(YHC was the) Caboose

Event Date

Aug 03, 2023


3 pax posted to this week’s edition of #TheCaboose after YHC had to be reminded at 9pm the night before that I had the Q.  Cobains!  My brain must still be on vacation.  Fortunately, I was not a sad clown, but in fact was joined by two of Isotope’s finest in Turnpike and Beave.

YHC’s pb specified launch location of Wynfield clubhouse not only because it is in my backyard, but also because there were nearby hills to be had AND if nobody showed thanks to the late pb, I would have the option of joining Wilderness for a beatdown.  Alas, the latter was not necessary (though we did join for COT, which was great).

THANG

Mosey from Wilderness AO into Macaulay neighborhood, home of both YHC and Beave.  Stroll to waterfall park, aka the Beach, and circle up for short warmup, consisting of:

  • IST x 10 IC
  • Toy Soldier x 10 IC

Complete loop around the Beach and head to Hardcore Hill, passing by YHC house on the way.  Arrive at Hardcore Hill and inform pax that the plan was for hill repeats in sets of 2 with some exercises/stretches in between.

In the end, we completed 5 hill repeats, got in a few core exercises and calf and quad stretches, and logged about 4 miles in total.  We finished by taking the long way around back to the AO.

Recover, recover.

MOLESKIN

  • Seriously, Cobains for the late pb.  I’m glad I didn’t Kumquat my Q, but still should have been more on top of that.  Signed up too long ago, I suppose, and was preoccupied with my TMO Q the day before.
  • Thanks to Turnpike for reaching out to ask for a Q, and for letting me lead today.  I am definitely not in my good running shape and was pulling up the rear today, but will hopefully get there with some more consistency.  Appreciate the pax allowing me to break up the hill repeats with some stretches.
  • Glad to have seen all of the Wilderness pax and join them for COT.  Ponch always brings a great message to COT, and this morning was no different.  Thanks, brother.
  • Beave is helping to organize the effort at Hope House on 8/12, one week from Saturday.  They need lots of help for setup, execution, and breakdown, as well as donations.  Please reach out and consider volunteering / showing up.  Rumor has it DonHo is getting dunked.
  • Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH in June 2016 – I’m forever grateful.

Aye,

TC
