We Don’t Do Bear Crawls Here
/in Mutiny/by Fanny PackYHC took his first Q of the ship at Mutiny today! Always a great crowd, always hard work, but never bear crawls! At least, that’s the joke made by LED after YHC apparently chose a pretty tough bear crawl routine this morning. Always great to see the Fuquay Fellas!
EC’ers: LED, H1N1 (who peaced out prior to workout to do something even more important…celebrate his boy’s 14th trip around the Sun! Way to make a great move HIM!)
FNG’s: nope
Warm Up: Pax warmed up alongside the Red October crew before splitting. Moseyed around the parking lot for some Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Bent Over Seal Claps, Bent Over Overhead Claps, and SSH.
The Workout: Moseyed over to the short hill by fences and field. YHC had quite an array of counts while doing this routine. Merkins at the bottom and Fence Squats at the top of the hill. Merkin counts on the bottom were: 20, 21, 17, 7, 9, 12, and 7. Squat counts at the top were: 25, 20, 13, 8, 9, 20, and 30. Finished with 7 counts of standard, diamond, wide-grip, and hand release merkins at the bottom. YHC purposely kept most counts random to eliminate Pax predictability. At one point, I heard some mumblechatter wondering if we would spend the whole workout going up and down this short hill with two exercises…maybe an idea for the future! Mosey over to the bleachers next for a more predictable 2 rounds of 3 exercises. We did 30 dips, 25 step-ups, 15 close grip bleacher merkins, 20 step-ups, 15 close grip bleacher merkins, and 25 dips. Arms and shoulders starting to get torched!
We made our way to the tennis courts for 25 ct. prisoner squats, 25 ct. sumo squat jumps, and 25 ct. prisoner squats. We then did a bear crawl suicide routine. Starting at the fence, each Pax would bear crawl to a tennis line and perform a burpee, with each line adding a burpee. We did this across two full courts, giving us 8 runs of bear crawls with up to 8 burpees. Several Pax did an additional bear crawl to pick up the 6 toward the end.
Pax then journeyed out to the nearby wall for a all pax 20 count of People’s Chair, before returning inside the courts for Mary.
Mary: With Red October men re-joining, we held a plank hold for an all Pax 10 count. 40 WW1’s, 15 LBC’s IC, 10 WW1’s, 15 LBC’s IC. Have a nice day!
Announcements: Great 3rd F events this last weekend. Plenty of food and monetary donations to Momma’s House in the FV and great work done at the HS Food Cupboard. HIM’s galore! Breach is organizing hygiene ruck for this Thursday…check Slack!
T-Claps (Recognition): Bebop for not giving up on the bear crawl suicide and pax for talking him up as he finished. This is what it’s all about!
Prayer: Schools, our nation, Pax to be mindful to stay safe in COVID. Breach took us out. I think I’ll take this ship out sailing again soon…honor to lead!

Bowling @ R4TJ
/in Running 4 the John/by UTIEC: LED, Fonzie, Deuce, Full House, WebEx, Skidmark, Vasoline, YHC
FNGs: Nope
Warm Up: Started the run with a nice steady pace towards the stop light as we turned onto Main Street. Picked up the 6 and continued on.
The Workout: A new route was designed by YHC the night before. It wasn’t intentional but some trial and error with plotaroute.com yielded a shape that was sorta familiar…
I suggest holding the center of the printed image right up to your nose. It should be blurry. Focus as though you are looking through the image into the distance. Very slowly move the image away from your face. Do you see it? “The Bowler”
5.436 miles were charted to create the familiar shape. Keeping the namesake alive – Fonzie was witnessed running off course fairly early into the run. As we wrapped up the run, McNugget took a shortcut to the facilities available at Ting. We circled up and did some stretching. Mid stretching session, Pablo excused himself to seek some relief. Running 4 the John indeed!
Mary: She’s not into bowlers – yeah, they are athletes but they aren’t really “athletes”
We did move at a fast clip this morning and we took the extra time left on the clock (about 7 minutes) to stretch things out. When YHC ran out of yoga moves, Skidmark served up some additional options to eat the rest of our time together. Kinda like when you pay for an hour of bowling and finish early. You might not have time for another game but you might as well stick around and throw some extras. Trickshots, practice, goof off. Great mumblechatter as we finished up a few more frames.

Dora returns to Possum Trot
/in Possum Trot/by 16-bitIt’s been a while since I Q’d Possum Trot and, seeing whereas I’m the site co-Q, I probably should. To be honest, the Q-Sheet has been pretty full so there hasn’t been a lot of need for me to which is a great problem to have.
Often times I try to get too creative with my Qs and forget that sometimes the tried and true things are that way because they work. That said, I decided to do something I haven’t done in a long time, the Dora. Or two of them. Whatever.
FNGs: None
EC: Fram, 16-bit, Norm, H1N1
Warm Up:
SSH x20
Windmills x10
Daisy Picker x10
IW x10
Hillbillies x10
Sir Fazio Arm Circles x10 Forward and Reverse
Seal Claps x10
Overhead claps x10
The Workout:
PAX paired off for the first of two Dora’s YHC had planned. The first one was a standard one, 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats. While one partner was doing reps the other was running a lap around the outside of the tennis courts. Continued until all reps were complete.
For the 2nd round we went and got rocks and lined up at the end of the parking lot. This round was 100 triceps extensions, 200 curls for the girls, and 300 trunk twists. The non-rep doing partner John Cusacked a rock about half way up the parking lot and back. We started to run out of time so at the end everyone divided up the number of trunk twists they had left and the teams pumped them out so we could wrap up.
