Mountain Goats Tour Five Knolls

Mountain Goats Tour Five Knolls

21 Goats arrived at South Charlotte Middle School with permission slips signed by their Mommies so they could go on a field trip off-campus.  Humidity was high but bearable… typical June Friday at the Goat!

Plan was simple… head to Rea Road and a tour of Five Knolls… a Devil’s Turn and Fast Twitch staple.

1. Mosey to corner of Rea and 51.
2. Leaders went on to Five Knolls, the 6 caught up and all arrived at Five Knolls
3. Strange Brew led the Goats in some dynamic stretching
4. Instructions:  Run to the end of Five Knolls, then return
5. Rinse and Repeat until time, which is to regroup at Rea and 51 at 0600.
6. Return to Launch choosing a) return straight down 51 or b) take scenic route through Cary Ridge, Coburn and Strawberry.
7. DONE!

Excellent job!  Mileage 5-6.3 miles depending on pace and return choice!  That’s a good run!

One thing that drew me to run Five Knolls was that many Goats have never run that street.  Going out it has a great hill that is nothing short of Rashambo!  Coming back, you get a nice .75 mile grinder uphill.  And since the route is new for several, it meant you had to get past the mental to tackle the physical… aka BRR!

It was absolutely AWESOME to have Beaver, Stay Puff and Slice join us!  Beaver is returning from a broken leg/hip… STRONG!!  Stay Puff and Slice have been doing other things… but great to have both of you out!  I know all three will look to be regulars again!

Welcome to Dumpster Fire… he’s joined us a few times over Spring, but great to see you!

Great to have Madison and Gypsy join us!  I know you guys are putting in some serious miles, including Thursday F3 Sparta.  Please join us anytime you can!

The Mouth has made it 2 weeks in a row… BRR must be getting close!

Everyone put in some good miles this morning!  Insomniac gets the “Going The Extra Mile” award… because he did… and he was definitely bait and switched!  He’ll get over it!

Announcements:

1. Great to see Dumpster Fire!  Thankful for his safe travels to Michigan, and continued prayers for his family.
