7 Pax hit the ground running a Speedtrap First Gear hybrid to start off the week.\u00a0 Temperatures were pleasant considering the 90 degree forecast for the day.<\/p>\n
The Thang: We started with a warm up lap near a mile long by heading up Yorkshire, right on Pine Valley, left on Barnesdale, and back down Yorkshire to the start.<\/p>\n
From there we channeled our inner First Gear and ran up Yorkshire to Barnsdale (about 0.4 mi) at a precisely called out 72.3% pace.\u00a0 There was some debate that we were at a 74.1% pace, but that was clearly inaccurate.\u00a0 At the top after an individual standing 5 count, we did 15 Merkins (instantly completing the daily requirement for this month’s #TheBenjaminInternational).\u00a0 We moseyed\u00a0 back down to the crosswalk at Shaffner and repeato.\u00a0 We did 4 of these.\u00a0 We then did an all out up Yorkshire to the Pine Valley stop.\u00a0 Again 15 Merkins before heading back down for some Mary in the parking lot.<\/p>\n
This was an admitted Q fail.\u00a0 Nobody should ever lie down on the Shaffner lot.\u00a0 We’ll be wearing gravel for days.\u00a0 We cycled through some human protractor, American hammer, and touch-your-toes LBCs (Zuck called for that one and I can’t recall the official name.)\u00a0 We finished with 25 Merkins to complete #TheBenjamin, because, yeah, YHC was the Q.<\/p>\n
Mumblechatter:\u00a0 On describing the plan for the day, Zuck, like a child on Christmas morning, exclaimed, “I knew it!\u00a0 I just knew it!!!”\u00a0 On our first climb up Yorkshire, I could hear Mongoose saying, “Patch, I’m elated with you.”\u00a0 That seemed a bit fancy in language and more syllables than necessary while climbing the hill, but it was good to get positive feedback.<\/p>\n
COT: Zuck’s dad has a medical procedure today.\u00a0 Beverly submits the Boston application today and should know later this week whether his qualifying time punches his admission ticket.\u00a0 Balco is hosting a viewing of the Georgia -Notre Dame game this Saturday.\u00a0 Game is at 8.\u00a0 Gather at 7.<\/p>\n
