Strong numbers at the Twitch this morning. Weather was good(ish), per usual, day-glo yellow was the color of choice today with a few dudes shedding layers along the way. Preblast went out yesterday so everyone a few guys knew what was on deck. Hill repeats on two of the tougher pitches around with a few lower-body focused exercises between.
The Thang:
Head south on Strawberry to the bottom of the Coburn half pipe.
Triple Nickel up west side of the pipe (direction heading towards Bevington). Top: Good Mornings/Bottom: deep squat
Continue towards 51 via Coburn/Cary Ridge. Regroup at 51 SSH x25IC.
Left on 51, Right on Clavemorr Glenn into WhiteGate. Weave your way to the base of Lauren Conrad.
Triple Nickel up the southern face of #LC (the steep side). Top: RDL left leg/Bottom: RDL right leg
Chaos and mutiny ensued with 3 minutes left. As the pack coasted into Strawberry following the return trip from #5Knollz, several guys veered towards the parking lot. Some half-hearted shouting and encouragement rallied the group for a quick AYG down Woodfox. Around a dump truck. Through traffic. Backwards.
Moleskinny:
World Record CRs?: Both hills hit Strava segments today, no CRs were observed. Gerber blistered up Coburn West on his final ascent for a solid 5th place finish, just shy of @Stumpy’s smokin’ 4:10/mi pace CR. @Honeybee’s CR on the #LaurenConrad was safe today too. @TL gave a strong effort, but fell a mere 22 seconds shy of the top spot on the 0.1mi segment.
Unbdoubtedly some heavy legs out there today for guys posting at the Horse yesterday. Strong work from top to bottom, lots of speed and endurance coming along early into BRR season.
Always enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to lead Tuesday’s signature workout.

Five things I dislike… hills, burpees, Turkish get-ups, arm circles, and Jack Webb. Thankfully today only had one of the five… but, by the end I would have probably happily done a few burpees in lieu of another hill ascent.
Good to see Alf sporting his V-neck t-shirt and perfect hair. Very classy.
Lots of tattoos out this morning. think I might have even seen an “I love USC” tattoo on Haze’s lower back… but maybe I was just hallucinating.
Was that Utah with the bloody nipples and the white workout shirt? Ouch. Could make for a tough day at the office… “Pardon me while I replace the band-aids on my nipples.”
Huggie Bear has been hitting things pretty hard for over a year… impressive gains. The guy puts in the work, and he has a first-rate nickname.
May be time to put out an APB for Tiger Rag’s jeep doors. And is that Clemson or Tennessee orange?
Day-glo AREA 51 yellow or green shirts would look great shed by the roadside. As luck would have it, I have a limited-time* offer for you…

Not sure if I ever will recover and make it back out. If I do, I will make sure not to read the pre-blast this time. I feel like Tom Berenger from Major League with ice taped around both knees. Where are the running workouts that only run 1-2 miles over the course of an hour, with no bootcamp? Maybe I should start one.
