Area 51 AO Sampler

Area 51 AO Sampler

17 (incl 1 FNG) Early Birds left the comfort of their fartsacks for a brisk run down 51 with a few stops along the way. It was below freezing and 5:15am – it was time to start moving.
It went a little something like this…
Looked like a solid veteran crew this morning – Didn’t see any FNG’s – so a disclaimer was given and away we went.

Moleskin:
This was my first post at FastTwitch in quite a while and my first F3 Post since the Christmas Eve convergence where I caught some kind of respiratory virus that got the best of me for two weeks. That being said – it was a great pleasure to be back at FastTwitch and to see so many of this group that have become noticeably faster over the past few weeks. Too many to name, but these guys are getting after it on Tuesday mornings.
Weather was a little on the cool side, but nothing like the polar vortex of last year, so We warmed up quickly and tried to keep it moving the full hour. Noticeably missing from the Davie Park Plankarama was SlimFast who had apparently spotted an FNG in the lineup (who I thought was Dora in the dimly lit parking lot) w/out gloves and took it upon himself to run back to his car and get an extra pair for FNG Si. With the rest of the pax on their way to TheRock, I set out to meet SlimFast and run w/him back to the next stopping point. We high tailed it to the covered benches and joined the pax. Huge thanks to SlimFast who volunteered to run with FNG Si for the remainder of this mornings workout. With a distance of 5.5Miles and some body weight exercises sprinkled in, seemed like mission was accomplished. The Pax were running hard today as many are gearing up to their 5k 10k or double down at the Joe Davis Run this weekend. Based on today’s efforts, area51 will be very well represented.
Looking forward to posting at FastTwitch more frequently in 2015.
