Improptu Q at Race City and The Men Who Run


Last night, YHC was looking for a boot camp style workout and reached out to Manhands who said he was in.  As we were waiting for the clock to strike 0530, we were surprised to see a red Toyota Tacoma pull in…and surprisingly on time.  Welcome to Race City, Springfield.

The runners of the group: Hummer, Crack, Rent-A-Cop, Motorboat
This was their morning: Ran to the bottom of  Dewey Hill, then ran up in at a 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% sprint, and jogged back down after each sprint.  It was about a mile to and from Dewey Hill.

The rest of us: Manhands, Brushless, Springfield, YHC

Since we decided to have a beat down last night, we didn’t know who would Q. Manhands told YHC to take it.  To the best of YHC recollection, it went a little something like this…
