The hills are alive with the sound of whistles
Date: 2023-10-17 AO: swift Q: das_boot PAX: frasier, bratwurst, soft_pretzel, Sherpa, citgo, das_boot, fleetwood, Hippie, Wolverine FNGs: None COUNT: 9 YHC hasn’t lost the Q for Swift yet and brought the coach’s whistle again. It was time to hit the hills and the PAX toured Ballantyne Country Club for the first time in a bit, living every minute of it.
WARMUP: Some of the regular warm-up activities, plus a new one: bunny hops followed by running it out.
THE THANG: 5x of 5:00 on / 2:30 recovery
MOLESKINE: YHC was excited that during the free time, Soft Pretzel chose to do the side shuffle hug, another MRMS XC classic and Bratwurst called for sweeping the goose. 👊
Frasier was taking it easy after completing the Homecoming Ultra 50k on Saturday and still held a consistent and commendable pace through the hills, joined by Citgo who is on the mend and looking like he’s back (including multiple bathroom breaks during an hour long workout). Brat led the way throughout (which is great because YHC wasn’t 💯 where to go on a couple of turns), with Softie, Fleetwood and Wolverine not too far behind. And Sherpa is on the taper for the Charlotte Marathon and it’s looking like it will be a good one for him — stay healthy, my friend!
The timing worked out amazingly to get the final 5 in on the way back, through Ballantyne resort. Then Hippie snuck in — apparently he just late enough and the pre-blasts just vague enough to not direct him to where we’d be. 🤦
ANNOUNCEMENTS and COT: With the PAX of Bagpipe. Bonus whistle blow when they called time because it’s fun.
