Leading from Behind: Part Deux

Leading from Behind: Part Deux

13 men showed for a post-BRR repat (look it up).  The route had minimal hills, which was welcome, and the temp was a brisk 53, which was also very welcome.

The Thang:

Quick disclaimer that I was neither a professional nor a fast runner, and that I was going to need to solicit help from Mr. Brady and the rest of the up-front gang to get us where we need to be, and off we went.

Warm up mosey to Davie Park for COP

IW x 12 (for the Q to count the pax)

Enough COP

Run 1.2 miles up 51 to Calvary, turning in at the second 51 entrance and following the road around to the top of the Rea entrance.

At Calvary – Run back towards 51 and do 5 CDDs at the last speed hump, return and do 5 merkins.  4 laps of this increasing the exercises by 5 each lap. Each lap was about ½ mile.  LBCs, Flutters, Plank to wait for the 6.  At least that’s what the Q instructed, not sure if it actually happened, as the Q was among the 6.

Run back to 51 and 1.15 miles to the Davey Park entrance.  Mary to wait for the 6 was intended but the Q forgot to make this clear.  Brief plank work while the rest the 6 arrived and off for the last .65 miles back to the school.

Done.

Moleskine:

A small crowd today by Fast Twitch standards, I’m sure a few guys are still recovering from the BRR.  The plan was to try to keep the rabbits from getting too far ahead of the Q, which was mostly accomplished. Not too many long distances at one time, which led to some good fellowship chatter among the pax.  I did notice the chatter quieted down a bit on the run back from Calvary, leading me to turn around and make sure the rest of the 6 was still with me.

A little Site VQ hazing was attempted but as a former athlete and fraternity member, I’ve been hazed, and it was amateur hour!  Nice try anyway, men.

Great work by everyone today.  Garmin says 5.91 miles were covered, Siri says 6.07, and 50 merkins and CDDs each were done.  #nosoccerarms

Flutie Flakes – thank you for the take out.  Well done.  Great to hear your daughter is home and doing well.

Announcements:
