A good turnout for a humid after-rain morning in the Fast Twitch gloom. Neon yellow and pasty-white were the colors of the day. Others wore shirts.  No new faces, so a quick disclaimer with a pre-settlement including Haze’s Applebee’s shoes, and off we went.

The Thang:

Quick mosey (thank you to whoever pointed out the contradiction in terms) to Raintree & Windbluff for a circle-up and for YHC to count the PAX via IWs.

Merkins x 10

IW x 19

The idea was to break up into 4 groups, going to each of 4 legs that were about a .6mi round trip from the Raintree/Windbluff intersection.

The 4 legs were:

Windbluff to the top of the hill – 10 merkins and back

Raintree Ln to the gravel lot – 10 flutters and back

Rounding Run to Rising Meadow – up the hill, 10 CDDs and back

Smokerise – 10 LBCs and back

We ended up in 2 groups, one much larger than the other, and after one rotation the Q decided to scrap Smokerise. Coming off a beach week and up about 10 summer lbs, there was no need for Smokerise.

Most got in 2 full rotations before congregating at the base of Rising Meadow to await further instructions from the Q (aka the 6).

Stop to plank at Woodfox before and all-you-got-left back to SCMS with stops for 10 merkins at Burning Tree and at Strawberry. Back on site at 6:13, YHC gave the PAX 2 minutes of their Tuesday back.

Strava shows a range of 5.0 for my fellow 6ers to 6.5 miles for the usual rabbits.

Moleskin:

Great work by everyone today. This workout looked a lot better on paper than in practice (maps look so darn flat!!), but we’re all now stronger for having done it.

Utah, TL and YHC had a close encounter with a deer on Rounding Run, with TL providing a warning of “DEER UP!!”

Announcements:

F3 Golf on 7/29. Fast Twitch is sponsoring the hilliest hole on the course for $100. (Swift is sponsoring the flattest).  $5/man would more than exceed the goal, which you can bring to your next FT post.

July 4^th convergence at SCMS – 7:00AM

Smokerise is hilly

Have a great week, everyone
