June 15th, 2016 By The Nanny

17 pax clocked in to do some serious work this morning.  It was hot, muggy, and exhausting.  17 men left our AO better off than when they showed up.  Aye!

The Thang:

1. Millstream repeats.  Parkway to Christenbury to Millstream, lap that sucka 1, 2, or 3 times, and head home.
2. 140 feet of climb per lap.  5.5 miles for a full Triple Peak.
3. Wonder how you stack up?  Check out the 2016 leaderboard for the segment called “Millstream Climb” back up to the traffic circle.  https://www.strava.com/segments/10162559?filter=overall I prefer to sort the leaderboard in ascending order by heart rate….

The Naked Moleskin:

1. So many happy people heading down Millstream to start their first lap.  So many sad people coming up Millstream to complete their first lap.
2. Today was brutal with the humidity and heat.  Heck, I was sweating in the car just driving TO the workout.  That run back to the school after the laps were done was torture – BUT a great opportunity to get a taste of what running some legs of the BRR is like.  The more you persevere through tough runs like today, the faster and more fun you will have out in the mountains.
3. Chatted with J-lo after the run and he has an awesome surprise lined up for your kids during F3 Highlands Dads Camp @ Montreat.  Something they will be talking about afterwards to all their friends…  What?!  You are not signed up for camp yet?  Get in touch with Nanny….  Join the other 14 dads and their barbarian horde of 2.0s.
4. This is turning into “everything you want to know about J-lo” but turns out this joker has been to Disney World like 200 times.  If you are planning a trip, consult with him first.  Ask him what his favorite ride is – you’ve never heard of it.
