The Legend of Grandmother Mountain

The Legend of Grandmother Mountain

The shovel flag was planted and 9 men emerged in the cool, morning gloom to start their Friday the right way.  The Charlotte Christian venue offers a great variety of pain delivery methods, and we took advantage of some of the best as this brand new F3 workout enters it’s 3rd week.  Grandmother Mountain is quickly emerging as a legend among all F3 venues.

Mosey then jail-break back to parking lot

Moleskin:

• The O2 deprivation was high today, which kept the mumblechatter at a minimum today.  YHC brought a workout that was heavily laden with track work.  Not counting running up bleachers or Grandmother Mtn, we ran 1.75 miles on the track.
• Some of South Charlotte’s strongest runners showed up at Joust this morning, so YHC was relegated to the back through most of the running.  Seems like some don’t know the difference between a jog and a sprint.
• 100m lunge-walks never end.  A few groans when this was called on the track for the second time.
• There was definitely some chatter as YHC called for sevens on the hill.  Grandmother Mountain again lived up to expectations, evoking memories of the BRR.  She is quickly turning into legend.
• Great job by the pax all around today, and thanks to Stone Cold for giving me the opportunity to lead the pax today!

  Announcments:

• F3 Compass at Arbo Chick-fil-A immediately following workout
• Expect a date change for the Holiday Party.  Will either be 12/6, 12/7, 12/20, or 12/21.
