At Least It Wasn’t Humid!

The following is posted on behalf of Buttermaker who came out swingin’ for his inaugral Q at FastTwitch:

24 men (and Swayze) showed up this morning to sweat it out

The Thang:  Bypassed the traditional warm up….hit the disclaimer and headed out to 51 for about a 3/4 jog up to Raintree.

Suicides down a dark dead end street that ended up being about 1 mile in distance

Regrouped and headed to the far side of Windbluff:

  •      10 merkins
  •      run to the bottom for 10 more merkins
  •      top of Windbluff for 10 more merkins
  •      back down for 10 merkins
  •      back up for a final 10 merkins

Parntered up for a friendly game of Catch Me if You Can:

  •     Took this down Windbluff before turning on Shallowood for a bit of a hill and ended at Providence Road
  •      Repeated back to the far side of the Windbluff hill

Headed back to the dreaded dead-end for a last round of suicides that we didn’t get to completely finish due to timing

Hit 51 for the last 3/4 mile run back to where it all began

All said and done, all got in just below or just above 6 miles and a good amount of merkins.  Strong effort by everyone on yet another humid morning.  Nothing out of the ordinary to report…TL assumed the lead basically right out of the gate, Tiger Rag yet again boycotted any and all activities that wasn’t running, and Swayze had his shirt off before Spackler even had time to break wind.  I appreciate the opportunity to lead for the first time and look forward to the opportunity to do it again.

 

Announcements:

 

Southern Discomfort this Saturday.  Ping Spackler if you want to meet up for the 10 mile option.

Just realized Buttermaker got past his VQ without having to cadence count anything. I’m not sure it really counts then, does it?

Great VQ Buttermaker – didn’t even notice the lack of cadence count. Great job getting us over 6 miles while keeping the pax together.
