20 men joined me at Chiseled for what started out as a hot mess and some may say ended as a hot mess. I spent the night before working on my Weinke as well as a planning a playlist to get the party started, they both fell short. I overslept, forgot my Weinke and the CrossFit soundtrack that was playing on my speaker almost caused Old McDonald to destroy the speaker!
Warmup:
Lets Mosey: Jog 25′ and circle up.
The Thang:
Things get messy – I made it all up as I went and it was obvious!
Split into 2 groups, groups partner up:
G1 – Partner up
G2 – Tire Flip – Even more of a mess – not prepared for pax numbers
Groups Switch
G1 seemed to have a much more organized tire flipping. Mostly because yours truly was not leading the group.
They ran a short distance and back while one pax flipped the tire. G1 and G2 done.
Groups come together and keep the same partner.
P1 – Run to the halfway mark in the parking lot and back.
P2- Plank – All but one Pax planked, he did LBC’s. Complete 2 rounds. Mary until 6 is in.
Next:
P1 – Run to the halfway mark in the parking lot, complete one Burpee (most pax did a burpee) and back.
P2- Hold Al Gore while P1 runs. Mary until 6 is in.
Run bricks back to the storage area.
The Moleskin:
All Pax worked hard today and didn’t ask too many questions, my plans were so jacked up questions didn’t matter. Wedding Singer is no longer a 6 that’s for sure. He killed it today.
To all Pax I apologize for the lack of preparation and the mass confusion today, I will not disappoint tomorrow at The Floater.
To all Pax that plan to Q Chiseled, plan to spend extra time on your Weinke, this is not an easy site to Q!
Thanks for asking me to Q Banjo, you may be regretting it… Ha. Thank you Old McDonald for taking us out!

Last but not least…Bone Frog this Sat.
13 pax joined me for a Commitment work out that quickly turned into Ignition! Planning my Weinke for a few days, I knew I wanted to add in some running but honestly did not expect to clock this many miles and it came to my attention from other Pax that this AO has had a lot of “easy” workouts… Not today. In Q school they tell you to make the workout challenging for the fittest while still allowing slower Pax to keep up. Furthermore, I’m NOT going to be thrown into the category of Q’s that “go through the motions”. I also had to make sure I honored Fuse’s request earlier in the week to help him shed a few pounds for the final weigh in…
Warm up:
0.75 mile run from the park toward Kensington elementary school to Millbridge Clubhouse.
Circle up!
The Thang:
Remember, I have at least 7 solid Clydesdales in front of me but I wasn’t thinking about that. I was thinking of how much I could get Fuse to cuss me during and after the workout. Little did I know Rudy would throw a few 4 letter words my way!! Let’s do this!
Starting at clubhouse mosey toward first traffic circle (0.5m one way).
From clubhouse run to second traffic circle (0.9m one way).
Mosey from clubhouse down the trail (Jingles lead) that leads to the ball fields and circle up for some last minute Mary.
The workout was solid and pushed every single pax to their limit. Many of the Clydesdales have never hit the number of miles we did today. I was extremely impressed no one quit or jumped me! Double Stuffed and Banjo hung with me at the front most of the morning, nice job guys… Again, there were around 6-8 Clydesdales (I don’t classify you, you classify yourselves) and we ran 5+ miles with pain stations, I am still amazed!! We were all so exhausted that in COT we didn’t give South Belle respect… Respect Southern Belle!
Rudy and Fusebox were conspiring to kill me the entire time…at least I told myself that. I picked Fuse up a few times and he was as mad the last time as he was the first. Many times he said, If I knew we were doing this much cardio I would have went to the Y instead…comments to come on GroupMe I’m sure.
Rudy….my man Rudy, yes he was the 6 most of the morning but he did not stop. Did he cuss me to my face a few times…yes but I loved it. He was completely out of his comfort zone and improving the entire time. He probably would have never imagined he could run 5 miles. DO you think he or any other Cylesdale would post for Ignition or Pursuit? If they won’t come to Ignition I will bring Ignition to them!!
To Doughboy, Chainsaw, Jingles, Rockwell, Southern belle and the rest of the guys not mentioned…GREAT JOB!
Oh, and many of you made comments about me wearing a headlamp… How many of you hit that enormous puddle and soaked both feet? Not this guy… Knish for sure hit it.
Thanks, guys.

