Fast Twitch Fun Run

We had a large group come out this morning for the Preblast warning of the Fast Twitch Fun Run. 23 in all showed up for the event. This was a pretty straight forward workout. We did two laps around the parking lot doing butt kickers and high knees. Of course there was some complaining.

Once the warm up complete and Haze had given me grief for not splitting custody between Swift and Fast Twitch the plan was laid out. The Pax was instructed to run there 5k race pace for each Fun Run. At the end of the run you were to come back and catch the six. After the six completed their segment we rested for one minute sometimes holding plank.

We ran from the school to the Raintree country club parking lot for the first segment.

From the country club to the four way blinking light on four mile creek was the second segment.

From the blinking light up four mile creek towards Ballantyne Commons Parkway to the next four way stop sign. Then we made the turn home following the same segments with one minute rest in between.

Once we were back at the school and had fully recovered we did another out and back down Strawberry Ln. You ran your 5k pace for three minutes. Once time was called you turned around and headed back to the school.

Done!

NM: Have to cut it short this morning. Long day with an early start. I appreciate the opportunity to lead Fast Twitch. It is one of the best workouts we have. Everyone seemed like they pushed hard. The idea of going out so far is that you have to run back at a similar pace to get in on time. Mission accomplished. The usual guys were up front i.e. Gerber, Hairball, Turkey Leg and Alf. #FreeRange had good representation today with Hops making his continued recovery push. Haze was always in the top eight after each segments #consistent. Strawberry despite putting the tweet out the night before about not getting killed did an excellent job going up and down the hills.

Great work men and good job supporting one another.

Announcments: Fast Twitch is at the Jay M. Robinson track next week. If you come to the school you will have a long run to catch those guys.

Fast Five May 21st 4:00 at Fort Mill H.S. Five guys run two and a half laps on the track. You need one respect or a 200 pounder. Great event and Fast Twitch should be represented.

That is all! Have a great Tuesday.

Don’t you ever forget where you came from Frasier. We were pushing you up those hills before Swift was even a twinkle in Brat’s eyes.

Solid Q. I hurt the whole time.

I think we have two very different definitions of “fun run”.

Fastest BB turn time ever!!! Good one Frasier.

Strawberry

Thanks for the props Frazier. I would probably describe myself as “struggling” up and down the hills, but I appreciate your ‘glass half full’ praise. I’ll continue to post fast twitch as long as everyone doesn’t mind me being the sandbag six.
