8 pax strapped on their BRR bibs and sunk their teeth into a big ole #ChickenFoot.  You want to be tortured with climbs more severe than what you will find at the BRR?  Come on out and gnaw on a #Chickenfoot.  Why is this workout called #Chickenfoot?  Take a look at the Strava map.

The Thang:

1. Depart Skybrook Golf Clubhouse parking lot, right on Northgreen Dr, and then begin the torture.
2. First leg is down hill and left onto cart path until the spot where we turn around (need to follow someone) then back to the top of Northgreen.
3. Second leg is all the way down and back up Northgreen until you hit Fairwoods Dr then back to where you started.
4. Third leg is down Northgreen and right onto cart path, around the new lake formed from last night’s rain, and up to the 150 yard marker then back to the top of Northgreen.  That is one lap of #Chickenfoot good for about 1.3 miles and 266 ft of climb.
5. Most guys bagged 3 laps which netted them 4 miles and 800 feet of climb.  That kind of climb is not too crazy for a BRR leg, but at the BRR it is usually done in double the mileage.
6. Today’s run: https://www.strava.com/activities/633971209

The Naked Moleskin:

1. 300% increase in pax this week?  Oh yea, they heard the call of the chicken.  Gobble gobble?  No…that’s a turkey…the other other white meat.  How do you type out what a chicken says?
2. Alcatraz posted his virgin run on Strava with this morning’s #Chickenfoot.  That is one heck of a first run.  Look for him on Strava if you are not already connected.
3. Chowder was feeling frisky this morning, took off like a shot and never gave up the lead.  T-claps.
4. Google was a late arrival but it looks to me like he was gaining on all of us the entire run.  Pretty sure he even got his full three laps in.
5. There was a serious BRR sales pitch going on post COT and Genie is millimeters from making a HC to be our #2 BRR alternate.  He tried to offer up another guy (Hutch) as a sacrifice to get Chowder to stop EH’ing him, but to no avail.  We are looking for Hutch to now be alternate #3.
