YHC kicked off the 1st week of the Afton Iron Q challenge yesterday.  As YHC was thinking about a plan for the week, YHC remembered Tugboat Willie mentioned he was planning to Q 3 of the Dawg House workouts on his Iron Q week in addition to the 3 at Afton. Soooo, not wanting to be out done, YHC grabbed Tues, Thurs, and Friday at the DH to make it a full week of 6 Q’s.  Today was round 2, which brought YHC back to the Dawg House cruise for the 1st time in many weeks.  YHC has been sleeping in and running late, which has been pretty nice with one big exception… missing the fellowship and push that comes with cruising with the Dawgs early in the morning.

YHC mentioned on slack that we would be exploring one of Uecker’s NOT favorite routes this am, but which would it be???  12 Dawgs showed to find out (9 runners and 3 ruckers).  YHC let the pax know that this would be a return to Peak 2 Peak.  As the clock hit 5:30 well trotted off into some not to shabby weather.  We made our way to segment and off we went… up and down, up and down, and on and on.  In the end, all the pax knocked out some solid miles with some great climbing mixed in

The ruckers walked off into the dark to do whatever it is that they do.  We spotted them a few times along the way grinding.  Unfortunately, they were running behind, so YHC had require some motivational double timing to get back in the kennel on time.

Great being back at the Dawghouse this am and seeing all the hard work.  Mayhem came out of retirement and put in strong work, including an extra credit run with YHC.  Felt like old times having Habs out and YHC especially enjoyed mentioning that Talladega wrecked him at Bristol then stepping back so they could hug it out.  Dega gets a sticker for running to and from the kennel.  Loveboat was cruising up and down those hills like he was out to sea on the smooth ocean. Sausage and Dr. Seuss joined the cruise for their 1st run in a while and looked strong.  Great work boys.  Yellowcake clocked in put in his usual business like performance.  Ticonderoga has become a regular on the ruck which is awesome to see.  Porto put in a strong 2nd day of work this week, if  only we could teach him how to park.  Torch kept grinding and really responded strong when I gave a little Dabo message to provide double time motivation at the end.  Last but not least, it was really heart warming knowing Uecker got to revisit Peak2Peak.

Great work this morning men!  #ironsharpensiron
