The hills are calling and we must go

Sixteen bright eyed and bushy tailed men came to experience #F3FastTwitch on this fine, brisk morning.  Once it was surveyed that there were no FNGs off we went with a quick lap around the AO parking lot to collect Mr. Brady.

The Thang: Fellowship pace down Woodfox to Rising Meadow for some warm ups.

Everything to the funny looking mailbox and then mosey back down to the bottom of the hill.

High knees; Butt kickers; Walk on your toes inside, outside, regular; Walk on your heels inside, outside, regular; 50%, 75% and 100% to complete the warm up.

Instructions to run your one mile race pace to the corner of Rounding Run and Raintree Ln.  Plank till the six arrives.

Run your one mile race pace to the bottom of Raintree Ln just past the clubhouse.  Plank until the six arrives.

5s called.  Run to the top of Raintree Ln, about .4 miles and do the called exercise then return to the bottom for the called exercise.  At the top do 180 jump squats at the bottom spider man merkins.  Plank at the end, although there appeared to be a good bit of laying down when I arrived back with the six.  I will not mention any names because they hid in the shadows.

Mosey to the top of Windbluff and find a partner of similar speed while you mosey.

One round on Windbluff.  As a team run to the bottom and do ten hand slap merkins.  Run back to the top.  Partner one does a plank while partner two does five derkins with one leg suspended in the air and then five more with the other leg.  Flapjack.  Plank when you are done.

Mosey back to Rising Meadow for a suicide.  The first three lamp post were used.  Run and return at each lamp post back and forth until you have done all three.  Once completed catch the six.

Mosey back to the AO.  There was still enough time to do two AYG 50 meters.

Done!

Moleskin:

Great work out of all of the guys today.  It is good to see the familiar faces and some new faces starting to post regularly.  Fast Twitch is a great place to lead because there is so many options with the terrain.  We got to see a lot of Raintree today.

It was great having Joker back out.  He said it had been sixteen months since his last Fast Twitch post.  Obviously the time off has not hurt you since you were up front with Turkey Leg and Hairball the whole time.

Mr. Brady continues to be dominate and fly up and down any hill that is put in his way.

There appeared to be some gas issues with many of the Pax today.  The key there is always be up front or at least ahead of Joker and Spackler.

My #FreeRange teammates looked strong out there on the hills.  We will only get stronger and continue our domination from last years event #anychallengers

Geraldo, Floor Slapper, Stage Coach and Good Hands are making great strides in their running and several have taken some time off or now starting to get serious about it.  It will only make you stronger and more fit when you do the boot camp workout.

Buttermaker continues his good showings at #F3FastTwitch.  He is getting faster and faster each time.

Alf, Soul Glow and Hannibal are work horses.  Where ever we went they were always close behind the lead pack.

I was lucky enough to get paired up with Purple Haze for the team event.  Always strong on the merkins.  Must be from Radar chiding you so often at #F3DayZero.  Guess you want have to worry about that since he doesn’t work out there anymore or at least doesn’t stay the whole time.

Thanks for allowing me to lead and I look forward to the next time.

Well that sucked! Everything I said about the last FT post still holds true.

1) One of the toughest workouts of the week
2) Spackler stinks

If anyone wants to see what Frasier can do when he’s not running, go to Day Zero this Sat. States no running…see him go beast mode on a Boot Camp! #nopressure

Good to be back. 60 minutes ain’t no joke. Great way to start the day. Next time let’s put a real heavy vest on Frasier to slow him down.

Lots of hokies in the gloom today – me, alf, hairball, turkey leg. Just a bunch of fighting gobblers.
