A little over 5 miles in the books

MOLESKIN:

Great to see Atlas and Fuse Box at Swarm.  Atlas usually has Friday morning obligations and with a free morning didn’t take the easy way out and posted the full hour.  Fusebox fresh off his 10k Monday morning doubled up the distance this week and hit Swarm and got in about another 5 miles, well done.

My soreness from IPC (have fun tomorrow) is so bad I wanted to cry the entire 1 mile warmup.

There were ZERO squats or leg exercises today due to massive soreness from IPC and to keep those who are doing IPC tomorrow fresh.

Ice 9 and Wolverine had their own secret club meeting way out in front of everyone on the 4 corners

Wolverine was also laying on a “clutch” mat outside of the high school while doing big boys.  Not so clutch if that’s the COVID mat….

Hollywood picked the lightest lifting rock a good sized rock and killed it on the lifts/400m, or maybe he was just saying himself for that glory

Deflated may be running in secret with his third wheel gang but the man has developed some speed.  I was definitely chasing you today.  Hopefully your 5 item knee surgery goes well next Thursday and you can be back soon.

It was definitely a lighter crowd today with a lot of the Swarm regulars sandbagging in other workouts (you know who you are) or just completely no showing (TT, etc).

I know this is a Swarm backblast but I just wanted to say that although I am sore and tired from the IPC and IPC relay the IPC relay has been one of my highlights of F3 the past few months.  The second F alone makes it.  Getting together with 15+ guys every week to compete as a team and make fun of other regions has been pure gold.  If you’re not participating you’re missing out.  There are two weeks left and I hope to see you out.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead today.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• Although it’s late I’m sure 9/11 has been on everyone’s minds today and everyone (especially with our transplants down here) has a different story of what this day means and has impacted their lives.  It’s been on my mind all and I hope we can lift up in prayer all those impacted men/women/families today.
