Despite the well-publicized warning of hill repeats, a healthy quorum of 18 pax still enjoyed a hillful morning…
The Thang:
After a stiff warmup mile down to Rea/51, 20 merkins to start.
Run up Rea to entrance of Five Knolls, turn in and race to bottom
Pause for plank, mary, and MCs at bottom of main hill
- 20 merkins at bottom, run to top – all the way to Macdera Glen
- 19 merkins at top, run to bottom, 18 merkins, run to top
…continue…
- 3 merkins at top, run to bottom, 2 merkins, run to top
- 1 merkin at top
Mary while waiting for rest of pax to arrive
Mosey to front of Whitegate on 51. Return to SCMS, with a few more merkins on the way back.
COT
Mileage: 6.2
Merkins: 250 (if you did them all)
Moleskine:
- Returning to classic Fast Twitch style this week, with roughly even mix of flat running, hills, and body weight exercises, namely merkins
- A few men made it all the way through the sequence – Bout Time, Rachel, maybe another? YHC was ready to call it a little early to allow time for return, but was egged on by Alf, so eventually got them all in
- It looked like the rest came close, getting 18-19 laps each – nice push up the hills
- Due to the delay in posting this backblast, YHC can attest that the pain from this one stuck around a couple days
- Thoroughly enjoy Qing FastTwitch. HT to Purple Haze and Rachel for the opportunity to lead
