DATE: 2023-05-16 AO: Swift Q: bratwurst PAX: Wolverine, Chopper, retread, soft_pretzel, das_boot, Gravy, Dosey Doe, Frasier FNGs: None COUNT: 8 WARMUP: Either @das_boot or @soft_pretzel put the EH on Gravy in the parking lot, for apparently the new guy from Houston was just there to show up early for Bagpipe. We took him and moseyed on into the gloom. Soft Pretzel probably gave him the warm and fuzzy talking about his Houston past, and Das Boot was a valiant escort to get him back to the AO later.
15min warm-up over to the parking lot behind BofA/Merrill/TIAA off of Bagpipe Hill. Dynamic Exercises and strides while YHC set the 200m, well perhaps 196m at first, cones.
THE THANG: 12x200m in the parking lot at your 1mile goal pace. 60sec recovery between each – try to jog if you can. Jogging and walking during recovery benefits the fitness some (Research has shown that active rest is more effective at clearing lactate and preparing you for the next repeat than standing, but listen to your own body, and do what feels best. – from

Mosey back to COT for arrival at 0615.
COT: Tagalong, the Bagpipe Q, took us out.
