Wet 1s
7 PAX swiftly ran mile repeats in the rain in Ballantyne, with a minute of rest between intervals. Nice job of Frasier bringing the accountability at the start and asking guys what their goal time for each Mike was. Two answered with some level of confidence. YHC had a goal but want to confident in it, missed it by a few seconds consistently. Say it loud, say it proud.
Because #waxhawcounts
Red light district 5/43
Well whats to be said? 4 crazy men challenged each other in the rain to be stronger.
The day went as such:
Tagalong wore his jacket that he uses when he directs planes at the airport. We were all a little jealous though.
Midriff looked like he ate some bad food the night before as the rain hit him in the face but he quickly felt better and pushed to the front of the pack.
Rousey came out like a gremlin who got wet after midnight. He soaked up the rain and asked for more. Then he forgot how to count but we helped him out.
Yhc was super excited to be out in the rain. This is where the stories come from. Frankly it sucked but I couldn’t ask for a better group to be out with in this weather.
On our way back from the parking deck by the new building we crossed Johnston. With the cross walk lit we had our heads up and saw a truck in the right turn lane. It had a red and he didn’t care at all. He skidded to a halt a few feet away. That wasn’t the only pair of skid marks out there today. Please keep your head up and watch your road crossings.
White Men Can’t Jump
9 Pax arose from the sack to take on the gloom. Point Break and YHC got in some early work on the #MarchMadnessChallenge.

- Shoutout to my #MarchMadness accountability brothers. Point Break for showing up early to get in some prework. Trickle for crushing the pullups with me after the workout. Fredo for challenging me to stick with this whole thing.
- Smuggler was springing like a rabbit when we first started the Killer B’s. He stuck with it and stayed solid for the rest of the workout.
- Great to see you back out in the gloom Lafawnduh after some extended recovery time. Big Ten respect!
- While Das Boot fartsacked the workout, we honored him by paying respect to his legendary calf workout on the same stairs that we ascended for the 64x32x16x8 circuit repeats
- Waterboy good to see you again after Body Shop last Thursday
- If you ever need help installing a french drain, Wingman is your man. Just dug a full trench and installed his own in less than 3 hours. Then posts and crushes the workout. Respect

Moleskin:
1) Consensus was Apple Weather “feels like” temp was off today. Didn’t appropriately adjust for the wind chill which went away sometime in Part 2 for YHC
2) Mighty Mite made it on time this week but continued with his social distancing. Dr Fauci would be proud
3) Frehley’s Comet is getting his daily servings of vegetables and it’s keeping him well powered with natural gas. One time we were happy with the wind today
4) Wild Turkey was putting in the work today – with his pre-jump and powering through it all today
5) War Eagle was playing the strong and silent type today
6) Voodoo was steering away from football conversation today with the retirement of Drew Brees and offering up great tips on “radiating strength” today during Part 1
7) Thanks to all for putting up with my odd warmups and over abundance of Mary – always a honor to lead
8) Live Aid was a benefit concert held July 13, 1985 for famine relief in Ethiopia and was the source of all the live music today
Well, That Was Interesting
8 brave men, excited to leave the confines of Cuthbertson, joined YHC on a short trip to what the old school Lawson guys refer to as the “other side”
Warm Up:
Run a mile along Cuthbertson, Five Forks to the bottom of Great Rd. At every light pole on Great Rd. 10 merkins, next light 10 plank jacks, repeat until done.
Thang:
Great Hill
10 Mike Tysons, run backwards up hill to first light pole, 15 Mary Catherines
back to start 10 MTs, to second light 15 Bomb Jacks
back to start 10 MTs, run backwards to third light 15 Mary Catherines
back to start 10 MTs, then run all the way up to Five Forks rd, 15 Bomb Jacks
To This Is Ignition hill
At the top 15 merkins, at bottom 15 jump squats. Repeat 3 times, on the way down the hill, 15 Mountain climbers.
LBCs, 30 Heels to Heaven
rD klaweniP
At the top 15 Jump tucks, at bottom 15 HR merkins -Run backwards up the hill –Complete 2 times
Surveyor General Dr. Merkinfest
After we moseyed to the Lawson baby pool, we ran down the street.
