Northern Territory

19 Men headed out into the dark and rain (again) to take the road less traveled at Fast Twitch.

The Thang:

Run out of school and head East down 51.  Stop after half mile and do 20 Squats OYO.  Run.

Short COP at Arboretum with Imperial Walkers and Romanian Dead Lifts.  Realize balance is a significant gap in skills with many of the PAX.

Cross at the traffic light and down Arboretum View Rd.  Wait, What, Where?

Hard pace down Arboretum View to the end.  .5 mile-ish.  Plank for the six.

Around the large obstruction in the street which apparently separates the haves from the have something else’s in the neighborhood.  Not sure why it’s there but no cars are getting around it.

Take a right down Swan’s Run Rd and then a Right on Swan Meadow (or maybe Amanda?) I don’t know. The “Google” and the street sign said 2 different things.  Gather at the corner of the big U shaped loop for the main event.  Run 1 mile pace around the U (⅓ mile).  Slow mosey recovery jog across top of U back to the start.  Repeat for about 20 minutes.  Most got 5-7 laps.

Run back to big obstruction.  All you got back down Arboretum View to 51 then run at your own pace back to SCMS.

COT:

Mall cop joined us after showing up a bit late and searching high and low in Rain Tree for us.  Does that make it 20?  Not sure.  Thanks to Flutie Flakes for the take out.

The wet and pruned moleskine:

A little something different for the Fast Twitch crew.  I don’t think we have ever been back that way on  a workout.  Thanks to Purple Haze for convincing most of Centurian that this was a solid workout.  Those guys seem to travel in packs.  I like it.  Remember when the old Centurian, Chelms, used to post at Fast Twitch?  Yeah, neither do I.  I figured I would get more heckling from the crew #Spackler for the change of venue.  My guess is the fast laps around Circles End Circle (Um, that is the name of the road?) kept everyone too out of breath to gripe.

Speaking of the Centurian crew, Mermaid loaded up 3 other guys in his #BRRVan for the ride home.  Does he start pickups at about 4:30 for this workout?

Welcome to FNG Brad (Mermaid’s neighbor).  Nicknamed “Utah”  We’re going to say that’s because his favorite movie is Point Break and favorite actor is Keanu Reeves.  At least that is the story we tell the families.

For the record:  This backblast is up before Turkey Leg’s backblast from yesterday’s Matrix.  Thanks.

HDHH:  Special edition this week.  Go to Turkey Leg’s house to move his furniture and drink his beer.

Anson County Launch this Saturday.  Clown car leaving from Sun Valley High School at 6:00AM to support the first workout at 7:00 AM at Anson County High School.  See Glass Joe for details.

Thanks to Flutie Flakes for a solid take out.

Always a privilege to lead the men at Fast Twitch.
