Circles in the Dark

DATE: 2023-05-02 AO: Fast-Twitch Q: flipper PAX: Alf, geraldo, voodoo, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), flipper, purell, Runstopper, turkey_leg, ductwork, purple_haze, hopper FNGs: None COUNT: 11 Back at FT for the obligatory once in a (not so) blue moon Q, having swapped with a dinged up Benny (hoping for a fast recovery mate.). YHC was fresh out of good ideas so reached for a bad one, the old standby of “charge up/coast down” on the fan favorite Rounding Run. The challenge was to do better than 5k effort up the hills and recover down, reversing direction every circuit. With Purell up front leading the way, the PAX got after it, after complaining YHC lead us the long way via Strawberry. Enough time afterwards to take the long way back (this time behind HT) and YHC got 7 miles total, Purell got more, some got a little less, but solid efforts throughout. The June half marathon crew putting in the hard prep work including an over ambitious Runstopper who refused to quit till the bitter end.
Always great to be out there with the FT PAX, makes me wonder why I don’t take the longer drive on Tuesdays more often.
Thanks to Benny and Astro for the chance to lead and Geraldo for taking us out. Prayers for Hammers family as they struggle with the tragic loss of their daughter and sister way before her time
