Hot Hills
Date: 2025-07-08 AO: swift Q: bratwurst PAX: citgo, flipper, bunker, midriff, Brisket, tagalong, teddyf3, fire_hazard, wingman, Doublemint FNGs: None COUNT: 11 WARMUP: East on Ballantyne Commons to the BCC East entrance. Dynamic Exercises.
THE THANG: The 2/1/30 (aka Bunker’s favorite workout when done in Ballantyne Country Club) are rounds of Intervals run at VO2MAX, followed by recovery to the Six at half the time. No extra rest between intervals. 2:00 on, 1:00 off, 1:00 on, :30 off, :30 on, :30 off. Repeat from the top.
Today, we got in 6 rounds total, though YHC did have a mini in-workout debate about which round we were in. Due to the lack of oxygen and extra sweat, flipper was right, and he monitored the last set.
Most of the 2min intervals had some downhill and avoided the steepest up hills, most of the :30 found the steepest uphills, but everything was rolling (including over the speed humps).
And no, the apartment complex is not a better cut through back to Ballantyne Commons. Apparently, poison ivy and briars were to be found. Cobains on the overtime, for Bagpipe had already broken COT once we made it back.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Timekeeper is starting a new book series next week on Tuesday 7/15 called “Great Mental Models Vol 1:” Chapters are: – Introduction: Acquiring Wisdom – The Map is not the territory – Circle of competence – First principles thinking – Thought experiment – Second-order thinking – Probabilistic thinking – Inversion – Occam’s Razor – Hanlon’s Razor
COT: YHC took us out
