JDI EC joined JRI EC to a total of 3 EC’ers

Soon after the EC was complete, a shopping elf magically appeared bearing some goodies! Franklin took the ruck, YHC carried the sandbag until Cheap Trick got his hands on it and wouldn’t share.

The PAX headed south on Kildaire to Ritter for a set of 7’s. YHC would like to introduce the newest SCary exercise: RUCK YOUR BODY. The 7’s consisted of Pull ups and Ruck Your Bodies.

Returning via Crescent Green, the Q’s navigation skills were challenge, but the route was flawless!

COT: Shopping continues this week for families still struggling in western NC. Give unopened presents to HGTV or Kitty Litter.
Christmas party to end all Christmas parties at the swankiest venue in Crossroads on Dec 19th

13 bootcampers said the pledge while Kirkland called the scheduled Q for a sitrep at 0530. Thankfully, Hoppin John stepped up and flexed his former SiteQ prowess and took the reigns! HJ had his weinke dusted off and ready! A 14th bootcamper joined the beatdown around 0545 pleased to witness the Starfish principle in action. This group of SCary HIMs have been well trained (by Carpex and Peak City) to always be ready for the Q to no show!

The Thang
You had to be there to know write about it…

2 runners were greeted the bootcampers for Mary

Mary
Freddie Mercury
American Hammers
Homer to Marge

Courtesy call went out to a wayward runner that had lost his way.

Final count, 17!

All around, SCary exhibited leadership in many areas this morning! Our vacationing Nantan never had anything to worry about…

WARMUP: SSHs, Hill Billies, GMs, The South Cary stretch among other stretches
THE THANG: In preparation for this Q, YHC thought of the favorites aspects and memorable A-Team beatdowns over the last 8 years.
We began with some suicides on the amazing, refinished basketball court.
After a quick wellness check on Cauliflower in the shelter, we selected rocks from the abysmal selection next to the bball court. Curls for gurls, rock rows, overhead extension, overhead press, and rock your body; with a overhead rock lunge in between each exercise.
Finally, the PAX performed a set of 7s on the hill heading back to the flag. Merkins at the top and squats at the bottom, but with Partner Carry up the hill each trip. YHC thinks he overheard that partner carries was the highlight of today’s workout!
MARY: Mosey back to the flag
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WWW continues tomorrow at Just Ruck It, Wednesday at Point Break, Thursday at Bounty Hunters, Friday at Swwingers and Saturday at Loch n Load
Cauliflower has the Ghost Flag next week
Carpex Christmas party is on the calendar
COT: Prayers lifted up for Van Gogh’s 2.4 achilles (Apparently there’s a discrepancy on Van Gough’s name spelling…)
Also prayers for family peace during the holidays
Thank you for the opportunity to lead these men this morning and over the last 8 years!

Walnut Street Park has to be the busiest park in Greater Carpex pre-0630. It was a privilege to lead such a distinguished group of diplomats this morning.
WARMUP:
Mosey up to the street adjacent courtyard for a few of this and a few of that. Franklin was very complimentary of the back to back Imperial Walker/Hillbilly combination. Mosey on.
THANG 1:
The Waffle House line was very busted but we decided to go check it out anyways. Random construction gates did their best to slow us down but we prevailed. Although it turns out doing exercises in the Waffle House parking lot is a bit dangerous….
Two rounds (1st round 20 reps, 2nd round 15 reps):
M ountain Climbers
D iamond Merkins
C arolina Dry Docks
H eels to Heaven
Mosey the highly dangerous Noodle Blvd pickle in between.
THANG 2:
Over to a more wide open but no less sketchy REI/Harbor Freight parking lot. Back and forth doing squats/lunges at each center line. At this point lots of complaining and mumblechatter about time, and which way back was shortest. YHC paid no mind and proceeded with the longest way back.
MARY:
None
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Odyssey this weekend.
Many other events upcoming, check #cot-announcements in the various regions for more details.
COT:
Various prayers lifted.
It was a great morning and I enjoyed getting to see some different faces. I’m sorry to dash the ambassadors hopes and dreams of getting to experience a full Waffle House Q at MDCH but it was a good morning regardless. 100% coffeeteria attendance.

The post [ao-downrange-carpex] 202415 Q’d by F3 South Cary appeared first on F3 South Cary.

Last night was the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish holiday celebrating the start of the new year. By tradition this is the 5,785th anniversary of the day when Adam and Eve were created, but in modern practice, Rosh Hashanah is a holiday centered around taking stock of the past year – think of it as the annual self-assessed performance review for how you’re doing as a human.
During the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we’re called to reflect on our deeds over the past year. For me, that means I think about the impacts of my actions on myself, my family, friends and colleagues, my community, and the entire world.
What am I proud of?
What could I have done better? And how will I make that change in the year to come?

In the late 18th century, the Polish Rabbi Simcha Bunim taught that we should all carry a note in each pocket.
In one pocket, the note says “I am but dust and ashes.”
And in the other pocket, the note says “For my sake was the world created.”

And we should reach for these reminders when needed. When we are feeling high and mighty, we should remind ourselves of our frailty and fallibility. And when we’re feeling low, discouraged, or incapable we should remember the support and love of the world around us.

We took these themes, sort of, into the workout. After a speed walk around the pickle we circled up for 15 arm circles, 8 overhead claps, 5 Mike Phelps, 3 of something else, 2 of something else, 1 burpee, and then 1 more burpee. The pax were confused by my counting. SCS with some pigeon and then it was time for the thang.
6 exercises (using two small rocks) with increasing counts, then we grab a pain stick and do a blockchain (kidney stone?) around the pickle.
Exercises: Side straddle hop, Heels to heaven, Overhead press, Freddy Mercury’s, Astrojacks, Rock rows.
Counts: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8

BiB bros did a perfectly timed flyby, joining the blockchain as they did. The pax took a bit to figure out what a Shofar is (it’s a trumpet made from a rams horn that’s traditionally used as a call to prayer during Rosh Hashanah). TP figured out the counting was the Fibonacci sequence. Complaints that the exercises alternated (nearly) between standing and on the ground were greatly enjoyed by the Q. Life is full of ups and downs, after all.

Also, it was acknowledged that at an offsite meeting in an undisclosed location, the stonecutters ceremonial chalice was passed off to YHC and Fruit Loop. A significant decline in the quality of parking is expected.

16 showed up this morning to enjoy humidity, classic rock and lifting heavy things. We did all 3.

YHC isn’t sure if everyone counted the same number of reps and instilled a penalty burpee for those that had it on their conscience, it was a questionable move.

Regardless we all worked hard and enjoyed the mumblechatter of the ambassadors.

Respect Week rolls on. No cadence count and nobody got hit by the car in the crosswalk. We grinded up the hill two light polls up, one back. At the top, a variety of moderately successful group of exercises moderated by Statler and Waldorf. Sorry, I meant Franklin and Term Paper. Work our way back down the hill finishing up with Mary. I’m bringing her back. Welcome FNG “Safe Word”. He’s a beast and he likes burpees.

Thank you everyone for coming out this morning. I’m humbled and blown away. I feel blessed every time I post!
