Preblast: #F3DevilsTurn – Headed back to the “Danger Zone”

Preblast: #F3DevilsTurn – Headed back to the “Danger Zone”

So last time we tried this route, Stump Hugger busted his knees and contracted Hungarian body rot.  With the kinks now worked out, we will head back to the scene of the crime and show it who’s boss.  The hills on this section of road are great for the long grinding hills of the BRR.

The basic plan will be to start from the greenway parking lot at the corner of Rea Rd. and Bevington Place at 5:15 am.  We will then head north on Rea Rd and cross over 51 until the 1 mile warmup is complete.  Then it will be on like donkey kong.

(No relation to the creator of the A51 mudrun trophy or the GoRuck Heavy finisher.  It is used here simply because it sounds good.  This concludes the legal speak.)

For the duration of the 1 hour workout, the PAX will run north and south on Rea Rd. between 51 and Colony.  For ~4 miles, it is once down and back.  For ~6 miles, it is twice down and back.  We then make our way back to the start ideally fully satisfied with the hills and valleys of this section of Rea Rd.
