Mountain Goats Running In The Rain

14 Goats including FNG Topless assembled in the partly cloudy/soon to be water-logged Spring skies for another installment of F3 Mountain Goat.  We disclaimed, and only had to wait a few seconds for Venus to park his car and join us.  Here’s how it went down:

The Thang:
1.  Warm-up down Strawberry Ln; back to SCMS… mosey to track for some dynamic stretching
2.  Do the following ladder – I-Pace/(Recovery):  200/(200) – 400/(400) – 800/(400) – 800/(400) – 400/(400) – 200/(200)
3.  Finished with .75 mile cool down (except for Frasier who completed 1.00 mile!)

Done!   We covered around 5.5 miles give or take!

Moleskine:
Always a great job… and always an honor to lead these great men!

I had checked the forecast and there was NO rain in the forecast until mid-morning… their tongues spoke falsely!  I told Nomad it was very BRR-esque to have some spitting rain!  It actually helped to refresh, so all in all it was pretty much over before it started!

Welcome to FNG Topless, who was EH’d by Icicle!  Great to have you join us, and we look forward to having you back out many times!  Topless wasted no time bringing the “guns” out, and proceeded to do an awesome job for his first time running this much in a while!

Frasier led the pack all morning, but Voodoo, Icicle, Gomer Pyle and Booyah were never far behind!

Always great to have the regulars out, and you guys were solid as always:  Geraldo, Retread, Nomad, Icky Shuffle, Early Bird, Insomniac and Venus.

Booyah took us out with a great word of encouragement!

Great lead, Slim Fast and YHC enjoyed the pre-run. Other notable performances out there included Early Bird and yourself. Geraldo and Ickey Shuffle crushed the 200s as well. Looking forward to more Mountain Goat post-Mud Run.
