It takes a village (to Q a Bratwurst workout)

It takes a village (to Q a Bratwurst workout)

At 5:15 am in the Vine parking lot, 14 men shuffled about expectantly awaiting Bratwurst’s entrance (on two wheels).  Alas, that did not occur and YHC suggested we leave him for dead and try to recreate something resembling a 2-1-30 interval workout through Ballantyne CC.  After engaging the brain trust, we determined which way we were to circle the CC, and off we went.

After a 0.86 mi warmup mosey, a few dynamic stretches were pursued and a jaunt up Ben Nevis completed the preparation for the main event.  At the entrance of Ballantyne CC, group think was again implemented to determine the proper rest periods for the intended 2-1-30 intervals.  This was determined to be 1-30-30 respectively and we were off on the first 2:00 interval at I-pace.

The intervals were tough but there were No Scrubs in the group.  The PAX stayed together by circling back for the 6 during the rest periods so no one had to say What About Your Friends.  At Johnston Rd, the group split with options for 1 mi and 2 mi (Red Light Special) to get back to COT.  The 2 mi group overestimated their prowess and came back a bit late.

Mr. Bean, Hard Hat, and Abacus looked fully drenched upon returning to the parking lot.  This means that full effort was given on the intervals and they were absolutely killing it.  Remember Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls brothers.

Dolphin is continuing his comeback tour and after only a week is hitting his stride again.  It is great to have him out on the circuit again.  That’s how you Kick Your Game.

Rock Thrill was pushing the pace as usual and had a slick head covering to hold the head lamp on.  YHC will need to check into this clothing as well since we share the same hair style.  This doesn’t make us seem Unpretty though, instead this is CrazySexyCool.

Wingman was on the watch today and was also the official phone carrier out there.  Das da Way We Like ‘Em though.  Keeping us on time and safe.

Madam Tussaud was fast as usual and had good suggestions for the group think effort.  The number of miles this guy is putting down are going to have him destroying the mudrun circuit in no time.

Stump Hugger and Spinner were easing into the intervals again and looking stronger.  This is How It Should Be Done.  Push on brothers.

Soft Pretzel and Haggis were leading the pack today and were Good at Being Bad (but in a good way).  Keep up the pace brothers.

Upon reaching the parking lot.  Bratwurst eventually strolled in.  After arriving at 5:40 for the workout, he proceeded to have his own workout.  It may be time for a new alarm clock to Shock Dat Monkey.

Good times brothers.  If you have seen The Other Guys, you may see what I did there.
