Date: 2025-03-04 AO: swift Q: flipper PAX: soft_pretzel, voodoo, citgo, Cheap Seats, fleetwood, tagalong, fire_hazard, midriff, Gump, Brisket, drive_by, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), frasier, Owen = Cheap Seats FNGs: 1 Owen = Cheap Seats COUNT: 13 As the PAX gathered at 0511ish, it was evident today would be a big day. While YHC would like to think everyone was there in anticipation of a fantastic workout, it’s more likely nobody read the preblast and was, in fact, chagrined to see who was on Q. Around 0513 a gentlemen climbed out of his car and inquired if we knew Brian Baum. Apparently Citgo met this poor fellow on a plane back to CLT and EH’d him right then in there. We learned the man’s name was in fact Owen, but PAX were already considering creative use of the story for re-naming the fellow, tagalong even went as far as suggesting a pre-run naming, but YHC is a man of tradition and insisted it would be in COT. Speaking of citgo the man rambled up about 0514 and was enthusiastic in greeting young Owen, then we were off!
WARMUP: a little over a mile to the bullring, much to tagalong’s chagrin. Hard to refuse a route which is basically purpose built for intervals. THE THANG: 8X400 meter intervals w/ 200 recovery. Last 2 intervals were called to be SPICY. MARY: not at Swift she’s not ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hodge Podge of items well socialized on _area-51 and _sob COT: It was evident Gump had done a great job interview Owen during the run and had lots of trivia to share, but the PAX were enamored with the plane theme, hence we were introduced to Cheap Seats.
Prayers for healing and strength for Luka and The Worm. YHC took us out.
