30-40 cars showed up at SCMS this morning. Of those, 13 rolled in for a Ghost Runner-esque Raintree tour. Just a skosh of grumblechatter about the PB and we were off.

Notepad:
- Most guys took things serious this AM and put in work. FT is a gritty Tuesday option and it’s supposed to push you to your limits. If you left it all out there this morning, T-claps. If not, come back next week and ramp it up a notch.
- Pinot Grigot (or some crafty IPA) was spilled after the timed mile
- No idea how the timed mile turned out. Most guys had on watches and nearly everyone PR’ed the Strava segment, so it was in fact, timed.
- @Haze led the way
all morning, most of the way, for about 25 yards between Provi and 4MC. Serious note- the dude’s getting fast #FastTwitchSwag #HeGetsIt
- @SwishSwish really did lead the pack #shocker. Dropped a CR on the providence hill NBD and ran easily an extra mile scooping the six all morning.
- @Ironsides looked strong leading up to the CRBR on Saturday. Good luck brother
- @Huggie and @Utah – 2 other guys who get the #FTS mentality. These guys put in work week after week and it’s paying off.
- @Pro’s got guts too – not many guys posting on as little sleep as this guy
- Good seeing @Retread again making the right choice on a Tuesday
- @Babyfood was @Frasier’s shadow this AM. Crushed the mile hill with a strong pace all morning
- @Ickey strong work this AM – especially for a guy who typically throws around KBs heavier than @Frasier
- Didn’t recognize @Icicle this AM without his Gisele Brady hat out there
- Welcome, @Hannibal. Glad to have you out. Next time you’re in town on a Tuesday, come on back.
Pleasure to lead this AM, gents.
