Five years ago YHC stumbled into Mutiny not knowing what he was getting into. This Sunday (6/21) marked the anniversary, and it felt right to honor it by taking a look back.
Today’s beatdown was not written by YHC. It was written by Dauber in February 2020, built in honor of POTS — Mutiny’s former resident pirate and the AO’s spiritual patron as Dauber described. YHC ran it as close to the original as the morning would allow.

“The one Q to Q them all…” – Paradise City 6/22/2026
/in Paradise City/by Jack DelloStritto8 HIM ran + rolled the dice all over Ting. 🏃♂️🎲
We were serenaded by owls and danced with cockroaches as we poured sweat under a beautiful sunrise. A well-earned OYO stretching and sharing of our F3 name history to end before 2nd F Coffeeteria. ☕
There’s no one I’d rather sweat with. Thanks for seeing me across the finish the line

Q em All complete.
My best takeaway was getting to know a lot of you outside of the Fuquay Mafia that I never get to see. It’s really been a pleasure and I’m thankful for this community that pushes me to steward my body well.
Get out there and fill in that Q sheet!