At every lightpole, 10 wide arm merkins, next lightpole 10 stagger merkins (R), next lightpole 10 stagger merkins (L), next lightpole 10 Diamond merkins -Did that over 8 lightpoles, then switched it up to Mary Catherines for the last two.
5 miles in our sights
Took the shortcut through the other side, up the path and to the closest alcove
10 Heels to Heaven, 20 incline merkins, 30 plank jacks, 40 donkey kicks-run to end of path and back.
Again but drop the donkey kicks-run around lot
Again but drop plank jacks-run through both parking lots
50 donkey kicks to close us out.
Moleskin:
I’m not really sure what all happened but it was definitely interesting this morning. Lost 1 to injury, 1 to some busted shins, almost lost 2 more to dehydration issues/alone time, and somehow ended up waking up part of Lawson by chanting. Knew that I’d be able to put the pedal to the metal on this Q as everyone out there today was fast. Real fast so that there was very little circling back and little down time. Ended up being a basic and likely recycled/stolen Q but when you have a competitive group of guys like we had, it doesn’t really matter what you end up doing. I think scrapping the traditional warm up worked (all the issues above were obviously unrelated). Who knows though, maybe doing 10 IWs would have changed EVERYTHING. Until next time.
Hurry-I looked into it and you may be right that 30 plank jacks on slippery benches are likely not a good idea moving forward. Especially 55 min into a workout. Oops.
Bottlecap-QOD “Headlamps don’t really help when running backwards” True.
Baio-silent assassin is always lurking right near the front, is quiet on his feet and may actually talk during the workout, but like me gets drowned out by the louder pax.
Gerber-Group Me demands pics!! It was sadly a short stay this morning. Need to get creative and name that fence though.
Dasher-Loves him some merkins. Might have done a few of those today. Was showing up the younger guys and had a little pep in his step this morning after all those trail miles he’s been putting in lately.
Easy Button-After much reflection, reluctantly took the blame for Gerber’s injury by not offering up his bathroom at 5:30 in the morning and making it super awkward for his family, instead forcing Gerber run a mile to the bathroom. Tried to make up for it by allowing Transporter to use his hose for some water. Too little too late.
Transporter-Guy was thirsty this morning. Too many honey do items over the weekend will do it every time.
Ice 9-Definitely not enough group counting going on today for Ice. Likely upset as he somehow couldn’t mess up counting for a guy who, on video, can’t even count to 40 correctly.
Announcements: See Flash
Last Four In
Rolling into March with some good weather and March Madness in front of us -so would add that to the party mix.
Nice variety of Pax- some recovering from the Rooster and some others that usually hibernate for the winter joined in the fun.
DccS was covered and we were off
Mosey to front of Middle School for some warm up: SSH/LSSS/FlankJack/Merkins (do your stretching at home).
Mosey to a hidden alcove – literally the one right behind COT. So many Pax amazed that this was a real place – it actually is – a few tables a good cut out of pavement. Explained that what we would be doing in the alcove:
10 Jump to Merkins – basically long jump to a Merkin (fools gold for a Burpee) – run path and back
15 Jump to Merkins – run to Path and back
20 Jump to Merkins— I wanted to get this in to show Asylym Q’s we don’t need any disclaimers to perform some good old fashioned burpees.
Mosey down path to another alcove at the Middle School:
10 Bobby Hurley’s & Speed Skaters – run to benches and back
Repeat 15 reps and 20 reps.
Tables at Cafe= Dips and Derkins -no running just 10/15/20
Head to Basketball Court – March Madness portion. Line up on the sideline for:
15;s followed by burpee penalty/14’s followed by burpee penalty/13’s followed by burpee penalty
Mosey to Rudy’s Poop Palace more 1-/15/20.
Donkey Kicks to Big Boi’s – run to second light pole and back
Mosey back to COT via Path – hit each light for 10 American Hammers (2 is 1)
COT
Prayers up for Surge’s niece who is making some progress and Dancing Bears friend dealing with cancer diagnosis. And for Gerber – dislocated Finger during ignition. Not sure what those dudes are doing in the woods when it’s dark.
Not a lot of distance today but hoping to keep the hear rate in the working zone for most of the workout.
