Michigan Circle
All All MECA BackblastsJune 19th, 2017
15 Pax took the #DRP and started the week off right. Most of us looked refreshed after having a good Father’s Day. Prayers for @DickTracy and others that have lost important men in their lives.
Thankfully two brothers took the bait and joined YHC on the pre-run. When one of them showed up in a “Beat Michigan” shirt, YHC knew things could get interesting. It was good that @BBQ was there pulling us along. We definitely would have been slower if he wasn’t there, but glad he was because that’s how you get stronger.
That’s another reason why F3 is great. Slower guys chase the fast guys. The fast guys chase the timer on their wrist, trying to get a PR in the next event, and we all get faster.
We barely made it back to the start in time. @BBQ knew a “shortcut”, but there was a new gate installed since the last time he was there. More opportunity to get stronger and double time it back!
After a couple sips of water, it was GO TIME. It went something like this.
Mosey to bathroom building

Good to see all the Dawgs again after being away for a couple weeks.
T-claps to @TeenSpirit for his first pre-run. I see #BRR2019 or #TimeLaps in your future. Nice work.
T-claps to @Pharaoh on the Tabata. Increasing the rep count starting at round 5. #strong @BBQ was on my other side also killing it. Who’s the guy in the middle that keeps stopping to rest?? … oh, that was YHC.
I was too out of breath for much mumblechatter this morning, but I hope everyone had a great Father’s day. A strong Father is probably the most important role model for the kids. Praying that we all do our best and take time away from our phones, hobbies, work, etc. and take time to let the 2.0s know how much we care and build their character along the way.

Great start to the week guys. Thanks for coming out.
Good workout. Circle was brutal
Good one this AM. Thankful we only had 2 rounds of tabatas. Good running with you and TeenSpirit and a sorry about the gate. But hey, we made it back just like you wanted with 5 min…I mean seconds to spare.
Mosey to Michigan Circle:
I was pretty tired and groggy by this point but I think we are supposed to reserve “Michigan Circle” for when exercising near Dumpsters.
Strong lead, @FlipPhone….but I’m not calling that island by that name!
Good discussion by 5 at Endurance as well. And there was entertainment. #showtoknow