Banjo mentioned a pretty important announcement that I think we all really need to think about. bonefrog nov10.
Unofficial Workout: Thursday 6:30 Food Lion parking lot Waxhaw
F3er’s who can’t get up early, that have fallen off the wagon, or have missed a work out that day.
Shampoo Crew (Fartsackin for day two)
Collect any extra shampoo while traveling for Dancing Bear
I’m not sure if I had more or less attendance after posting a pre-blast stating that we would start the morning with a 1-mile run. Many thought I changed my mind after some crying by Zinfandel in The Playground but I wasn’t willing to budge. That pinky out wine drinker not only threatened to fartsack but asked others to leave a negative rating on Yelp for my personal business. Would I back down from the persona I had created for myself thus far here at F3 of being the PostNoPost Police or would I get soft??
I woke up feeling enlightened and ready to crush whichever PAX showed. Recently adding to my titles with this organization it was important that I set the tone after being named the newest Site Q. I strapped on my white and baby blue, size 14 ass kickers and the Q juice was coursing through my veins…
And wouldn’t you know it, the Briarcrest caravan was the first to arrive. After all that mouth Zinfandel showed and was towards the front of the pack during the run. After the run, he wished Breadbowl was there to give a nice and slow “90 count”! There was a bit of whining from Fusebox regarding multiple items but mostly because he was not informed I was co-site Q… the man needs a hug. Those gigantic sweats he is wearing in the morning now are weighing down his ability to laugh anymore.
Moving along, we had 15 PAX show up at Watchtower even though they knew how it would start. My goal today was to get in around 3 miles of running and we used every ounce of this location to achieve that goal!
The Thang:
1 mile run around Target shopping center, down HWY 84 and back to Target parking lot. A bit of mumble chatter during the run, that was about to be squashed!!
Circle up: We were already warm, let’s make this quick.
Suicide squat/merkin ladder (AKA mumble chatter killer): This was not fun!! 6 trees total.
Start in Target parking lot:
In all most of us did 91 merkins and 364 squats. I called recover before Fuse could get his last two Merkins… Pretty sure he turned green and almost ripped his shirt off.
Four corners: Well it turned into 3 corners (audible) – We just did 91 merkins!
Start in Target parking lot:
Mosey to Brooklyn Pizza – The long way!! Remember it’s all about the miles!!
Partner up: 50 dips, 50 step ups, 10 burpees – Total between both partners
P1 – run around the building while P2 does the above. Flapjack until done.
1.5 mins to go!! Run around the parking lot twice – We hit 3.06 miles. Nice work guys!!
The Moleskin:
I may have hyped up the workout a bit and mentioned it would be a Moneyball style work out and I think it was close. My goal during each workout is to keep up with the lead guy and today it was Bottlecap. Did I keep up, no, but I tried. Taking advantage of his gimpy leg I kept up with Moneyball. I think if I put a weighted vest on Bottlecap I could keep up, Fuse what do you think? A wise man once said “the 6 is just temporary housing” and today some of the Clydesdales pushed hard and may be looking for a permanent home in the middle or front of the pack!
I learned quickly that it’s not good to show your hand before the workout happens…Lots of whining. Doughboy is on Fuse’s hit list for lack of communication. All the pax did excellent today and are getting much faster. Be warned if you get new shoes you may be heckled by Bottlecap and Moneyball, FYI Dana has some on order!!

8 Pax rolled into Outland with a few minutes to spare not knowing they were about to clock a few miles, approx 3.5. Not knowing a single Pax and not ever posting at this AO, I wasn’t really sure on how they would respond to what I was about to hit them with and I found out real quick that I definitely threw them a change-up! After this week of missing two posts and getting taunted heavily by my regular pax, I was determined to bring a beatdown to Outland and I did. Sorry boys!!
Warmup-
Long mosey from the front of school down the main road to the back of bus lot, see link below for actual route. Circle up!
IC-
The Thang:
Fast Mosey to Shiloh Elementary playground. Nearly there I called an audible and stopped for merkins so 6 could catch up. Once to playground– Partner up!
Mosey back to bus lot at Elementary School
Mosey about 50′ and circle up—BIG CIRCLE!!
Mosey back to Middle school parking lot… Pax started talking during mosey so I picked up the pace, the chatter stopped. Once back to bus lot, where the Triple Nickel claimed its victims, I told the pax I had one more item to cover…. 4 Corners! I apologized in advance…
Rinse and Repeat x 4 After 2 rounds I called an audible (time constraints) and I changed the loop from 4 to 3… After 3 rounds Jail Break back AO for marry and COT.
The Moleskine
The long mosey to start the day had all the pax a bit shaken but they soon settled in and completed the exercises. Had to circle back for the six only one time. Smokey and Madison are beasts and led most of the morning, great job guys.

19 PAX were on time at Watchtower for my vQ. I have to admit I was a little nervous and even did a mock run the morning before. Pulling up to Watchtower I realized I forgot my Weinke so I called an audible and created an entirely new playlist. The first audible would cause me to call the second audible……
Lets Mosey:
The Thang-
The Moleskine
The gripes and grumbles this morning were at an all-time high! I had a feeling some of the Pax would not like the change of pace but getting out of your comfort zone makes you grow and makes you stronger! I knew the bear crawl – crawl bear would be tough. At one point I was compared to Hollywood (I think by Doughboy) and I took that as a compliment!! I was so exhausted post workout I skipped right over the FNG (Lazy Boy) and was promptly reminded. Thanks for letting me Q.
