Contrary to Mini Me's concerns, and although we did take some "back alleys", we did NOT get lost at Excelsior on Saturday. Here is, roughly, what went down.
0558: YHC and 98 Degrees were finishing up the River Rat 10k. 9 Lives and BEP were close behind. The familiar "hurry up" from Mini Me was heard, but alas, we did not start on time.
0602: We set off with 10. Disclaimer given en route (I think I remembered it?) towards the Carrington Ridge neighborhood where I live. We warmed up with some butt kickers, high knees, and Quadraphilia on the way.
The "BRR Tapering" Thing:
At the entrance to my hood:
- IST x 12 IC
- Soybean farmers x 12 IC
- Likely a quad stretch at this point.
Run down a back alley. At the neighborhood park we did:
- Pull-ups x 10 OYO
- Squats x 20 OYO
- Dips x 20 OYO
Run down another skinny road. In my driveway we did:
- Shoulder touch Mericans x 12 IC
- Slow deep squats x 12 IC
- Probably another stretch at that point.
Lunge walk to the next stop sign. Probably ~200 yards? There were some complaints.
Run to the bottom section of the neighborhood. Believe we stopped for:
- Shoulder touch Mericans x 12 IC
- Another stretch?
Run out of the neighborhood, to the bottom entrance on Bud Henderson. We saw either a Ferrari or a Lamborgini go by, couldn't tell as it was flying. Instructions given to run up the Bud Henderson hill that fast!
Stopped at the wall for a calf stretch. Ran back to the AO. At the bottom park we did:
- Knee-ups x 10 followed by hanging strectch on bars x 1 minute
- More squats?
Circled up for Mary:
- Low flutters x 25 IC
- Mason Twist x 15 IC?
Recover, recover. As BRR was approaching, we kept the running to roughly 2.5 miles ish. Nice work gents!
Moleskin:
- 98 Degrees and 9 Lives with the strong RR10k / Excelsior Double Down.
- Snake Eyes, Moby Dick, and Grenade were brave enough to stay for Vandelay's Q at The Estate. Vandelay also doubled down, strong!
- Mini Me doubled down as well…he biked after Excelsior. That counts too!
- Black Eyed Pea with the rare RR10 / The Estate #DoubleDown.
- Good to see 9 Lives friend Rainbird out. By all accounts, he did NOT merlot which is a great thing.
- Rooter had places to be, otherwise I'm certain he would've doubled down as well.
- The mumblechatter was fun. Thanks to everyone for putting up with a somewhat different route.
- Awesome to see so many #DoubleDowns and people ready to crush the BRR!
Aye, gents. It was a good morning. Turnpike.
