18 dudes made a questionable decision and posted at #F3FastTwitch this morning. Rain tapering off made for a humid, dark jaunt through Raintree. Preblast posted yesterday laid out the plans for what was in store. No shortage of hills, mileage, or suck. #transparency
Tha Thang:
Warmup pace down Woodfox. Left on Rounding Run. Right on Raintree Ln.
COP at gravel lot – token merkins, squats, whatever… on to the fun stuff
Afterburners engaged, up Raintree towards providence
Rendezvous at 4-way stop (Raintree Ln/4 Mile Creek)
Mosey down #4MC to Whitethorn (blinking light)
Suicides up #4MC (AYG on the uphill)
A few of us did some plank-o-rama until the 6 rolled in.
Mosey back down Raintree Ln
Quick COP again at the gravel lot for 3 or 4 merkins
Onward down Raintree Ln towards 51.
Mosey down Windbluff, AYG up backside, stop at Shallowood, about face
Mosey back down Windbluff, AYG up to Raintree Ln.
Record speed indian run back to campus
6.24 miles, as promised

-@Gerber and @Brady led the charge this morning.
-Heads up, A51- Gummy is making the rounds to subtly let everyone know the tiggers are on top. Looking like a powderpuff schedule remaining. Looks like #TheyreIn
– Raintree streets named after Caribbean islands doesn’t fit the 70s brady bunch theme.
-#4MC is a monster. #4MC x 3 was a real kick below the belt.
-Lots of dudes got points for leading a lap. Something about “clean air” up front. @Joker wasn’t there today, so not really sure what they meant
-Seemingly no takers on the modifications #strong, or the Strava segments #weak
-Pretty sure this’ll be the last time I’m invited to Q FT again. As usual, twas a real pleasure.
-TClaps to the site chaplain for a meaningful takeout.
Announcements:
-Convernence tomorrow (11/11) for Veteran’s Day at Anvil – 0530. @Gloss has the hairburners station. Quotes: “Worth the price of admission!” “Come for the show!”
-Joe Davis Run 1/9/16
-Christmas party 12/12 – Sardis Swim Club
