Skywalker TNT!
All All MECA BackblastsDecember 19th, 2016
9 men came out for what the Q thought would be a mild December run but mother nature had other plans for us. 0530:30- YHC finally figures out how to turn on his borrowed headlamp and the fun can begin. On the menu for today is was Skywalker TNT (Track & Trail).
Mosey out of the AO directly into the snowy/icy headwind, right on North Green, Right on Linksland all the way to the dead end and pick up Jack’s Trail (Strava name). Add an extra disclaimer about uneven ground and announce that the PAX should have taken my Twitter advice about bringing a headlamp. Successfully navigate the trail and pop out at our beloved Skywalker Track. It’s a ~.4 mile scenic walking track around goose poop pond that, in true Skywlaker fashion, includes a hill.
The Thang:
- 3 laps around the track
- Lap 1- Slow mosey to get acquainted
- Lap 2- AYG full sprint (Google wins!)
- Lap 3- Slow recovery mosey
- 1 Lap around and stop at each of the 4 lover’s benches for 15 Dips and 15 Merkins
- Partner up
- Run opposite directions and perform 10 handshake merkins when you meet
- Run back to the start for 10 pat-a-cake situps
- Repeato
Time to head home. Out Jack’s Trail and hop on the golf course for a straight shot back to the AO.
COT & BOM
MoleSkin:
- Great push by everyone out there today. It’s no surprise that Google stayed out in front most of the morning. He now bears the strava crown as king of The Skybrook Track. Who will be the one to break the 2 minute record and knock him off his throne?
- Time Laps recruiting is in full swing- details here.
- Dirty got taken down by a calf injury somewhere along the way. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you brother.
- Thirsty Thursday this week at 26 Acres (Soft, soft openeing), then Next week for the soft opening, and then the following week (1st Thursday of the month) for the offical 2017 launch of Thirsty Thursdays at 26.
- Hope you men have a merry Christmas and remember what the holiday is about. #keepChristinChristmas
- Make it a great day!

Nice workout. Exhausted at the end (and during). Head lamps mandatory!
You’re a machine Astro. Way to get out in the cold after your long run on Saturday.
This machine needs some oiling today I think
Thanks for following me around this morning and stretching out those legs a little bit.
I’m hoping Santa brings me a head lamp for Christmas! Jack’s trail is a little dark and scary this time of year. Dirty, I hope the calf heals up quickly. Thanks for the lead Grinder, it’s a great way to start the week.
Always enjoy the TNT (except the ‘all out’ part). Very unique little route that is and that ‘little hill’ at the Clubhouse is like a punch to the throat! Thanks for partnering up with me Hugo, next time you get the uphill sit-ups.
I’ve been struggling to get out on Mondays, glad I made the right choice today. Thanks Chowder!
Oh and T-claps to Nanny for shorts AND t-shirt! Brrrrrrrrrrr!
