Pork Chop (Biscuit) Hill

All All MECA Backblasts

September 2nd, 2015 By Gamma

7 and a dog set out for this week’s edition of Road Warrior. If the other six were on twitter, they’d have known we would be finding a hill. The upside is we only found two hills. The downside is we ran them over and over and over. It was no GnarlyGoat #bonesaw, but definitely had some teeth.

The Route
Out Main Street across Roberta, weave around the through the neighborhood for a ~1 mile warm-up run to the Harrisburg Methodist parking lot. From there, we ran up 49, or has Magnificent called it, Bojangles Hill, but maybe should be Pork Chop Biscuit Hill. But I digress…

At the top of the aforementioned hill, turn right down the Patricia Ave hill to Morris, then back up, and back down to Harrisburg Methodist. Repeat that ‘L’ as many times as you can until 0605, then back to the launch point.

COT with the Warrior One pax

1. Nice work this morning. Overall we covered 4.3-4.8 miles, with at least 2.5 of those on the hills.
2. Good battle between Magnificent and Solo Cup on the hills. Magnificent seemed a little motivated by Bull’s trash talking yesterday, and Solo Cup just keeps getting faster. I think the special forces, night ops, head-lamp may have given Magnificent the edge today.
3. Strong work by Papa John and Turf Toe as well, who weren’t far behind the leaders. UCB would certainly have been up front as well but decided to stay with the #six (aka, YHC). I don’t think hills were in his Iron Man training plan for today.
4. Swami and Petey took a detour to stay off 49, but still got 4ish miles and found there way back just in time for COT.
5. Diesel fumes are good for training, right?

Pax tibi,
Gamma

    Thanks for coming out this morning. Never would be running – ever – without this group pushing me.

    @UCB – thanks for hanging back with me. Enjoyed the conversation and the training tips.

    Pork Chop (Biscuit) Hill is it’s new official name…

    A bit of clarification on the “battle” between @TheMagnificent and I. His goal was to lap me, which he successfully did the last time up the hill. #Strong

    @TurfToe was breathing down my neck the whole time. @PapaJohns, I’m always looking in the rearview mirror at you creeping up behind me…

    True, but given the 15(?) years you have on him, I was giving you a one lap handicap, so I’m calling it a tie.

      I’ll take two and say I beat him

    Thanks @Gamma!

    I was actually referring to Patricia hill as bojangles hill, but definitely agree with pork chop biscuit hill for 49.

    @SoloCup you gave me a good challenge that morning. You’ll definitely be ready for BRR.

    Strong work by all pax that morning and great lead @Gamma!

    @Gamma great convo. Nice work done by all.
