Add: Breakfast Club not on website.

With BRR looming, 9 gliders slid in some smooth, slow taper running to maintain health and strength heading to conquer the Blue Ridge Relay !  This is what shook loose with 62 temp & 92% humidity.  Yes please, I will take those pace-dropping running conditions.

Mosey from AO to first stop sign heading to roundabout.

SSH x 20 IC

Toy Soldier x 15 IC

IST x 15 IC

Half Pipe of Pleasure-

Placed orange cones halfway up upper Hugh Torrance sections past roundabout.  One heading to AO & other heading to roundabout.

25% speed to halfway cone heading to AO, slow back down to stop sign, 25% speed to halfway cone, slow back down

50% speed all way to top toward AO stop sign, slow back down, 50% speed all way to roundabout, slow down

75% speed to halfway cone toward AO, slow, 75% speed to halfway cone toward roundabout, 

Recover at bottome stop sign for the 6.

Repeato with round #2.

50% speed to cone, slow down, 50% speed to cone toward roundabout, slow

75% speed full stretch to stop sign near AO, slow down, 75% speed full stretch to roundabout, down slow

Asked Turncoat to gather the 6 at bottom & head up to roundabout while yhc had some orange cone recover & replacement to move pax to steep part of Hugh Torrance & Chadsley.

Horseshoe (w no exercises)-

AMRAP at own speed to cone about 4 houses down Hugh Torrance, back to top, down Chadsley to cone directly equadistant.  Repeato Bandito for about 7 min.

Recover.

Leave the cones.  Head to bottom end of Chadsley to start worse Half Pipe, at own speed head up HT about 75% portion of hill to cone, back down to bottom, up Chadsley about 75% to cone, one shot at it each side.

Recover- asked Tagless to gather pax & head to top so I could do a grass up-&-over (very dewy) the hump to gather cones.

Mosey back to AO.  Breakfast Club & Turncoat were smoothly gliding on cruise control moving back to AO.

MARY- around the horn-

Exercise counts were not disclosed or remembered due to oxygenation limitations at 605am gloom.

YHC – LBC, Tagless-low flutter, Olaf-touch them heels , The Count-box cutter, UItraman-V ups, Turncoat- , Breakfast Club- LBC, Sweet C- , YHC- Reach & Catch (YouTube Oblique Blaster).  Elbow plank 30 sec.

Time – DONE !

Rumple Moleskin-

1- Thanks to the UltraMan for allowing me to Q The Fartlek !  My 3rd time to this post.  UM said Fartlek means "speed play" started in Sweden.  Awesome speed variations each post help with lung capacity & oxygenation.  YHC will take some of that especially before BRR Mtn arse-kicks.

2- Great to see 2 of my BRR teammates, Captain The Count & Turncoat.  Believe that means that remaining 9 of Team #SoCSAUPithurts hopefully were tapering elsewhere or Fartsacking this Tues.  This will be the fastest team yhc has been a part of for BRR. 

3- Definitely solid regulars at Fartlek with Tagless, Olaf, & Sweet C grinding out some taper miles today.

4- Pax ranged prob 4 to 5 miles total today making it just another fantastic day to be part of F3Nation & F3LKN !  God bless Dredd & OBT for making that couragous decision on 1/1/11 to Leap into this Phenomenon knows as Fitness, Fellowship, & Faith !  Love IT !

ENJOY that Carolina sun today !  Soak it up !

Mayhem (in the AM)