LRC crew seems to be back to F3 in full force (Foundation, Deflated and Smithers)
Hats of to the respects and RR’s today: Surge, Rockwell, RickyBobby, Draper, O-69 and Elmers
Good to see the bears wake up for some porridge of burpees – Carebare and Dancing Bear
The close to Respects – Mad Dog and Premature
Looks like Elmers crossed the 50 year line? need to add a respect tag and much respect for continuing to show up and give tremendous effort.
Carb Load in good form advertising for next stupid-fun-awesome waxhaw event
Dana getting his outside workouts back in
Inspector Gadget – Six Man – seems to be on his way to more posts than Shampoodle!!
Legal Zoom – “quietly” moving to the front of the group
Ex-Lax shows up does work- boom
O-69 in the right place at the right time to provide medical diagnosis on Gerber “I’m not Doctor – but that looks screwed up to me”
good to see Shake in total agreement on this workout
Rudy – You can thank me for arranging the workout to pass your throne. Glad you had a chance to stop in.
Special Thanks to the SiteQ’s Chicken and Rockwell. Flag – check. Circle back for the 6- Check
hope that’s a wrap and I didn’t miss anyone.
We’ve crossed the 1 year mark of this crazy Covid year. As a Waxhaw group we did not come out of this without pain – parents, sisters, brothers or friends were lost to this crazy disease. Be blessed that we have this group for the support and also the OUTLET to still be able to blow off some steam.
Blessed to be with you in the gloom.
40 Burpees at Asylum
Two weeks ago, I let the Asylum pax know during announcements that I was Q’ing (in two weeks) and I was going to give them the ability to change the wienkie. There were going to be 100 burpees on that Wienkie. If we had at least 1 FNG – 30 burpees gone. 1 Kotters – 30 burpees gone. 1 – Site FNG – 30 burpees gone. And if Posse showed up on time – 10 burpees gone. As you see from the title, we did 40 burpees.
I arrive about 4 minutes ahead of launch and to my gleeful shock, I see a lot more bodies than normal. I get out of the car and Mayhem makes a v line towards me….except its not Mayhem. The guy has on a bandana (do rag?), and eye patch, and a fake mustache and proceeds to introduce himself as Panama Jack – an FNG. Sorry Mayhem, doesn’t count. But good, no, great try.
Brutus introduces me to My Space. His second workout. Not an FNG but will count towards the site fng so 30 burpees gone.
I see Honeycomb. He says he has been to Asylum before but not in a long time. Some pax try to get him to count towards a kotters but I just saw him in pictures last week so nope!
I’m about to start DiCCS when we see Ditka rolling up on two wheels. “Hey Ditka, when was the last time you posted”. Ditka: “October?”. There’s our kotters. 30 more burpees down. (Scuba was also a site FNG).
I start DiCCS and still no Posse. Chastain asks for clarification if it was that he had to be here at launch, pre DiCCS, what? Technically I told him before I started DiCCS, but at this point I’d take launch.
Burpee Recap
30 for no FNGS
30 for no Kotters
30 for no Site FNG’s
10 for no Posse on time.
So we have 40 burpees to do.
5:15. Lets go.
WARM UP
10 burpees a minute for 3 minutes. This shut everyone up pretty quick – me included.
Mosey to Target Parking Lot.
THE THANG
Teams of 3. P1 splitting 100 Turkish get ups. Partner 2 at the other end of Target parking lot splitting 300 crab dips. P3 runner.
Team up (2). P1 does supines. P2 runs to retaining wall, climb up it, mosey around and down and back to the shopping cart corral. We did this twice. Some chose taller portions of the wall than others, but most everyone was eye level or higher.
Mosey to the corner of the lot for some square sprints. Go 50% down one stretch, make a turn for 70% run, make a turn for all you got, then walk or slow mosey back to start to complete the square. We did this 4 times. Flanders attempted to fool me after our third time running saying we had already one four. Chastain and I wondering where Posse might be. Chastain said he bet Posse went to another workout location 30 minutes away just to spite us. Posse must have heard us talking about him because he came wallowing up in despair running up using the ole AM/PM excuse.
Mosey to another corner of Target and grab teams of 3 again. P1: Merkins. P2 Squats. P3: inch worms towards squats and bear crawl towards Merkins. We did three rounds.
