Down Up Down Up Down Up

SUMMARY

• Bunch of schweatty pale colored fellers, (mostly) followed a yeller-feller at 0515 at Fast Twitch. It was so awesome. YHC didn’t write the names down, but you know who you are.

THANG

• 0515 and it’s Go Time!
• AYG from Charlotte Latin launch to Berkeley. R on Alexa, all the way to the bottom of the hill (~1.5miles), L on Oak Pond Circle, and immediate L up Derry Hill Pl.
• AMRAP that .2mi newly-named hill segment (50ft of elevation change) from crack in the road at the bottom to the curb at the top.
• Head back to launch at 0600, getting bak later than 0615 invalidates your stats.
• 35 Merkin ladder since we got back early (5 reg / 5 wide / 5 diamond / 5 offset right / 5 offset left / 5 R leg high / L leg high)
• FINITO!

MOLESKINE

Well, you know it’s bad when you have to switch Q dates with Benny, that’s a 25 minute conversation for a 10 second ask. Threw out my back a few weeks ago, and have had some trouble getting limber enough to un-fartsack. Mr. Brady also threw out his back, but he’s turning 60, and he’s been used to letdown for some time #libido. Would have liked a more creative workout, but concerns over keeping up with the PAX were real. So we did some hill training, to totally hurt whoever ran Horsey yesterday, and to help all zero people training for BRR get some elevation work in… YHC had 860ft elevation over 11 laps. Hey, we could have ran around the track like a bunch of drunks at Swift over and over…. oh wait, that’s the beer mile Friday.

So we ran a hill AMRAP in Berkeley and tried not get lost, as Purple-Fletch mentioned always happens. Maybe it’s because home-boy took off with Astro for a little bonding detour before hitting the main event.

Rosie lapped me at least twice, before he got bored and showed off his Goodwill shorts and 6 goatee hairs to the neighbors. He still crushed all of us, and so this segment, Derry Hill Place, shall be known as “The Rosie OD” from now on. Why? just wanted a honorable name with the word Rosie in it for the champ… nevermind that it’s short, wide, nothing pretty to look at, makes you want to throw up, and to get there you need to go down on Alexa.

Gummy probably didn’t register any Strava segments this morning for stopping at the manhole cover each time. Hope that teaches you a lesson for not running 2.6feet further.

Oh, and paintball is cancelled #shocker . It will be rescheduled later on, so it can be cancelled once again due to lack of interest. Want to not sign-up again? Talk to Poptart.

So, if we ever do this again. you can try to beat the # of repeats you got today… or not. The record stands at 14 I think? Whatever Rosie did and what Alf didn’t. Tolkien Out.

YHC would say thanks for allowing me to lead, but that would be untrue. No-one else wanted the Q and Purell was freezing breast milk at home. Tolkien out.

TAP

• On a serious note please keep Goonie, his sister, her baby and the whole family in your prayers, and even speak a minute to reach out to him to let him know you’re thinking about them. They are dealing with a tough medical situation at the moment.
