12 Booters, 6 Runners, 7 Coupons
6 teams of 2, 4 teams of 3, and 2 teams of 6
The bootcamp was a lot of running in circles and sometimes carrying coupons. Team 2 beat Team 1 with 28 laps compared to like 7 or 8…but I trust their score was accurate.

OK enough about the workout. The best part was after we took off from the flag. As we circled the lot @Term Paper looks to the paviliion and sees a group of guys and says, “Oh look there’s some guys, wow they are even doing the pledge…..and have a flag!” That’s when pax politely filled him in that that was SWWINGERS! Bhahaha!!

It was a great morning – well the company was, the humidity was NOT. Make it a great weekend!!

Churros and Coffee were served.

Robust group of HIMs this morning, including 3 from peak city (one of whom identifies as Carpex) to discuss marriage and being a good partner for your wife.

After a masterful preamble talking about the ways we are partner and the 5 love languages, things got controversial. A certain pax refused to weigh-in on ways he is a good partner because “it’s not a partnership, it’s a union”. After some back and forth we determined that it was somewhat semantics and that Union does not start with P, so partnership would be the framework…or else that pax was welcome to leave!

Good discussion ensued with many pax bringing positive contributions. Couple takeaways:
-leverage synergies – our strengths and weaknesses are not our M’s. That’s a good thing.
-show appreciation and gratitude for what your M does for you and your family
-learn your M and how she receives love and show it in that way
-communication is key
-quality time is important
-set yourself up for a good marriage after the kids are gone from the house
-do regular “check-ins” so you can get laid

Appreciate the insights and engagement, gents!

The SCary PAX converged this morning at a true fitness mecca: Waffle House. Thanks to the genius of Yoga Mat for dusting off this CSAUP a mere two weeks ago and bringing the crazy idea back to life. It went kind of like this:

1 big and dense waffle
2 eggs
2 pieces of buttery toast
Hash brows/grits (def not tomato)
Bacon/sausage (def not ham)
5K (3.00 to 3.16mi depending on watch and route)

Various techniques were observed to get the food down quick. Thread your favorite below.
A good time was had by all and amazingly no one reported a Merlot.

Awesome to have Petey and FNG Cutco join us.
MIAGD!

We discussed charity – an act of giving (time treasure talent), why we do it, how to teach and model it for our children, and wrestled with the questions of if all giving is charity, if the distinction is the worthiness of the recipient, and if so, what makes it worthy?

The group drew on stories of Cain’s sacrifice and the Jewish idea of “Tikkun Olam” which means “healing the world”

A bunch of SCary-ites and 2.0s plus many outside our region came together for the premier family friendly donut eating race in our fine state. Grateful for the turnout, the volunteers and the pax who makes this all possible – Bagels. Special thanks to Shut In for planning the route and providing thorough instructions. Congrats to our 2025 winners Zero Drop and Daniel Boone. Special props to Web MD’s M who unofficially became the first female full qualifying finisher. We truly did make this a great day. If I forgot any SCary pax say the word.

With some “encouragement” from Shipyard, today we explored some recent phenomena…

I’m not saying it was aliens ….but it was the aliens!

Started with a mosey to warmups. Blew the PAX minds when they discovered the first man on the moon Neil A. Armstrong’s name speeled backwards is A.lieN.

Discussed the apocalyptic scene in New Jersey that has many in panic thinking UFOs were invading. Turns out it was the Goodyear blimp over MetLife stadium. The PAX then participated in inflating BLIMPs.

Burpees x5
Lunges x10
Imperial walkers x15
Merkins x20
Plankjacks x25
Squats x 30

Thang 2 was to represent the Georgia state patrol chasing an UFO across the sky turns out it was just the planet Venus. Thus we did setof 5’s – merkins and CDDs with bearcrawl to and from.

Finished with MARY, where we learned Australia does it differently and Term Paper introduced us to Homer to Martian.

Ended with COT. Prayers to the health of our families, specifically our elders, and Maywe continue to be leaders in our community.

AKOA? Next week
F2 event at Weld Wednesday next week

Back in ’17 the only Tuesday workout was Field of Dreams until an up and coming rising star, who would one day invent the Maynard and another day invent South Cary, planted a flag at Kids Together Park and using the music theme would name it Flirtin with Disaster and give us bacon at the first hard launch of the site.

To pay hommage to the history of FWD YHC decided to repeato his first Q. You can read about it here: og.f3carpex.com/pick-up-your-6/

Jack Webbs was the name of the game.

One major modification that was NOT beneficial to us in on the bridge we swapped out crab movements and instead did Balls to the Wall Shoulder presses (1) to Aussie Mountain Climbers (4). We got to 4 or 5 and the Qs shoulder would have preferred stopping at 2!

When I gave some instructions there was some gasps but one hero in the crowd (it was dark not sure who – Useful or Dumas I think?) said it best (I’m paraphrasing), “Wow those are gonna suck, but I’m excited to do it” YES! You get it!!!

Ok then we came back and the Q asked if anyone has yet to Q before and Deet stepped up so YHC put him in the middle of the circle, instructed him on how to call an exercise, and then let him loose! He killed it! We then gave his 3 praises and 3 improvements to work on.

He’s now ready to Q! One of you spreadsheet box checkers can probably check a box if you get him signed up. It’s a very warm lead hah!

GREAT morning with these guys, really enjoyed it! Loved the full participation by everyone. Bubba gets a shout out for his last lap sprint so he could get a BIGGER rock. Atta boy!

MIAGD!!!