Short mosey to the gate near pet smart (the gate is still on the old day light savings time). Jail break to COT.
About a minute and a half left. Time to knock out Posse’s 10 burpees. For those who finished early, squats until time was called.
MOLESKIN
- Chatter Box dropped a joke on Sugar Daddy that had me rolling. It wasn’t that great of a joke, but more about Chatter coming out of the box to drop it. As we chop it down from the last jail break, Chatter Box comes over to sugar daddy and says “Hey Sugar, your loosing your sugar. You left some Gummy Bears back there”. Apparently there was a pack of Gummy Bears that we ran by.
- Still laughing about Mayhem coming dressed up trying to pass himself off as an FNG. Panama Jack at that. Great job.
- Brutus pulling a site FNG out on only his second post. Nice work.
- None of my guys I was EH’ing showed. I was trying to pull in two Kotters and a site FNG.
- I didn’t think of this but should have added a Site Kotters. Some new faces back out to Asylum that had been before. Welcome back Honeycomb, Sugar Daddy, Chatter Box, Schnitzel, Chastain, and Radar.
- The mileage was higher than I expected considering we didn’t really leave Target (we got 2.7 miles). Several guys were overheard stating they were at their upper level of exertion measurements according to their watch – those four square sprints were the culprit.
- Thanks to everyone that supported this Q. My goal was do something a little different to help drive the winter regulars to get the winter fartsacker’s out of the bed. In addition, I wanted to drive more people towards Asylum since the Cuthbertson workouts tend to attract 90% of the pax – to the point that we are going to soon launch a 4th site now on Mondays in yet another attempt to break up the numbers there.
- While there were no FNG’s today, there were plenty of guys that were reached out to. I also appreciate the effort and EH’ing that went into trying to get these guys out. They likely need this more than they realize and its often a month or so in before they realize what they were missing. The weather is getting warmer. Lets all make it a point to EH some kotters and FNG’s.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- March 29th CPR Class. Five Stones. 6:00 – 8:00. Get with Surge to sign up. Cost is $15.
- Christ Closet furniture give away this Saturday. Spread the word.
Q SOURCE EXTREME OWNERSHIP
- Mayhem led 6 other guys (Posse, Honeycomb, SCUBA, Sledge, Sugar Daddy, and myself) through the 9th chapter – Leading up and Down the chain of command.
- Mayhem brought SCUBA out specifically to assist with this chapter. SCUBA a formal Seal (though I’ve been told once a seal, always a seal), sprinkled in some additional stories from his time with the Seals. A 26 year veteran, there were a lot of stories and I feel we only scratched the surface. I appreciate SCUBA’s willingness to come out and share with us some lessons learned and how they applied to this weeks chapter on leading up and down. I’m hoping we can talk him into coming back out. SCUBA did some training with Jocko but did not personally know Lief – the second author of Extreme Ownership.
- Next week Shop leads Chapter 10 – Decisiveness and Uncertainty.
Come Meet My Friend Mike Tyson…
For my 67th Q, I’m in the great state of FL with the family for a tour of the Southeast of the US of freaking A. When we took a tour of the NE earlier this year I put in the Covid-19lbs with nearly 4 weeks of zero posting. Trying to avoid that this round I made sure to mentally commit to posting regardless of distance.
A cinderblock workout Tuesday and Wednesday mornings was a welcomed change since I was walking 25,000 steps a day all over Disney parks. However it was mentioned during announcements they need a Saturday Q. I can do that…
Not sure what these guys do or don’t like but I promised no cinderblocks and a “usual” bootcamp with a touch of Waxhaw, NC. It’s fun to Q an AO you haven’t posted at before. Just some Google aerial maps and creativity…
6ft DiCCS given. Say that again? We are all children and a helpful disclaimer to assist with safety overview is a great way to start your morning.
• 6ft – reminder to keep yo distance!
• Di – the usual F3 disclaimer
• C – Cellphone on a pax in case of an emergency
• C – CPR, who knows it?
• S – Safety, are we crossing any roads? Anything to be aware of?
And it’s 7am, I immediately say “let’s mosey…” to which a pax responds “oh wow, we are already running…” This could be interesting.
