YHC, a resident of Carrboro and loyal member of the Churham pax, daily makes the trek to our great State’s General Assembly in a professional capacity, and has eyed the grounds of the Capitol Complex for years with Q’s intent, noting the perfect granite stretches crying out to be bear crawled over, grassy hills longing to be Jacobs Ladder, and long stairs in need of repeated purposeful ascension. Imagine YHC’s delight when the Raleigh pax launched a workout on these hallowed grounds. Took the first open spot to Q, set the alarm for 4:00 and went to sleep like a kid on Christmas Eve. Finally!
Moleskin:
18 Raleigh pax gathered to welcome YHC as a mean wind howled through the museum mall, so with little preamble we were off.
Fellowship jog to the big globe for warmup:

Fellowship job to the LOB stairs for Jacobs Ladder part 1. 9 burpees at the bottom, 1 merkin at the top, repeato until 1 burpee, 9 merkins. WWIIs for the early finishers.
Move to the grass lawn of the Halifax Mall to line up for Usain Bolts. 1 pax calls an exercise and sprints across and back while remaining pax complete said exercise. Repeato until all pax have run.
Indian Run to the end of the mall, down the stairs to the bottom of the steep grass hill for Jacobs Ladder part 2. Merkins and Bodyweight Squats, cut short by the time. Indian Run back to the LB side of the mall. Bear Crawl cross the bridge, move at each pax’s highest rate of speed to the Great Seal on the other side of the LB, WWIIs for early finishers.

– Welcome FNG Freefall
– Gratitude to the pax for the warm welcome on a cold morning. Enjoyed it immensely, will be back soon.
– TClaps to Yippie Kai Yay and Quagmire for planting the flag at the NCGA. Awesome site.
– Fall of 2012 YHC was EH’d by Wonk into posting at Ball Bearings. A year later F3 is launched in Blue Heaven. 12 sites later, Churham growth continues apace, and YHC is a much better man than the Circa 2012 Sadclown. Point is, keep EHing. You never know what you may inspire, or who you may save.
Aye!
