Next Time We Go all the way to SC

18 PAX eagerly left the fartsack a few minutes early, as they do every Tuesday, for a little stretching of the legs at the weekly edition of #F3FastTwitch. After the obligatory lap around the parking lot to pick up Brady, we were off.

The Thang: Jog out to 51 and head south to Calvary, stopping along the way for SSH x20 and Mountain Climbers x20. Swing around the church parking lot from the 51 entrance over to the Rea entrance.

Use the hill at the Rea Rd. entrance for Triple Nickel with 5 burpees at the bottom and 5 burpees at the top. Recover with a few much needed 10 counts.

Head up Rea Rd. back to 51. LBCs x25 IC to catch the six. Continue back up 51 to Cary Ridge Rd. for a little interval / speed training. Run the loop thru Carrington at a fellowship pace, but stop at each side street (7 total). Run the side street at 80-90% AYG,  then recover mosey (note that TL and Brady’s recover pace is the same as YHC’s AYG) back to the main loop and perform the called exercise:

  • Street 1 – Dolly x20
  • Street 2 – Merkins x15
  • Street 3 – Heels2Heaven x20
  • Street 4 – Wide Arm Merkins x10
  • Street 5 – Rosalita x20
  • Street 6 – Diamond Merkins x10
  • Street 7 – LBCs x25

Line up single file for the ceremonial Indian Run back to the school.

Moleskin:

The numbers at FT are steadily climbing as is the effort and performance of the PAX. The suck is contagious. The PAX is sticking together through these longer runs more and more – a testament to the hard work being put in each week. The only real separation issue was in the IR, which falls on YHC for attempting a single file IR with 18. Spackler suggested stopping for burpees to close the gap, but Chelms nixed that. Glad to have Bushwood out as a site FNG, nice work out there. The final tally was 5.8mi – not quite enough to take us south of the border, but it felt close enough. Thanks to Haze and TL for the opportunity to lead, and to Chelms for the take out.

Great Q – I was feeling great as we headed back to the school until you took the right turn onto Cary Ridge. I needed the miles but it was a good tactic to lull us into thinking we were headed home and then diverting.

ALf and I, mud run team members, were Larry Bird on the 3-nickle – just sayin.

Of course you were. Churpees take about half as long as burpees. Says the guy who will be way at the back of the pack in 2-3 months when I return to FT.
