Wet soggy miles!

This morning was a fairly typical summer morning as 21 pax showed up in the gloom to Fast Twitch. Not much sleep last night as although I’ve had the privilege to Q in the past – this was my VQ for Fast Twitch. My only concern was not getting lost.

The thang-
Leave the AO and head down Woodfox Dr towards Rounding Run Rd. Upon on arrival – we circled up and did 20 Merkins in cadence. Partner up – P1 goes around Rounding Run to the right and P2 goes around Rounding Run to the left. Meet back at the stop sign and do 25 Merkins. Rinse and Repeat 3 more times. Run back to AO and head down to track. Run same exercise w partner on outside lanes and do 25 Merkins when we finish. Rinse and repeat 1 more time. Mosey to goal line and line up for 100 yrd gassers. Rinse and repeat 2 more times. Mosey back to parking lot.

Great work by everyone! Battling through the elements is not easy and everyone worked hard.

Few observations…
Spackler’s comment of the day came as we went down to the track and he said “I just realized that if you run around the outside lane it takes longer than if you run on the inside lane!” Well done Spackler!

Alf went full on Run Stopper losing the shirt pretty quickly. I though there would be some issues when we made our way to the coed track/field but he seemed to behave himself.

Poor semigloss was not even there to defend himself as stories were told how he fell on a golf ball at the beach and injured his scrotum. Not a pretty sight!

Shout out to Good Hands for working tirelessly week after week! Does not back down from a challenge!

Never had to plug that one in my TI-82. Point is now proven that I never WAS and STILL am not a #runner.

Good stuff today Header. If you would have called another loop around Rounding Run there would have been mutiny.

Did anyone else notice how our pace (even though we were all beat from Rounding Run) got much more upbeat once we got to the track and 30 tomatoes were present? Don’t deny it…..I know what I saw…and did!

Not normally a shirtless runner but the air on rounding run was just stifling. I was hoping to start a trend, but no one followed. Maybe next time.

Was also not excited about all the merkins but it played to my advantage being all shirtless and swole when we hit the track with the RFYL ladies. #DadBody

Man, that was brutal. I’ve been tempted to come out to FT for a while but finally made the trip today, it seemed all I needed was a the challenge/dare from Purple Haze. I’ve run with many of you at other sites but seeing you today was at another level and definitely motivating. Thanks men for pushing me through it. I’ll be back for more.

Definitely not a runner as I probably would have been better prepared to avoid the chaffing and raw nipples…

Header, great Q today brother. I’m proud that you don’t know how to spell my name. #KeepYourManCard
