair climb workout at #ao-wed-pointbreak as well.

The post 202410 Q’d by Sherpa appeared first on F3 South Cary.

The F3 South Cary Pineapple Express had yet again another phenomenal BRR run this year. It was a year of records in YHC’s mind – 20th running of the race, typical perfect temps and untypical zero rain, and what seemed to be a higher-than-normal number of wildlife encounters – deer + bears + roaming, unfriendly dogs.

We had 7 veterans and 2 BRR FNGs this year on the Express and the team did a strong job conquering the mountains…always in good spirits and encouragement of each man.

Upon reflection this year, I would say BRR is one of the hardest but also the best experiences I’ve had in F3. It’s hard mainly because of the logistics…from a when/where do I need to be and when/where the heck am I going to rest, sleep, eat, poop, clean-up, etc. It’s hard…and I’ve done it 3 years in a row, but I would also say it’s the best experience YHC has had in F3 due to the 2nd and 3rd F that naturally unfolds throughout the training and then in the fellowship with one another and the other F3 teams throughout the actual weekend. YHC yet again learned so much about the team through our fellowship this year including…Full House’s unflappable its-going-to-be-alright confidence…to Trickle’s ability to train, overcome significant injuries, and crush it (mate had a great race this year)…to Hermes’ stand-up comedian worthy commentating talents and boundless energy (80+ mph laser-focused drive home, again)…to Badda’s 9 levels of deep knowledge of his business…to Bing’s ability to not miss a single detail (ever) and constantly problem solve ahead of any potential issue…to Hallmark’s sleeper fitness status (surprise performance of the year, just a Terminator out there)…to Flop’s natural, easy-going 2nd F abilities to just show up, drop in, and not miss a beat with any of us despite being more of a South Wake HIM , and to Sherpa’s semi-pro cooking abilities…the guy is a magician with Italian food, who knew?, but I also thoroughly enjoy his overall perspective on life being one of the most broadly experienced and well-travelled people I’ve ever encountered.

To be on a mission with these 8 men for 30+ hours, where each one’s performance is dependent on the other, and where your spirit is being lifted and sharpened by one another throughout the first day, throughout the dark (and humor) of the night that follows, and then through the much-needed dawn of the next morning…well, there is just nothing quite like it.

Word did reach us that a prayer was said at the AMBRR for us and all the F3 BRR teams, that was much appreciated. We also fully enjoyed seeing the AMBRR results rolling in on Strava, especially in light of so many PRs and the awesome 3rd F on display. It really looked like an amazing event and kudos to IC, the SAG crew, and of course all the runners.

In closing…and pardon the admittedly sleep deprived thoughts to follow…but shortly we will be in fall…Christmas will be here before we know it…and then again it will be a new year. In light of the awesome events this weekend, YHC would humbly encourage all of us to seize the days, weeks, and months remaining of 2024. Let’s close out the year with some more epic moments like these this weekend…growing in our bonds of brotherhood…and most importantly becoming better and stronger men through serving one another, our families, and the greater South Cary community.

10 for Yogi’s Anvil and 6 stretching bros including one that had to make up some ground. We learned a lot about Bubba’s Carbon Footprint as Yogi’s 8 yr 5 pack continues. If you ever wondered if a bear shits in the woods, I don’t know the answer, but I do know that they use the ports-John’s in the Waverly Parking lot. Prayers for all the runners this weekend.
