Six times a champ

Six times a champ

Not sure how many stayed up and watched the conclusion of the national championship game but I did.  I think I got to bed after midnight.  Old man Chelms had already said he was not going to be there.  After the win it set the theme of the workout.

Proper disclaimer was given with the emphasis on this would be hard since #F3FastTwitch is one of the harder workouts in the region.  I did not want to disappoint those that posted.

We did one lap around the parking lot picking up Ironsides who recently had a PR at the Bridge Run.  Congrats.  Also Wingman and Hairball also had PRs.

We stopped at the intersection of Rounding Run across from the school.  The instruction was stop at every intersection and stop sign.  At the stop do six merkins to celebrate the sixth championship for UNC.  Once at the stop sign and after you have done your merkins plank for the six.  We did this in two segments on the way to Raintree Ln.  After we hit Raintree Ln we moseyed down to the bottom of Raintree Ln after the clubhouse.  Here we did six more merkins and planked until the six came in.

Here fives were called but with a slight twist.  Run to the top of Raintree to the four way stop sign. There you do four merkins times six which equaled twenty four.  At the bottom we did American Hammers times six.  We did this until everything was inverted to doing six merkins at the top and twenty four American Hammers at the bottom.  After each segment we stopped and did mary until the six came in so we all left at the same time after each lap.

Once this was completed we moseyed over to Windbluff for a traditional fives.  Four monkey humpers at the top and 180 jump squats at the bottom.  Hold squat until the six comes in.

Time was drawing near so we set back to the AO.  This time run at a good pace and turn around at intersections to collect the six.  We did this all the way back to the AO.

Done!

Moleskin: So complete fail on the recording actually recording anything so if i left you off I apologize.  My memory for names has never been great.

Alf flew up the last set on Windbluff.  I tried to catch him but could not.  It said he may feel that later but only he will be able to feel the glory of the victory all day.

There was some whining about hills and other places to run.  Weak Jedi mind tricks do not work so well on me.

Thin Mint and Rachel were holding hands most of the morning or that is what it felt like because they were close on every segment.  Nice to be pushed.  Alf and One Eye were never far behind.

Lots of heavy breathing out there today.  That is a good sign.  We had just enough recovery before the next set to get in a great interval workout.  I had us right below 6.0 miles.  Some may have more or less.

The rest of the Pax were strong and this was a nice precursor to what awaits us for the next five months of BRR training.  Hopefully you have a team because it officially sold out yesterday.  If you are not on a team contact the Q and get hooked up with a team that needs an alternate.  You will be needed.

Haze was right I have not been to Fast Twitch since my last Q.  I was P200 training.  I will be back in the rotation.

That is all.  Enjoy your day and encourage someone that has not been out in a while to get back out.
