5 pax came prepared for a smorgasbord of elevation induced pain….and left fully satiated.  Impressive to have not one, but two #Chickenfoot FNGs this morning.  Both @Wild Turkey and @Eggnog agreed that the hype was legit.  This thing is a monster.

The Thang:

1. If you want the gory route details, go read last week’s post.  We ran up, we ran down.  Repeato.  800ft of climb over 4 miles.  Show me any other workout in Charlotte that delivers 200 vertical feet per mile b/c I want to go there.

The Naked Moleskin:

1. Quite a crowd gathered at the start.  Awesome.  The Friday Chicken #Speed message is getting delivered.  Oh…. you are here for the Skywalker 1 yr anniversary beat down.  Sure… I knew that.  Hey much, much smaller group…follow me to the tip of the chickenfoot.
2. Yep, two FNG’s.  Will they be back next Friday?
3. Enjoyed hearing about the disaster that was @Bling’s trial approach to breathing a new way whilst running.  “If it aint broke…and it is breathing adequately…don’t fix it” may be the jist of his story once you hear it….
4. Filibuster was feeling frisky b/c Strava showed he nabbed like 18 personal best records this morning.