THE THANG
Good mosey around the lake to get the blood flowing. Time for some warm up:
1. 20 x SSH IC
2. 20 x Imperial Walker IC
3. 10 x Morroccan Night Club IC
4. 20 x Deep Slow Squats IC
5. Jimmy Dugan
6. Calf Stretch
7. Can Opener
Time to mosey to large lot about 100yards away. I turn to look back and only 3 of the 5 pax are behind me. Should we circle back? What happened? I’m told let’s just keep going. A few minutes goes by. I’m Al Goring with the French man without pants and we decide to mosey back. We see one pax and then we see another pax. I’m still not entirely clear what happened but I’m told it was a a bad knee and someone caught a lake brown trout.
We regroup and we are back in the parking lot. Line up across the stretch for the always dreadful but important demon, Mike Crawl Webb. The combination of Mike Tysons and Bear Crawls is just brutal. You start with 1 x MT and 4 x BCs. Then multiply for 10 total rounds, finishing off at 10 x MTs and 40 x BCs. It’s an shoulder roaster but a great gauge of where you are. Did you have to take a break in round 5? Can you make it to rd6 without stopping next week? You vs You.
Time to give the shoulders a rest. Mosey towards Ruckus Cycles. Team up. P1 runs a lap around the parking island and P2 does the exercise:
• 100 x Big Boy Situps
• 100 x Bomb Jacks
• 100 x Monkey Humpers
Line up on your 6. Around the horn for 10-20 reps of whatever each pax calls for abs.
Mosey to main road for some Paula Abdul. Up two lights, 20 x Speedskaters. Back one light, 5 x burpees. The group started to look tired by this point but everyone dug a bit deeper.
Closing in on time so we mosey to the square by the lake. Time for some Compass! A mixture of degrees, keeping a tight plank and some Merkins, plank jacks and 6” plank jacks. More mosey…
20 steps ups, 10 per leg and a final mosey back to COT. As I ask everyone to get on their 6 I’m asked for a 10 count. I got one better – a 4 minute Have A Nice Day! Threw out 2 challenges at the 2min mark:
• CPR Class – During the 2nd C in the opening DiCCS no one raised a hand that had recent CPR training. Time for someone to step up for the pax to host a training!
• 2.0 Friendly Evening Workouts! Our Tuesday and Thursday evening workouts, 530-615pm, have grown in the last few months. These are less than serious workouts but great opportunities for the kids to get the ya-yas out! Added bonus, the wifey gets some solo time to breathe…
And that’s time!!
MOLESKIN
The workout went as planned and I appreciate the 5 of that joined me for the post. I was told that a couple guys bailed due to the possibility of running. We got 2.5mi in across the full 60mins workout with no more than small pops of running. Don’t be shy next time and modify as needed.
It was a great morning all round and I throughly enjoyed the 60 degrees to boot. I can’t even imagine the temps in the peak of summer and I’m sweating thinking about it now.
Thanks again for the opportunity to lead and I will see you all the next time I’m in town. Until then please open sites closer to Disney so I don’t have to do the 35min commute again….
Rooster 2021
First, hats off to PAX from Fort Mill and others that organized this event. And all the effort and fun that went into preparing and competing locally. We initially thought we need to go defend our Rooster Championship from last year, but that evolved into something bigger and much better. We had 25+ guys interested in the race and we ended up registering 5 Waxhaw Teams! Of course we created the “Rooster Smack Talk” channel (which I opened FIRST every time I checked into GM). Oh yeah, and the teams were very evenly divided, regardless the mumble chatter I was hearing out there right after the race:)
We race prepped, we smack talked, we over packed that morning, we had a SOLO STOVE (was the bomb), we had great weather and our team showed up on time, we prayed together. It was a good day.
Props to all the PAX I saw out there pushing harder than I have ever saw before. And congrats to the overall champions, the Ultra Team, Thin Mint and Frasier, who made it look easy to kick our butts.
