Lady and the tramp fartlek conversion

Event Date

Apr 25, 2023

AO


Tuesdays are always the best days. Why? Because it’s time to get after it at FKT.

We discussed last week, that we may converge FKT with fartlek, but after deliberation with swingstate , we decided to do a very lady and the tramp convergence. Swingstate with the queue at fartlek would run towards Knox hill from the south. I would run with the FKT crew to Knox hill from the north. And just like the spaghetti scene on lady and the tramp, we would join the two for a Makeout beat down session.

YHC, ran a solo standard, followed by some Olivia Core. As I finished, a sturdy group of men arrived. The first arrive was an FNG, Hunter. He was bamboozled into showing up to his first post by ducky. Next step was smoky. Smoky, I smoke show as always, I was ready to dominate. In the last around out, our crew was Swamp Fox and honeybee. I never met honeybee before. Swingstate later in for me that he is quite the runner. Swamp Fox was looking meaty.

I did give the crew a heads up that we would be having some surprise guests at some point during the work out

Our journey:  we ran to Devonshire where we did a bunch of Merkins. We ran to the bridge where we did Burpee Broad jumps across it. We almost got hit by a few cars, it was exhilarating. We ran to the bottom of Knox hill and a 50 World War II’s. We ran up Knox Hill and back down and did more Merkins.

Then, like the glistening of the afternoon, sun across the beautiful, calm ocean. The headlamps of the fartlek crew shined like piercing energy from another realm. The FKT crew jogged to meet the Homies. You could feel an increase of energy amongst the pax. Swingstate then called running halfway Knox hill and doing 10 tarantulas, I called running back down the hill and doing 10 Burpee’s. We then repeat-o’ed this times three together. Fartlek and FKT became one.

Those tarantula things were murder. Especially after running up the hill. I felt like the fartlek guys were faster and better shape than the FKT guys?

Once done, we ran back to the AO.

I really enjoyed this “ convergence” if you will. The energy level definitely went up as we joined forces.

It also was a very tough work out. And our FNG, Hunter, crush the work out and finish on time.  I haven’t seen smoky out recently, but man is he still fast. Ducky dominated the run back. And I look forward to seeing honeybee and many more FKT‘s.  Me and Swamp Fox were chatting and realize that we have only been making it out to FKT recently. Does anybody else have a very tough (make you wanna vomit) work out planned in the future that could get us out to another AO on another day?

As always: LFG!
