A fine 9 came out today for a run and left with so much more: Tour deTuckahoe!

We kept the group together with the leads doubling back to the 6.  Along the lake, up to the baseball field/Robins Center and climb the hill to the wooded trail cut through.  We then made our way to our Pax’s residences and performed the following in front.

Stop 1 – Taxi Cab’s house – LBCs

Stop 2 – Toga’s house – Merkins with perfect form

Stop 3 – Two Can’s – WWII

Stop 4 – Upchuck – Don Quixote

Stop 5 – Ronnie – APDs

Stop 6 – Marv – Spell Lally Construction

Stop 7 – Pelosi 5-0 – Freddy Mercuries

Stop 8 – Bunny Slope – Imperial Walkers

Stop 9 – Lockjaw – SSH

Stop 10 – Pucker – American Hammers

Stop 11 – Fudd – Monkey Humpers

Mosey through the woods and around the lake to the SF.

Two Can took us out.

NMS:

There was a stop 12 in mind with Saab’s house, but time and the safety on that part of River could jeopardize the well being of the Pax.  We will save it for next time.

Speaking of time, just as we arrived at Upchuck’s, he emerged from the backdoor and came out to say hi.  He was not dressed to workout, rather for a trip to Miami.

Speaking of Miami, TYA arrived looking like he just came back from the dog races in Miami.  Khaki pants, button up shirt, and a bow tie.  If he had run like that he wold have won the Tuckahoe Challenge of the day.  Instead, that honor went to Bleeder for wearing a collared polo shirt. Having the foresight (or experience?) to apply bag balm to his face to avoid “collar flap chafe” shows why he is the Spider Run Tuckahoe Challenge Champ.

Announcements:

• Convergence this weekend.  See Hardywood’s post regarding breakfast options.  Sign up if you want food.
• Keep EF Hutton and his family in your thoughts.

ABT,

Twelve of F3 RVA’s finest ventured out for some quality running in the rain.

3/4 loop of the lake as a warm up stopping at the base of the long narrow path with the steep incline.  Run up with 70% effort and jog down for recovery.  Repeat until Q calls it (about 15 minutes).

Mosey over the the amphitheater and form three columns behind BT, Bleeder, and TYA.  Run up the theater’s steps and jog down.  Repeat until Q calls it (6 minutes or so).

For two columns behind Two Can and Lugnut for a long indigenous people run around campus to the intramural fields.

Sprints across the  soccer fields; 40% effort over, 90% effort back.  Mosey back to the shovel flag.

YHC didn’t want this BRR team tapering prematurely, so a nice medley of hill repeats and sprint work was required to keep their training sustained for another week.  As expected, they crushed it and are ready for next week.  Even the cool down mosey back to the SF was at a fast clip led by Bleeder and Swirly.

Speaking of Bleeder, he came out today looking like a silent Labrat.  Tron vest, no shirt, but no talking.  Not sure which version of Labrat I prefer most….

Not much chatter after the workout, as it was the first day of school for several and they were promptly off.

Announcements:

TYA is having folks back to his place after tomorrow’s hill run to watch the Barkley Marathon documentary.  You will know when it starts by when TYA lights a cigarette and blows the conch.  Have no idea what I am talking about?  Then come watch the documentary.

Time to Taper,
