YHC was itching to do some hill sprints (still don’t know why), so I got there a little early for a prerun recon at 5.  Clover and Silas had already gotten there for a little pre run of their own.  Headed over to the side of the Teeter and found a good 1/5 mile loop with a nice long hill.  Came back to the AO at 520 and Clover and Silas come out from the gloom.

YHC had been watching a decent line of storms heading into the area with some fllashes in the distance, and of course it looked set on hitting us around 545.  Chum, and Manbun roll in, its 530 so we get it after it.

We head over for a preview lap.  First 3 laps go about 50% up the hill, mosey around back down the hill.  Next 2 bump it up to 75%, and then the final 5 all you got up the hill.  All was good up until about lap 5 and that is when the fun began.  Light rain for a few minutes and then came the frog strangler, accompanied by a refreshing 20mph breeze.  Rain was going sideways and it was oh so nice.  And out of the gloom who should appear, but the man himself Booyah has joined the pax.

We finish up the 10 laps, and decide to finish the session with a decent paced mosey through the back neighborhood.  Rain continued as we eventually headed back to the AO for COT.  All in all it had been awhile since we had enjoyed an all out soaker, and it felt good to get a solid beatdown and a cleansing shower at the same time.

Tclaps for Silas and Clover getting in a good prerun

Shout out to Booyah who ran a mile from his house to the AO in the rain, and then ran back home after beatdown in the rain, refusing a dry lift back home.

Looking forward to the next time – Nimbus
