Did you know Fartlek means "speed play" in Swedish? It's the combination of continuous training with interval training. Unfortunately I didn't know that in advance, so I'll need someone to tell me the Swedish word that combines "hilly" and "stupid".
For fear of getting lost in MacAuley or Birkdale, YHC chose to plan a simple route: down Hugh Torance, then pickup miles 2-7 or so of the Huntersville Half course. Ranson Road is never ideal, but the rest of the route was nice and quiet. I haven't done any hills in months, so that sucked. Pace was *alert* but only for the Q. That's what I get for calling out a bunch of speedy runners to show on Twitter. At least it was good company! Sorry we just missed Jorel, but he caught us for the finish.
Thank you Crab Legs for the chance to lead and a fun Q-swap at Titan yesterday. Bless all the ankles and legs.
