FT Option Run

Excited to lead my first “running” workout, I thought best to give the PAX some different options.  At 0515, 19 men – many half-naked – were given a quick disclaimer (no warm-ups as the PAX pointed out) and we moseyed into Raintree at the Four Mile Creek intersection.

Still no warm-up there as we had already gotten in 3/4 mile.  Instructions and run options were given and off went the PAX!  Here were the options:

4 miler— South on Four Mile Creek, left on Fairway Ridge (1st time you come to it), right on Four Mile Creek, right on Whitehorn, end at intersection of Raintree Rd.

5 miler— Same as 4 mile course, but continue by turning left on Raintree Rd and going back to the intersection of Four Mile Creek, right on Four Mile Creek to bottom of hill at apartments, then back to intersection of Raintree Rd and Whitehorn.

6 miler— Same as 4 mile course, then continue by making a left on Raintree Rd., another left on Four Mile Creek (same as initial start), left on Whitehorn, then finish at intersection of Raintree Rd.

Upon completion of your chosen course, mosey back to launch via Raintree Rd and Providence Rd and complete the following exercises (time permitting):

5 sets of 10 x 20 x 30 — merkins, squats, LBCs.

Moeleskin:

Really fast group!  YHC was hoping to keep some kind of pace with Purell by letting him blow by the first turn and then not tell him until he was at least 1/10 mile past it.  Well, that lasted for 2/10 mile and then he aptly left us in the dust.  BRR guys look strong and ready to take to the mountains!  I can’t believe  we didn’t hear a bunch of grumbling on Fairway Ridge — that incline just keeps going and going!

To not have been a “runner” for very long, Orange Whip is impressive out there.  He’s going to be a nice addition to his BRR team.  Mr. Brady was his usual self — leaving his pool of water at the end to signify that his work was done.  Turkey Leg is getting back close to 100% – I know from experience as he also passed YHC!  Was a pleasure meeting Astro, another sneaky fast runner.

One big challenge that I was not prepared for — how in the world do you recognize and take down the PAX’s names at the end?  I was not ready for the massive 35-person circle with the group from Hawk’s Nest.

As site-Q for Skunkworks, it’s rare that I get over to Fast Twitch.  However, I really enjoyed both the running and the group.  Thank you to Purell for the opportunity to lead.  I’ll definitely be back soon!
