#F3Swift – 656 yards is Far

#F3Swift – 656 yards is Far

A record 15 SoBs and PAX affiliates set off from the Vine restaurant at 0515 this fine cool, damp, breezy morning.  Probably felt just like Scotland, but Haggis was still sleeping off a 50K.

The THANG:

• 1mi 2nd F mosey.  ~0.5mi toes, heels, bounding, high knees, butt kicks, and strides between “stop” lights.
• 200m @ 1mi Race Pace (a.k.a. Repetition Pace or “R” pace from the calculator at http://runsmartproject.com/calculator); 200m jog recovery
• 200m @ R-pace; 400m jog recovery
• 600m @ R-pace with final 3rd uphill; 400m jog recovery
• Repeato for 2 more rounds of 200,200,600.
• Cooldown about 0.5mi back to COT
• Plank for 20 seconds.  DONE!
• Total miles – between 5 and 6 according to PAX’s Strava recordings – https://www.strava.com/activities/252949176 and https://www.strava.com/activities/252948891 and https://www.strava.com/activities/252940958

Moleskin:

• Using the hill during the 600 was a easy prescription for #TBQ or #MerlotSplash.  Several PAX were close, but not sure there was conclusive video evidence.
• Speaking of such, welcome back (?) Mighty Mite (War Baby)!  Pretty sure this vet of a BRR has posted at Swift before, but like many other PAX chose the #RedPill and pushed it at #Swift.  Dude isn’t even doing the MudRun #Superbowl due to an excused absence, but maybe he’ll use this to take the #DRP and post at the Spartan post-excused absence.
• Silk landed on the ground this morning after repeatedly jumping from flying objects (#AFAIK) and mixed it up with the SoBs at #Swift for the first time.  Well done mate!
• Outback, finally feeling as sprite as a kangaroo from his native (sic) country, tore up the field.
• Honeybee (who has been #MIA) was putting Gunny under constant pressure all morning.  Think they now know the sound of approaching feet and when to push just a little harder.
• Metric conversion 600m = 656 yards.  It IS further.  There’s the proof!
• Who had on the 3 inch heels this morning?  All YHC remembers is looking down at shoes, and several had these platform-type shoes on… cushy, comfortable, or sloppy?
• Spinner and Stump Hugger had a running dialogue this morning that the rest of the PAX were not invited to, but kept pushing the pace in their own little bubble. Something about skull and crossbones, but #gettingstronger
• Several PAX were whining about TR’s doubles at #Foxhole the previous day.  Way to post today knowing what was in store!  YHC knows that you’ll be at the Maul or Dromedary tomorrow, too.
• Next week builds on last week.  Come out for something different in a pyramid of sorts.
