PAX: The Vig, Palin (WB), Chomper, Winklevoss, BALCO, Resistor (WD), Hitman, Crash, Zuckerberg (QIC)
9 pax found their #RedLine this morning by running some circles and some hills. 400m and 800m repeats with ‘breaks’ in between – consisting of trips up The Intimidator.
A good time was had by all.
Went a li’l something like this…
THE THANG:
- Warm-up mile around the park (“Oh, hey @Palin!”…. “Oh, hey there, @BALCO!”…)
- Dynamic warm-up (400m) around the track (high knees; butt-kickers; Apollo Creeds (R & L); power skips; karaoke (R&L);mosey)
- 400m sprint
- Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Run up to Carolina and back to track
- 800m sprint
- Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Backpedal up to Carolina and back to track
- 400m sprint
- Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Run up to Carolina and back to track
- 800m sprint
- Mosey to Intimidator (extra credit: broad jump up steps) – Backpedal up to Carolina and back to track
- 400m sprint
- Extra 400m sprint (if time allowed)
- Mosey back to parking lot
- FIN!
Total Mileage: 4.0-5.0 miles
COT
- Prayers for @Hitman’s neighbor (Bob and family) and @Zuck’s sister (Amy and family); also prayers that we can be the men He wants us to be and glorify Him in all that we do.
NMM
- @Viggy was flying today
- @Palin doesn’t pick up and offer rides to random folks/runners @ 5:20am – not that @BALCO is random
- I don’t know why we ever feel the need to go higher/further up The Intimidator than Carolina – that seemed plenty far.
- Pax specifically enjoyed the backpedal up The Intimidator – #Quadriphilia
- Something bright in the sky was suggested to be either Mars… or Venus… or possibly… Uranus (#Astronomy)
- Cool, clear morning
- An honor to lead. Thanks for the keys, @Resistor!!!

Looks like a lovely time. Awful, but lovely for you fasty-fast folk.
Resistor
Great Q as always. This has been asked many times but why does running up the intimidator NEVER gets easier ? Thanks Zuck
