A Rogue workout?
11 men of south charlotte either did not know of #speedvergance, decided to post knowing of the #sv or a few deciding they were not Nascar’s but more Formula one racers. Either way, YHC decided to take the keys from the site Q, put the car in neutral and back it down the driveway. Once on the street, we smoked the tires and here is how it went…
The Thang
Warm up run from South Charlotte Middle to Rain Tree Rd (.75 miles). Turn left on Windbluff and make a stop at the top of the second hill (past the road hump at the bottom).
We now had our spot for 7’s, hill top to hill top (each round trip was .6 miles)
Start with 6 merkens at the top of Windbluff and 1 squat/ jump squat (can’t remember what I called vs what I did).
Gather at the corner of Windbluff and Rain Tree 20 merkens and LBC while the 6 comes in. Also a Gummy 10 count (IW)
From there we rain to the intersection of Rain Tree and 4 mile road (.7 miles) 20 merkens and LBC’s while we wait for the 6. Another Gummy 10 count
Sprint (AYG) from 4 mile road to the bottom parking lot on the left (.35 miles) 20 merkens and LBC’s while waiting for the 6.
Run from the lot up to Hwy 51 (.75 miles) 20 merkens and LBC’s waiting for the 6
Take Hwy 51 back to South CLT Middle home (.75) 20 merkens and DONE!
Ye Old Moleskin:
– I started by saying we went Rogue, but 11 guys showed. So I think this one goes in the books as an official workout and the #speedvergance, well…it’s gummy’s job to decide where those #’s go.
– Pleasure to take steal the reigns this AM. I have never Q’d Fast Twitch, so I spend most of last night looking at maps trying to find the worst “highlights” of Rain Tree. Hope you liked it. Much more tolerable of a workout knowing what kind of suck lies ahead!!
– Sorry Alf, I know you would have taken this one today, but sounds like there will be plenty of time to do a fly by of Skunk Works while they are such close neighbors on Tuesdays.
– If you are not wearing a GPS, the Mid pack and 6 did 6 miles today. Mr Brady probably got a few more rounding up the 6, keeping everyone together.
– Again, I am not sure why this week was selected as a #speedvergence, but here are my ideas:
1) Frasier is tired of splitting up joint custody and just wanted Swift and Fast Twitch to hang out for the morning….no fighting please
2) Bratwurst missed all of his FT buddies
3) Some guys just LOVE running in circles
4) I might have missed the BRR leg that is flat
– All kidding aside, I promise to try to become a better runner one day and I know Bratwurst is the guy to do that, just not 16 days before BRR
– I am amazed to see 3 drivers become BRR runners this year. Kudos to Semi Gloss, Geraldo and new to the line up High Tide!
– Thanks Mr Brady for taking us out

Speedvergance today…..#RIP

What have I gotten myself into?! I was so O2 deprived that the first time you called for a “Gummy 10 count”, I looked around for Gummy to give a 10 count, thinking to myself “I didn’t even know Gummy was here.” (he wasn’t) Then, I topped it off with a HC to BRR… It’s all downhill (uphill?) from here…
So you signed up today….Alf is sneaky! But if he did not get you, I am sure he would have begun to pull guys from our team.
You’ll do fine. I believe Alf said, “you did 6 miles today, you can do it”. I also believe he has some “land” in Florida that is “close” to the water.
A Gummy 10 count (IW in cadence) was created at Hydra. I like it as you do get to catch your breath and do Imperial Walkers. I can see how that would confuse the Pax, sorry!
