Christmas Hills

Christmas Hills

Five men worked off their Christmas dinners climbing hills on Five Knolls this morning.

The Thang:

Launch from lot (picking up one straggler coming in at 5:16), and head to Davie Park for brief COP with IWs.  Continue on past Rea to Five Knolls White Gate entrance, to the big hill and regroup at bottom.

Ladder:  Run up Five Knolls north to manhole, one squat, back to bottom by gallows, one burpee, up Five Knolls south to Macdara, one merkin, back down to gallows, one burpee.  Continue 5-7x, adding on 1x each time.

Return:  Take Five Knolls up to Rea, Rea to 51, 51 down past Davie, back to Stawberry.  Leaders loop back for 6 at each point.

Mileage: 6-7

Moleskine:

• One last trip to the Knolls for 2016.   Needed to work-off the gargantuan amounts of food and beer that has been consumed in the in-law filled household.  Figured heavy hill work at the Knolls would do the trick.
• Started with four in the lot, but were greeted by Icicle coming in on two wheels at 5:16, along with Fireman Ed, who apparently was lost (something about being up since 4am).
• Keeping the Pax together was challenging today, with Frasier up in front, but managed to do so with a slight weinke modification and creation of a Knolls loop.
• Frasier was on fire out there – new CR on the Knolls downhill.  Nice job!
• Kudos to Margo for making it out with a rough chest cold – I think he may have left one of his lungs out on the course.  Feel better Margo!
• Best of luck to all in upcoming races (New Years 17K and Joe Davis)!

Announcements:  We’re putting together the Q list for 2017, please reach out to TL or Purple Haze to be included in the upcoming schedule

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
