More Raintree Fun
Twenty gathered this cool and unexpectedly misty morning at SCMS for another edition of Fast Twitch. With BRR still far enough out, YHC decided to keep the hills coming. Here’s what we did.
The Thang
Quick disclaimer then mosey over to the intersection of Wind Bluff and Raintree via Woodfox and Rounding Run. Once there, select a partner, preferably of similar speed. Partner 1 runs down Wind Bluff to the third speed bump, turns around and heads back. Partner 2 runs down Raintree to the stop sign at Four Mile Creek, turns around and heads back. When the partners meet, 10 jump squats. Flap jack directions. Keep repeating this until 06:05. Head back to the launch the way we came, but make a pit stop at Rising Meadows. This is where the mumblechatter/refusnicking begins. Nothing too crazy with the workout though. Run forward up the hill to the first street light then turn around and run backward to the next street light. Easy jog down. Repeato one more time. Run back to the launch. Done.
Naked Moleskin
Good work today men. Running these hills is not the most pleasant experience, but it surely has to help with BRR. The weather was very much welcomed this morning. It is just a tease, but at least we are that much closer to fall. Thanks Purple Haze for the take out.

Things I thought whilst Fast Twitching:
– I’m going to be late. If they already left, I’m going home. Just made it.
– Why am I in the front of the group on the warmup run? Must be the cool weather.
– My veteran smarts paid off – always stand near someone you want to partner with when the group stops. Hello, Ironsides. Goodbye, Semi-Gloss.
– I think the Raintree leg will suck less, so I’ll volunteer to do that first in case we don’t have time to do both legs twice.
– [After turning around at the top of the Raintree hill] Where are the guys who I thought were slower than me? Why isn’t anyone behind me?
– [At the meeting point] It would be rude to Ironsides for me to keep moving, I’ll just wait here.
– Haze keeps getting faster. I miss slow Haze.
– Where are the Raintree drivers going in such a hurry? There must be free food somewhere.
