That time when we ran trails in the dark….

That time when we ran trails in the dark….

One of the best-kept secrets of @F3Area51 is the #F3Peak51 AO. There are So Many opportunities for challenging (sometimes painful) fun in one area. Today, we hit the trail, ran the 4 mile creek greenway, did some sprints and ran some circuits. All along the way listening to a symphony of crickets/birds and rippling water to score our struggle in the 95%+ humidity swim meet.

What an absolutely beautiful, dreadful morning to run 2.76 miles and do some serious muscle cell organelles breakdown! The satellite cells should be flying all day in a hypertrophy party. Let the growth begin.

I’m not sure I heard any chatter past 5:35 other than various indiscriminant creative language descriptors of said trail and zero visibility conditions. (other than a few HL’s)

Great to have Retread (site FNG) with us. Strong player out there in the gloom.

Slimfast always blows YHC away. He’s running BRR tmrw and yet he’s out there at the front of the pack the entire day. Btw….. best of luck and prayers to all the BRR brothers out there this wknd.

It was great to see Booya back at the Peak and props to SwissMiss for doing a solo pre-run.

Everyone displayed great effort today. It’s always a pleasure to lead leaders. Thanks to Slim and Geraldo for the opportunity.

*Keep an eye out for EOThirst coming to WWC in October*
