Clark, That’s The Gift That Keeps On Giving The Whole Year
Much like the anticipation of opening gifts under the tree, what gifts would Slim Fast bring to the Goats of Mountain Goat. Was it Gold, Frankincense, or Myrrh? Was it the Jelly of the Month Club?? No… something that would last longer into the year, and would be appreciated in August and September…. hill repeats in Raintree!! Ahhh…. nothing says the Holidays like trudging up Raintree Ln multiple times… much like Santa and his Reindeer!
The workout was simple:
- Slow jog to the bottom of Raintree by RCC; dynamic stretching in the overflow parking by 18th hole.
- i-Pace or better from the speed bump to the stop sign at Four Mile Creek; recover back to the speed bump; rinse and repeat x3… 4 total
- Mosey back to SCMS… DONE!
Total of about 4.75 miles covered. Excellent!
Moleskin
Not as many miles, but definitely quality over quantity! That is a deceptively hard little climb… approx. 400M+ in 2 stages… Stage 1 hits you in the face… and Stage 2 is Rashambo!!
Of course, Purell showed no sign of effort in the hills… He reminds me of The Kings hit “Switchin’ to Glide”!! Smooth!!
Sensei was giving a ton as well… I know he wasn’t feeling 100%, but still managed to keep close to his time from the summer pre-BRR, meaning he hasn’t lost much of a step! Strong as always!
Retread was grinding out his normal 100% effort, as was Insomniac. Both were getting to the top consistently.
Gullah and Drano were giving 100% as well! Strong from both of them!
Such a blessing for me to spend with you guys each week. Thanks for making it a part of your weekly routine!
