The bell rang and five pax … no, actually six pax, because here comes Hitch right on Hitch Time, which is about 90 seconds behind the rest of us … no, actually seven pax, because we picked the Mayor up on Turn 3 of our first lap around the track … posted for the inaugural Tabata & Track workout at St. Christopher’s.
It was Launch Day and yes, there was a Hitch.
The track is kind of cushy compared to the middle school track where I ran the Charlotte version of this workout, and it definitely doesn’t overlook a garbage truck depot like the other one did AND it’s near the Country Club of Virginia, so I like the SCCC name for this one. Initiation is free, there’s no waiting list and you pay your dues by rising from the FS and posting in The Gloom. Just pray Bodos doesn’t crash his e-bike on the way there …
