A trio of studs kicked the week off right with a tour of Tarrington and some quality time on Twin Team hill. Here’s how it went:

BWES toward the river and the back entrance of Tarrington;

Right on Riverton Right until the roundabout, over to Sheffield and up to Ashwell

Left around the Ashwell loop, then left again to Robious

cut through the path onto Powderham Lane/Old Robious

down Twin Team; back up Twin Team (!), and down again

BTTF

Numbers, names, YHC took us out.

Announcements: HDHH, Puppy Pile and Field Day all coming soon.

NMMS: it was great to run with Splinter and Corned Beef this morning. Splinter’s watch said 8.2 miles and it sure felt like it going back up that Twin Team hill at the end.

Make it a great one!

Two BRR trainees met for hill repeats up Twin Team. Five repeats, 4.62 miles and 652 feet of elevation gain.

…’cause a two-lap party don’t stop. At least, that’s what was reported by a pair of SOJ stallions at River Run this morning. Here’s how it went.

• Mosey from BWES to the Swamp (800m)
• 4 x 800m at speed, 400m recovery
• Mosey BTTF (800m)

Prescribed mileage is 4, adding a 400m intro and another 800+400 lap gets you to 5.

NMMS: it was great to run with Singer this morning. The track can be a tough one to do OYO, so it’s great to have some mutual accountability and support out there to prevent track-sacking.

make it a great one!

We run for the joy.
Some say it's a waste of time;
We must pity them.

Three road warriors shed the fartsack this morning to start the week with a run by the river. Here’s how it went:

• BWES down to the Swamp/JRHS and back around to Robius, left to the Twin Team cul-de-sac
• Up Twin Team Hill, right on Brigstock
• Brigstock to Mt Hill Drive, tale a right and run the loop into Brigstock again
• Left on Brigstock and out to the top of the Twin Team Hill
• Down to the cul-de-sac and back up Twin Team Hill [this part sucked. Big time]
• BTTF along Robious and behind BWES – cut through playground for time

Numbers, names, Boberry took us out.

Announcements:

• Posey VQ at No Toll tomorrow
• Hitchhiker house party on 7/17
• New SOJ AO launches next Monday – “Rock n Roll” (Rockwood Park); see Florence for deets
• Thanks offered for Boberry’s new digs and the PAX who helped him move

NMMS: YHC was grateful for the company this morning. Holding each other accountable and pushing each other to be the best versions of ourselves is what F3 is all about.

Make it a great one!

YHC decided to try to find his way through Tarrington again this week. At the first circle take a hard left, take 3rd right, take the next 3 rights. There’s the hills, out to Robious Rd cross and head down Twin Team around JRHS and back to BW

NMS: Still looking for friends to join in on all the Monday fun at River Run

Uno Amego out for a run at BWES this morning. YHC decided to run the Tarrington route today but took the wrong right turn after the first round about and ended up cutting off about a mile and two hills. by the time YHC realized his mistake it was too late to back track. Run must have been right around 4 miles and the pace might have been around the 8 min mark. YHC no longer has a fancy GPS watch so distance and pace are difficult to keep track of.

With Winklevoss and Crash Test Dummy getting ready to graduate later this afternoon YHC needed a bit of normal to start the morning. 5:30 and it looks like YHC is on his own for the day. Headed to Twin Team for some repetition. 5 times up and down the hill and back to the flag, mission accomplished. For those of you with younger kids, watch out it goes quicker than you think.

3 runners posted at the slowly reopening River Run AO to see where Doozy wanted to take them.

An OG River Downs 5 mile route was called

Circle around by JRHS to the front of River Downs take the second left up the little hill, turn right at the stop sign and head to Gumbo’s house. At Gumbo’s house turn around in the cul-de-sac and head back the same way you came.

NMS:

YHC wanted to incorporate some hill work but still thought the mileage was good, perfect for the River Downs route. YHC did have to text Gumbo to verify the exact way the route was run.
