If it ain’t broke…

26 Men decided they needed one last week of Fast Twitch punishment to get them primed for the BRR.  YHC, with limited notice of being tasked with the Q, decided not to be original and to recreate Turkey Leg’s Hills Of Pain from just a few weeks ago.  It was terrible then, and it was just as terrible today. Here’s out it went down:

Warm Up Mosey to Raintree Lane, down past the clubhouse to the very bottom of the hill by the gravel parking lot and speed hump.  From there give out the instructions for the Hills Of Pain:

Split into 2 groups.

Group 1 continue up Raintree Ln.  Take a right onto Four Mile Creek and run down to the bottom of the hill to the speed hump.  Perform Jump Squats. Run back to Raintree Ln speed hump.

Group 2 back up Raintree Ln.  Take a right onto Windbluff and run down to the bottom of the hill to the speed hump.  Perform Jump Squats.  Run back to Raintree Ln speed hump.

At Raintree Ln. speed hump, do 20 merkins.  Each group continue in other direction to complete 2nd half of lap.

That was one lap.  At bottom of the hills, the Jump Squats will increase with each lap: Lap 1 = 5. Lap 2 = 10. Lap 3 = 15. Frasier = 20.

Meet back at bottom of Raintree Ln at 0605 for Indian Run back to school.  At approximately 0605 just run back to the school.

That is all.

Moleskin:

Strong group of 26 out there today.  I think we are all ready for the BRR…or at least ready for it to be over.  Great work by everyone today.  I heard a few guys got in at least 7 miles, but I think everyone got at least 6 or so.  Frasier disappeared into the darkness and there is no telling how many miles he put in.  Chelms ran off before YHC was finished giving very detailed and long winded instructions.  I don’t know why.  After that, I don’t really know who all did what out there this morning since we were all spread out.  Just a big group of fast people coming in all directions, including a very well-lit Alf.  I do know that Fletch was flying, Turkey Leg had to bowel out towards the end (see what I did there?), Baracus swears I was almost catching Frasier, Hairball traded his Borat suit for a Marty McFly Jr. hat, Horsehead ran so strong he couldn’t talk, nobody seemed to hear me about meeting back at 0605 at the bottom of Raintree, Mr. Brady is ridiculously fast, Spackler refusniked on all the exercises per usual, and I hope we don’t have to do that one again for a very long time.

Kotters to Purple Haze, assistant to the Site Q.  We missed you and are glad to have you back.  Thanks for the great takeout.  You looked strong out there.  So strong.

Announcements:

Area 51 Kick Off to Football Game this Saturday at Olympus.  Check the schedule to see what workouts are still open and/or closed.

Purple Haze will decide on his own whether or not Fast Twitch will be hard or a taper next week.

Last time I checked there weren’t going to be any stops at the BRR to do merkins. I was fine missing out on the total of the 30 that you did.

I didn’t get hit by a car, so I’m calling the pre-BRR vest/headlamp dry run a success.

Alf, you were a large light with a runner attached. From now on, at least to me, you are Alf aka Electric Horseman.

Not going to lie. I was a little nervous when I saw a plane line up for a landing approach right in front of me.

Unlike all the knuckle heads in the group, I only need to hear the directions once (married 22 years will do that to a man). Plus, I figured I’d just do whatever Spackler was going to do(wise old man plan – #knewhewouldrefusnik).
