Leading From Behind

Leading From Behind

So this was my VQ at FastTwitch so I wanted to find some new territory. The Pax kept growing as the clock was ticking closer to 5:15 and we ended up with 23 guys total, including an FNG. We started off with a mosey around the parking lot and made our way to the front parking lot of the school.

The Thang:
15 x SSH
15 x IW
10 x Merkins

Mosey down Woodfox, then take a right on Rounding Run Rd, and take a right on Rounding Run Rd and follow down to intersection with Woods End Lane. Two sets of intervals around Rounding Run Rd. Run 1 lap, then recover around to other side, then run a second lap, with 1 last recovery lap that will take you back to where we started at Round Run and Woods End. Once the 6 arrives, mosey down Woods End Ln until it intersects with Autumn Leaf Ln. Run one more interval around Woods End Ln, Old Spice Ln and Autumn Leaf Ln. Once done, mosey back out and take a left on Rounding Run to the bottom of N. Course Drive. Run to the top of the hill, recovery back down to the start and then 10 merkins. Repeat. Mosey back to the parking lot to complete the workout. We had a few minutes left so we did a little mary with some can-opener and LBCs.

Moleskin:
Strong work by the Pax as usual. I can only guess who was up front because I was so far behind the Pax. I bit off a lot more than I could chew, and should have stayed a little closer to the AO. I had the VQ adrenaline going and thought I was Rachel for a minute and I started off a little too fast on the first interval and then hit the wall. I wonder if drinking beer between intervals would have helped? A few of the guys were offended we had to do IWs, SSH and merkins, but I wanted to make sure everyone was loose and didn’t pull anything. I was mostly worried about Gummy and Hopper. Besides, in order to look good for pool season we need to be skinny and muscular, especially if you plan to wear a grape smuggler like Semi-Gloss and Alf. Thanks to Mermaid, Joker, Huggie and any others I forgot for pushing me at the end. I had nothing in the tank. And worse of all, I lost the FNG at the end. I hope he comes back. Thanks for letting me lead Rachel and Haze, and the takeout Haze.
