Modified Balloon Knot
2 men for a 4:45am #meattwitch KB session set the tone and proved that DST is our &$*%* and anyone who uses that as an excuse is weak and meager. The exception being the remainder of the 12 pax who came this morning that call FastTwitch home on Tuesday mornings. The challenge today – The ‘modified’ Balloon Knot. Another Spackler special stolen from either TL or Alf who did not name this correctly the 1st time.
The Thang
‘Mosey’ down through Raintree for a stop at Raintree CC for a quick stretch and rundown of the activity.
The ‘modified’ Balloon Knot – kinda like a starfish but with 3 loops
Using the corner of Raintree and 4 mile creek as the center of the #BKnot – Each time you get back to center perform 30 squats and move onto next loop. Each pax performed #BKnot x 2.
Loop 1 – the massive hill on Raintree
Loop 2 – corner of Rtree/4 mile down to Providence and back
Loop 3 – down smaller hill on 4 mile to the ’causeway’ and back
Mosey back to Rounding Run – line up and Indian Run back to SCMS.
Total mileage: 6.5 – 7 miles

Beautiful morning for a little ‘run’. Strong work by all with Mr Brady and TL outpacing everyone. Good job gents. Mr Brady put in more miles than anyone (7) as he is a glutton for punishment and decided to take on the massive Raintree Lane hill one more time #showoff Great to see Gummy come out for a little #biketwitch and enjoy some fellowship with the pax. And by fellowship I mean confirming to the pax verbally how awful it looked. And this we knew. At one point I considered knocking you from your huffy and taking a little break. Radar showed up covered, and I mean covered, in poison ivy. Thankful he left early so we didn’t have deny him from BOM. “ITS NOT CONTAGIOUS! I’VE GOOGLED IT. BUT WE PROBABLY ARE GOING TO BURN OUR SHEETS” We weren’t taking any chances. Really needed Runstopper in his fluorescent tights today, not for the visual of the pax, but for the visual traffic aid. Lastly, that was no Indian Run at the end. That was ridiculousness. Pretty sure TL tried to Q jack and lead that Cowgirl thing. But then again, that
Thank you Haze for taking us out in prayer

Well, that was steeped in terribleness. And the mileage may just be a FT record. I figure no #HDHH record is safe with @Spackler on Q…but who would’ve thunk we’d get a FT mileage record under his lead. Nice plan, even if mostly borrowed.
Not sure what came after “But then again, that” but I’m sure it was quite interesting. Was that a self-censor (#growth and #maturity) or did corporate shut you down again? Either way, not like you to bow down to the man.
@Gummy, thanks for posting…and for shouting encouragement as you coasted down the hills past the Pax. Still, I remain disappointed at the lack of speed bump aerials.
Now that we know @Radar can jettison his cargo and still make it by 0515, there are no more plausible excuses, save being covered in a rash. Get some steroids on that…see you next week.
