More Shenanigans at Swift
Date: 2025-09-09 AO: swift Q: midriff PAX: Mistake, frasier, gumbo, citgo, bunker, bratwurst, soft_pretzel, madison, Gutter Guard, teddyf3 FNGs: None COUNT: 11 WARMUP: Disclaimer this will be a “taper-friendly” workout (and paper-friendly) with pax coming off BRR and pax running Mountain Rumble this weekend. Run towards ESPN building for some dynamic warmup, mixing in some bunny hops and lunges.
THE THANG: Split PAX into two teams, for some interval running competition. At this point the focused marathon/half-marathon runners caught wind of the shenanigans about to ensue and decided to run their own intervals around the Bull Ring.
Track #1: Pax 1 sprints a circle around the office building, while rest of the team Indian runs in one direction, passing the “baton” (blinking wristband courtesy of bratwurst) to the next pax. First team to have all three runners circle the building wins the round. Each runner ended up sprinting closer to .3/.4 miles to catch up to the rest of the team. Team 1: YHC, Gutter Guard and madison take the first round.
Track #2: Shorten the lap around building #2 by having rest of the team Indian run in the opposite direction. Each pax runs two laps. Team 1 wins the round!
Track #3: Swap teddyf3 with madison for Capture the Cones. Set up 16 cones on each end of a 50-meter straightaway. Team who ends with more cones in their corner wins the game. Four intervals: 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds and 120 seconds with 30 seconds rest in between. Team 2 wins this round (bratwurst soft_pretzel madison), although bratwurst may have been taking more than one cone on each sprint :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Track #4: Similar to track #2 but on the entire bull ring. Intercept the marathon runners for our final competition. In the end, Team 1 finished with 57 points and Team 2 finished with 34 points.
MARY: We watched Bagpipers do some.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mountain Rumble this weekend, Just for Kicks Ultra 5k first Saturday in October, Terror Trails 50k in October. Sign up and so a hard thing to push yourself to new greatness.
COT: Prayers for kirby’s Dad who has another serious procedure on the horizon. Prayers for strength and wisdom as we navigate challenges ahead of us.
