IPC Week Zero – 2021

Week 0 IPC 2021

This does NOT count as a Q so don’t you worry Chicken Little.I slept great last night but at 5am I realized where I was headed. Damn you IPC…

I had only really confirmed Bottlecap and Easy Button to attend as of last night. I pull up and 6-7 cars? Damn it we won’t be able to use the track if high school kids are there. I break it to EB as he pulls up….then we see Dasher trotting around the lot.

Oh man guys are already out taking a gander at the track? 3 IPC virgins in attendance? Oh boy. We find the one corner that has decent light and set up shop. Camera is rolling and it’s time to get this over with.

DiCCS given. Confirmed workout logistics. And it’s time…

I don’t want to give anything away but starting with 100 x Merkins is an ass kicker. Lots of different methods were discussed. I started with 15 reps and 10 secs rest. Couple rounds of that and it went to 10 reps, 7 reps… then 5 reps and then who knows. And that’s pretty much how the rest of the morning went.

Shoutout to everyone pushing yourself. Some guys partnered up and knocked out reps in unison. Whatever it takes to get it over with. You vs You is the next level of difficulty we don’t measure enough. It scares some pax off but it shouldn’t. Never too early to whoop your own ass.

Do it. Get better. Take a nap.

Announcements:

  • IPC Relay squad is ready. 5am Friday morning.
  • IPC Week 0 being hosted by Homecoming crew, more details available soon.
  • F3 Waxhaw Convergence for our 2nd year anniversary! This is not to be missed and hunt for some FNGs.

Yoga Calves

We did some things.

But We Did This Last Week…

And for my 79th Q, I went back to where the sausage is made – The Floater. What terrible descriptive word hasn’t been used to describe the 67th worst workout site east of the Mississippi. It has everything you could want to torture both yourself and and the rest of the pax. Unbeknownst to me I would have to run for 45minutes with clenched cheeks due to not cleaning out my tailpipe entirely.

Would I have a lot of pax? No pax? Did my cigar and cocktail sarcasm upset some? 2 Mashers and 8 other bros joined me ready to get it on.

DiCCS shown and the threat of Doughboy coughing on everyone meant it was time to roll  let’s get it…

Lots always learned and again it was that damn humidity is the worst. Everyone got it in and appreciate all that posted this morning.

Yoga by Cliff Notes, as read by Zinfandel

And for my 78th Q… I read from the sacred book of Yoga for Athletes. You can only free ride at F3 for so long in a small group that meets awkwardly in a neighborhood playground before you gotta hop into the driver’s seat. We did something for 45mins. It wasn’t fluid but it worked. Time to refine and thanks for joining this AM guys.

Broga with Paper Jam

Bratwurst Broga…

Case of the Mondays Because of Spiders…

And for my 76th Q I’m glad the Chicken confirmed my attendance as the Q at Flash. It slipped my mind but great timing to get up on a Monday as today is the last week of a hectic 1st half at work. Stress at a high and I needed this more than I usually realize.

Arrive at the start and the street lamp is gone. I blame a shitty driver jumping the curb, man what a story that would be. As we greeted each other by voice since visuals weren’t an option we learned that Butterman hates Chastain! I’m kidding but he said he wishes his name had a story. I think the story is that Chastain is a dumbass and that’s a better story than most. A renaming could get worse so time to embrace the name…

DiCCS given. Let’s roll.

MOLESKIN

On Monday morning only gets worse when you start by walking into a spider web as you hop into your car. What if I was to tell you I ran into another web as we ran to the traffic circle. I got a real case of the Monday’s boys!!

As always a pleasure to lead! See you all in the gloom tomorrow…