Of course, I have to mention my Pursuit boys. When I asked my Pursuit group if they would be interested, they were instant yes and we never looked back. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know these guys better during our workouts, very good dudes. They are very supportive of me and I reciprocate that all that I can, which makes this world a little better place. Ghosted wanted to run first, I think he wanted to get it over asap, especially when he learned more about the race details. You see, he thought he only had to run 2 miles, once on his own and once with the team. But at this point it was too late to change his mind, he was committed. And I didn’t get to time everyone, but I was watching his time because I ran after him and wanted to know when to expect him, don’t you know he clocked in the 6:40’s. He def has more in reserve than we sometimes at workouts. No doubt he turned it up for us at Rooster. Plus he was vocal and raising money during the event, he did so well, he had to increase his goal (much to the support from F3 pax). Foot Long and RoboCall are good buddies and were a great addition to the team and our F3 Waxhaw group. Both ran amazing fast times and had strong kicks to finish, just like Ghosted. RoboCall showed us who he was when he had to run back to back miles at the finish and he ran the second mile faster than the rest of us could run 1:) Schedule C surprised me the most, only because I had not ran that much with him before. He really enjoys rucking and that clearly pays off and translates to being a strong runner too. Thanks RoboCall for bringing the Solo Stove, that was a nice touch. It has been great getting to know you guys better, you can call on this brother anytime and I will be there for you.
Great comradery by all today. Thank you to the Waxhaw team captains. Great job to all the FIA ladies that ran too. A few notable shout outs … Rubbermaid always impresses me, he runs forever and apparently pretty dang fast too when he wants to. Thanks for the donut and bringing the girls out. Bottlecap and Glidah keep getting better and faster, no limits there. Kid Rock brought his white marker board which I totally predicted and when he learned Twinkle Toes was a no show, he tried recruiting some of the fastest dudes in WXW, but I shut that crap down immediately:) Sledge-O-Matic, come on, words can’t explain what that guy is accomplishing, so inspiring, keep going dude! CarbLoad, he is on BC and Glidah’s heels, you keep going too man! Thank you Posse for your pre-race checklist, you are all in! For Christmas, lets all get Banjo a Garmin so he won’t get lost before his next race. And so many other PAX that was out there working hard and encouraging each other, I apologize for all of you that I missed in this BB. Oh yeah, maybe next year Chastain and BC will get even shorter shorts so they can keep up with Team Pursuit!
Signing up for a race is one of the best things you can do for yourself if you want to push to another level of fitness. Leading up to the race, you will hold yourself more accountable, you will have more focus, you will train harder and you can do it in an incredibly supportive environment of F3 brothers to help push you. Signing up is the easy part, next time you have the chance, just do it. You will not regret it and you cannot lose, because it’s really just creating a better version of you.
Quick plug for Pursuit … yes, it’s an hour of running, once a week. You want to get faster, have more endurance, then come join us. No man left behind applies at Pursuit too. So what are you waiting for, make it part of your weekly routine.
Walking and Talking
6 7 guys came out to get 3.5 miles in while cracking jokes for an hour.
Radar came in on two wheels.
Rudy caught up with us halfway through holding a bag of poop. Jury is still out as to if it was his or his dogs.
Turn Buckle desperately wants to Q a Wrestling themed Diesel – complete with costume. Yes – speedo and all. We are wondering if he will go full Lucha Libre mask and where that mask might come from (S&M mask???).
Sledge arrived back to COT with two leaches on his leg (they were only earth worms). Still not sure how that happened.
After much coaxing, Posse and I monkey humped Finches house. Unlike the Boitana hump, Finch was not spotted and did not join us.
Posse and Radar then monkey humped my house. Radar thought he was safe since he had never met my wife, but little did he know she watches a lot of Army porn and according to her “definitely recognized the butt”.
Yes you saw Halfback tagged but its not THAT halfback. This halfback comes to us by way of Davidson F3. Recently moved to Lawson and works for the YMCA (so perhaps a name change to spy?). I did make a connection between him and my wife though – its a small world. Hopefully she still has a job after he overhead me telling Radar my wife was into Army Porn (she’s not, that’s a joke – but the fact that Radar was in one is not – maybe).
Longhorn was mentioned as part of a group of guys we haven’t seen in awhile and then shortly there after he does a flyby running which freaked us out.
Ran out of time to hit the trails but did cover every inch of the wide Champion Forest roads. Thanks for the second F gentleman. Lots of laughs were had.
