Antiperspirant Loops

17 fine gentlemen clearly did not know what to make of the preblast and childish bickering on Twitter last night. Confused? Pissed? Intrigued? Bored? Most that showed this morning could probably check at least one of the above. We checked some more boxes with a robust disclaimer and no FNGs in tow and were off.

 

The Thang:

Quick mosey 13 yards to the adjacent parking lot:

SSH x 20 IC

Imperial Walkers x 20 IC

We regrouped to discuss the plan for the day. Nobody present knew what a T-pace was, so I scrapped the original weinke and winged it.

Quick mosey down Woodfox, hung a right on Rounding Run to the corner of Rounding Run and Rounding Run. Partner up with someone of similar speed. Partner 1 run the loop CCW, partner 2 run CW. When y’all meet, do 20 hand-slap merkins.

Mosey down Woods End Ln, one of the branches off Rounding Run where you’ll occasionally see a RFYL’er disappear. Then we ran clockwise 0.5 mile loops from Autumn Leaf, along Old Spice Ln (best street name in Raintree- prove me wrong), and back up Woods End Ln. Suggested exertion levels: lap 1 = 80%, lap 2 = 90%, lap 3 = faster than lap 2. Actual exertion levels = not that. Dudes were hustling though. Between each lap, 10 HS merkins and a spritz of Mary for good measure.

Moseyed back towards RR and hit the Triple Nickel on the (small) hill back up to RR Ln. Merkins at the top, squats at the bottom.

When err’body got done, we finished the original RR loop. Ish got confusing here. The idea was to have the quicker guys give the group a brief head start, ideally having everyone finish together. Somewhere between bad direction giving and bad listening, it was a free for all. Everyone lived though.

Final lap around RR with your partner – 10 HS merkins on the flip side.

Everyone except Purple Haze planked after this round. Do as he says, not as he does… or you’ll be dead to him.

We moseyed back to Woodfox and hit a quick round of suicides back to the school. All part of the master plan, Hannibal, all part of the plan.

 

Astute observations:

Headlamps are for weenies and my night vision is beyond poor. Your Fast Twitch dues may be going up in FY 2017 to fund better lighting on the street signs. Haze, when do the books close?

Hannibal’s been carrying around this dirty, cream-colored yellow shirt in his car ever since BRR. Says someone left it at his cabin. Nobody will claim it, and it’s got him really torn up. Someone take one for the team and grab the shirt from him.

For at least the 2nd time this summer, Gummy seemed to take issue with YHC wearing a hat backwards. Take note, if he’s on Q, he’s got dress code expectations tighter than Uptown Cabaret. Instead he suggested a headband to keep the sweat out of your eyes. Looks like this one’s on sale if you’re doing early Christmas shopping.

Haze posted this morning like a bloodhound on a scent trying to find out who’s behind @Dead2Haze. USC’s got a better chance of finding the endzone on saturday than Haze does at figuring this one out. Keep doing you, Keith B. Angry.

Mermaid had a late night last night. A rabbit (that he paid cold hard cash for) kept him up. If he gave some CPR and took home that jumbo black snake dead on Autumn Leaf Ln, no doubt he’d sleep better at night.

Van Pelt continues to dominate Fast Twitch. Smokin’ dudes 70% of his age. Take a page out of this guys’ book, I’m telling you.

Shocker: Beaker, Brady, TL lead the pack. Brady and TL have a combined 200+ miles between them in the last 4 days – what did you do this weekend? Strong running on tired legs.

Pro talked the whole time. Him and Hannibal bickered about who’s (beard) was longer. It got weird.

Bugeater posted wearing gloves – and clearly the only person to take the preblast serious.

Old Spice Lane had a nice jingle to it – Utah kept whistling and flexing his pecs like the dude from the commercial – it was a sight that can’t be unseen

If you’re still following along, first T-Claps on the perseverance. Some important announcements shared today. Check em out.

 

Announcements:

What are you doing Friday night? Come hang with your boys and enjoy a little fellowship and perhaps a frosty barley pop or two at Anne Springs Close Greenway Friday night. F3 has a huge contingent of dudes running the Ragnar Trail Relay. Most of our teams start mid afternoon on Friday. The running goes through the night and each loop circles back to a main campsite area. Grab a couple buddies, and come hang out for a bit Friday night.

I was just clarifying your hat intentions. Hair restraint? Fashion? And wearing it backwards seemed like a questionable call. Next time, pull it down low, Fred Durst style.

A couple of guys out there this morning fighting the trots. I saw Ductwork pull up on the hill – he said Thai food the night before was a bad idea. Really? Tclaps for making it back unsoiled though. I had scouted out some sweet bushes on the loop in case of emergency. Once I’m struck, time is of the essence.

Thanks to Pro for dragging me around the 3-sided “square”. Also to whoever was chasing me up Rounding Run the last time. I was too scared to look.

Agreed on the Fred Durst style of hat wearing. We all know we only do this early morning thing for the nookie.

Gummy, I’m glad you think I was pushing you. I was just trying to get out of the snake lane. It was the big one. #notyours

HB – you need to rethink the suicides. Seriously. Other than that, solid Q. Always in need of merkins while running.

This seems like the right crowd for this announcement:

Kettlebell clinic this Saturday at Calvary from 0700-0800. Park across from the fields for some instruction from Byron (an actual professional).

For winging it this was a solid workout. Thanks HB!
