Space Needle – Liftoff
Date: 2025-07-22 AO: swift Q: bratwurst PAX: flipper, voodoo, Wolverine, fleetwood, gumbo, Franky, kirby, madison, tagalong, midriff FNGs: None COUNT: 11 WARMUP: PAX left on time (sans Q) — down to R on Bally Corp, Harney, Rushmore, out to Synchrony lot. Dynamic exercises.
THE THANG: Working Interval = Run UPHILL for the full hill distance from the bottom of Ballantyne Commons up to Costigan Park. No time limit today. This is you vs. you, but feel free to start each one with a buddy. Recover back down. With the recovery distance = the working interval distance, the working interval will be at a harder effort than last month’s workout that used this section.
Most PAX got in at least 4. Some 5, plus some extra “Mount St. Durant” (the steepest part from Ballantyne Commons up to Costigan Park).
flipper consistently led and kept the recovery moving faster than anyone else. voodoo fresh off training camp in the Alps earlier in the summer was biting at his heels along with a Wolverine biting at his heels. Then the duo of gumbo and fleetwood traded places on their 5 hills, and had a tagalong with tagalong fighting up each one behind them. midriff was lost in the middle, front, and back, doing his own version at times, but kept it moving. kirby Franky madison sweated in out, perhaps played in the sprinklers (cause how wet can you get?), and kirby reminded everyone how proud he was of each guy just being there.
flipper picked up the Local Legend, but frasier KOM is still safe.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Horsey Half Marathon early August.
