We Don’t Need No Stinking Shirts

Nineteen of F3’s toughest hombres gathered in the early gloom for their weekly dose of Fast Twitch pain.   TR had the music going and RS took his shirt off before we started – beating Hairball by 15 minutes.

The Thang:

COP – SSHX15, 5 churpees, Jumping LungesX15, 5 churpees

One warm up lap and head out.   5 churpees at each street light on Woodfox before heading over to Rising Meadow for churpee/jumping lunge suicides.   Run to 1st street lamp, 5 churpees, back to bottom for 10 jumping lunges, up to 2nd street lamp for 5 churpees, back to bottom for 10 jumping lunges, etc (hit 5 street lamps I think).

Mosey up  to Raintree Lane and then run all the way to Providence Road – turn around once the rabbits pass you and gather at playground parking lot to wait for the 6.   Run back up Raintree Lane to Windbluff and down to speed bump at bottom – Fletch led Six MofM till the 6 arrived.

Modified Jacobs Ladder – up to top and 1 churpee, back to bottom, up to top and 2 churpees, final lap and finish with 3 churpees (should have done 2 more rounds but Q was spent).

Mosey back to the school and finish with some plank work and merkins – Spackler started counting with 1 minute to spare but no one complained about being cheated out of the last minute.

Naked Moleskin:

We got a little stretched out this morning on the long run to Providence (You versus you on that one) but good mental training for BRR (dark and alone for a few miles).   Hairball asked for 6 miles and we came close at 5.3 but YHC likes short bursts with exercises (I know – they call that boot camp) so I tried to keep everyone happy (fail).

The usuals were out front (Mr. Brady, Bout Time, TL, Fletch) and a few stayed pretty close (Hairball, Prohibition, Alf).    The churpees got the best of me toward the end and called off the Jacobs ladder early – should have gone two more rounds but was afraid I would have to walk back if I did.

TR goes by the book – Fast Twitch says running workout on the web site so TR sticks to the schedule (avoided most if not all churpees and other exercises that did not involve running).

Great effort by all.

Announcement – Sign up for Southern Discomfort so the Q’s know how much hydration needs to be provided and also buddy up and form some car pools between end point and Cenutrion or the Vine (depending on your starting location).

As always, an honor and privilege to lead such a great group.

Good to see some #FreeRangeChickens out there this morning although some were noticeably missing. Time to run boys less than two months away.

Don’t try to cram for the BRR the way Hairball tried to cram for the half marathon trail run.

Truer words have never been uttered. Pretty much equivalent to opening the textbook for the 1st time the night before a final exam. #whatnottodo

As evidenced by GhostRunner last week, BRR preppers are using that Thursday night to get in running miles. Would suggest that continue, but also try to get in some pure intervals during the week. Could use fast twitch, swift, sib, or even DT.

Notably absent from #SpeedVergence today was anyone other than Frasier that normally attends FT. NEXT opportunity for #SpeedVergence will be August 18th. Location likely Providence Day School.

Might have looked half a&& to you but I was giving it atleast 75%. That is above average. Plus I was planning ahead to save some in the tank in case you called for the Native American run, an FT special, back to the school.
