800s of Varying Distances at Redline

QIC: Greenspan

Date: 5/18/21

PAX: Total Recall, Balco, Winklevoss, Suede, Hitman, Manscape, Burns, Chomper, Greenspan

Enjoy the perfect weather now; the heat is coming.  Eight pax + the Q did so this morning at Redline.

Warmarama:

Easy 1-lap mosey around track + 1-lap with buttkickers, power skips, and carioca.

The Thang:

Pax were told that we were going to be doing 800s the whole time.  After some quiet mumblechatter, YHC clarified with the following:

  • 800m at race pace x 1 followed by 200m recovery
  • 400m at race pace x 2 followed by 200m recovery after each
  • 200m at race pace x 4 followed by 200m recovery after each
  • 400m at race pace x 2 followed by 200m recovery after each
  • 800m at race pace x 1 followed by 200m recovery
  • Continue until time

Announcements:

  • Weekly Lunch Bunch and Hump Day Happy Hour appear to be back on. Look for announcements on Slack.
  • State of the Pax, 6/5/21 at Jamison Park.  30-minute workout followed by beer, donuts, and coffee (in that order).
  • The Shmed is the last weekend of August. Following the completion of The Shmed, Shmedfest returns!

COT:

  • YHC took us out.

NMM:

  • YHC negotiated a post by Burns after promising the workout would exclude all hills; that included the typical warmup run around Hanes Park, to the amazement of Total Recall.
  • Speaking of, TR was out front all morning, joined by Wink.
  • Suede arrived after we had already moved from the launch point to the track; hopefully he didn’t run around the park before he found us.
  • Balco ran out to Cagneys with TR. They missed each other by a few seconds on the run in.  Strong work, fellas.
  • Good to see Hitman. He was last man on the track, pushing hard until the end.
  • On one of YHC’s recoveries, Manscape flew by YHC and just gave a thumbs up. Solid work.
  • Chomper was wise and didn’t push his recently tweaked hammy but still put in the time and laid down the miles.

T-claps to Resistor for his and Juice Box’s Tobacco Run this weekend.  Thanks for the keys!  I drove out to Tobacco Road and left them in the field.  You’ll have to run back out there to retrieve them.
