Bait and Switch at Fast Twitch

Bait and Switch at Fast Twitch

YHC pulled into the lot at 5:05 to see a bunch of cars awaiting this morning’s Fast Twitch beatdown.  Looked to be a big turnout until a closer look revealed that the local running group had commandeered the track.  Turns out the majority of the regulars started their taper for the BRR next weekend – probably a good call.  Alas, 5 Very Strong Fast Twitch Pax got after it for a 45 minute beatdown that left no time for a 10 count.

The Thang:

1 Mile Indian Run (proved much more difficult w/only 5 pax) – Many Sprints to the Front w/very little recovery jogs between them = Early O2 deprivation

Ball of Man and a great sendoff by Chelms

Moleskin

Great effort by each of the Pax today pushing and encouraging one another through a real sweat-fest this morning.  Zippity made sure all of the others on the track knew we were doing exercises in cadence #megaphone.  It was a pleasure to lead this morning and look forward to seeing you all in the gloom.  Best of Luck to the Area51 Blue Ridge Relay teams – may you all push through the physical and mental barriers and make it home healthy and safely.

Thanks for the lead Fletch. That was the smallest F3 workout group in my 2+ years. Either the PAX was afraid of you or they are making BRR out to be something harder than it is (or both). Definitely need to audible next time before running an Indian Run with only 5 guys.
