The Hendrix

“Short” workout, so “short” backblast. YHC came into the lot playing “All along the Watchtower”. Only High Tide. No offense, bro, but that was disappointing. He ran in, which was the dumbass thing I did that led to a month on IR. Anyway, we got after it. Stated goal of a 6:30 opening mile declared, we were off. And it went about like you’d expect after a month on IR. Wheezed my way to a 6:48. Ugh. Fortunately the stated goal pushed High Tide to tie his PR on the HT mile.

Behind the school, we went into a modified version of the original pre-blast. HT went 15 pull-ups and no Burpees. At least for a couple rounds. Then we both audibled to 10 pull-ups and 5 Burpees. We kept the 20 dips, derkins, squats piece of the equation.

HT says he hit 80 pull-ups, which puts us at about seven sets of each #math. Then we ran the HT mile again. I tried to run with High Tide, which awkwardly never worked out as intended. Might be the slowest mile in awhile, but foot made it out ok, which was goal #1 for today.

Oh, and Daisy made an appearance.  Newsflash, he actually works for Board of Elections.  Who knew?

Last thing, High Tide is looking for advice on neon yellow or neon green for a new A51 shirt #crowdsourcing.  No word on whether the alien survived.  Sound off in the comments.

Strong work sharpening iron yesterday. It’s tough with a small crew but it sounds like you kept each other honest. Kirk, I’d love to run a “disappointing” 6:48, particularly after a month on IR. And if you’re looking to keep the mileage down, let me be the first to cordially invite you to Meathead, Area 51’s only 0.0 workout. Elizabeth Lane Elementary, 5:30 on Thursday.

Thanks for the push, Kirk. Yeah, 6:48 would not be disappointing for me either, Voodoo. Was good to push it on the opening mile, but after the heat/humidity, just had nothing left on the closing mile. The run in/out may not have been my best idea either…

Hi-vis official Area 51 running shirts are ready! Order by 6/22. http://f3.mudgear.com/collections/newest/products/f3-area-51-reflective-shirt-pre-order
