This is my #VQ at this esteemed AO so started to visit a few weeks back and quickly realized that I am out of my league. These dudes are #HIMs and #Fastholes<\/p>\n<p>Last week @Draftee visited and took too long to get started and then ended a few minutes early, I saw the rebuttal and grief he got, YHC kept it simple and easy. Here is how it went:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Warmarama:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lap around the park to get the blood moving and HR up. We stopped at the base of the Intimidator (moans begin)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>The Thang:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Run up to <del>Carolina\u00a0<\/del>Jersey<\/p>\n<p>Recover Mosey to Track<\/p>\n<p>100m ON. 100m Recover<\/p>\n<p>200m ON. 100m Recover<\/p>\n<p>400m ON. 100m Recover<\/p>\n<p>600m ON. 200m Recover<\/p>\n<p>Run up to Jersey and mosey back.<\/p>\n<p>Rinse and Repeat.<\/p>\n<p>Most got through 2 rounds of this.

Strong Work, men!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>NMM:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>@TaxBreak immediately turned some heads this AM. True #Fasthole and lapped us all. YHC and @TB are new neighbors and he flagged me down asking about F3. He did F3 in Charlotte aka #Daddy (where they take themselves really seriously). Supposedly when @TB announced he was moving to WS, he was met with a &#8220;Have fun getting fat&#8221; comment.\u00a0 YHC tried to tell him the folks up here are okay, too.<\/p>\n<p>@TB flew by @Pinky and @Padre on the first run, and immediately the murmur started about who this guy is<\/p>\n<p>@Chomper was on his heels for most of the AM. &#8220;The run to Jersey sucks after the 600m&#8221; &#8211; yeah I could have thought that one through<\/p>\n<p>Lots of speculation and questioning where we would end up on the track before heading up the Intimidator:<\/p>\n<p>@Palin: &#8220;Did you map it out&#8221; &#8211; Negative<\/p>\n<p>@Pinky: &#8220;I think we will end near Turn 3&#8221; &#8211; That was wrong<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, we ended up at Turn 4 which made it an easy recovery run to the base.<\/p>\n<p>@Pollster got some EC miles in<\/p>\n<p>@Resistor was sighted doing Jump Ropes beforehand. No whistle in tow.<\/p>\n<p>@Balco wondered where the Q was<\/p>\n<p>@WoolyBugger: &#8220;That was not a warmup lap; I am going to have to add some sanctions&#8221; &#8211; That means I did the whole Q thing right, right?<\/p>\n<p>@DeepDish came back out after his first post last week. Dude is an animal and just keeps chugging along. &#8220;I wanted to get good at running so here I am&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>@Doublewide is not a fan of the new naming committee. &#8220;How can @Edge (a former Defensive End) get that name, while I am named after a trailer park&#8221; &#8211; You are loved, @DW &#8211; we are better with you with us. Strong work!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of @Edge, didn&#8217;t get to see him much today as he was out front all AM<\/p>\n<p>@Pinky owns a cyber security that is a tree and trades derivatives off of it&#8230;? The things you hear when getting lapped.<\/p>\n<p>@Suede was pushing to the end and with lots of encouragement.
