A good turnout for a humid after-rain morning in the Fast Twitch gloom. Neon yellow and pasty-white were the colors of the day. Others wore shirts. No new faces, so a quick disclaimer with a pre-settlement including Haze’s Applebee’s shoes, and off we went.
The Thang:
Quick mosey (thank you to whoever pointed out the contradiction in terms) to Raintree & Windbluff for a circle-up and for YHC to count the PAX via IWs.
Merkins x 10
IW x 19
The idea was to break up into 4 groups, going to each of 4 legs that were about a .6mi round trip from the Raintree/Windbluff intersection.
The 4 legs were:
Windbluff to the top of the hill – 10 merkins and back
Raintree Ln to the gravel lot – 10 flutters and back
Rounding Run to Rising Meadow – up the hill, 10 CDDs and back
Smokerise – 10 LBCs and back
We ended up in 2 groups, one much larger than the other, and after one rotation the Q decided to scrap Smokerise. Coming off a beach week and up about 10 summer lbs, there was no need for Smokerise.
Most got in 2 full rotations before congregating at the base of Rising Meadow to await further instructions from the Q (aka the 6).
Stop to plank at Woodfox before and all-you-got-left back to SCMS with stops for 10 merkins at Burning Tree and at Strawberry. Back on site at 6:13, YHC gave the PAX 2 minutes of their Tuesday back.
Strava shows a range of 5.0 for my fellow 6ers to 6.5 miles for the usual rabbits.
Moleskin:
Great work by everyone today. This workout looked a lot better on paper than in practice (maps look so darn flat!!), but we’re all now stronger for having done it.
Utah, TL and YHC had a close encounter with a deer on Rounding Run, with TL providing a warning of “DEER UP!!”
Announcements:
F3 Golf on 7/29. Fast Twitch is sponsoring the hilliest hole on the course for $100. (Swift is sponsoring the flattest). $5/man would more than exceed the goal, which you can bring to your next FT post.
July 4th convergence at SCMS – 7:00AM
Smokerise is hilly
Have a great week, everyone
