Lightning, Rain, and Pain

10 PAX braved a stormy Friday morning to get stronger, faster, and fitter. And soaking wet.

We launched promptly at 0515 after YHC gave the veteran crew a mostly weather-related disclaimer with thunderstorms in the vicinity. At approximately 0517, the skies opened and drenched the PAX as we headed out for the counterclockwise Rounding Run warmup. The plan was to complete the loop and meet at the third road hump on Strawberry Lane. Things went well until YHC made a wrong turn at the corner of Rounding Run and Rounding Run and ended up running the loop again. YHC realized his #QFail after passing the extremely low #lowrider truck for the second time. No harm, no foul however, just an extra half-mile or so.

The PAX regrouped for 400 meter intervals on Strawberry for the rest of the rainy morning. We completed 5 rounds at R-pace with 400 meters of recovery in between. Joker beasted the intervals, setting a blistering pace with Marlin and Slice not far behind. YHC felt pretty good for the first 350 meters of each interval, but those last 50 meters hurt, in a good, mitochondria producing way. Strong work by everyone today, giving their all despite less than ideal conditions. Store this workout in your memory banks and retrieve it when you need a boost, when you’re struggling or not feeling 100%. Thanks to Tweetsie for taking us out.
