Eleven Harrisburg & East Charlotte Pax representing four BRR2017 teams got some strenuous off-the-books hill work in scaling Morrow Mountain on a muggy Saturday morning.

Depart from Hawthorne’s at 0615 for the 45 minute drive to the top of mountain (Deuce and Dr Doolittle made the drive separately from east Charlotte)

The Thang

• run down the mountain road to the split which leads to the river access
• run back up to the top
• repeato x 2 or 3 … or more?

Moleskin

Eleven was a great showing for this tough workout.

The last half mile of that road is no joke … 340 ft climb in a half mile works out to a 13% grade … YHC felt every step of it too … excellent BRR prep guys

Dr Doolottle looked super strong the whole time … I hear talk of him getting 8 BRR legs?

• Segundo, Flip Phone, Exit 54, Dr Doolittle, Hootie, BBQ, Bull, SS Minnow got in at least thee trips up the beast
• Flintsone, Big Bird, Deuce conquered it at least twice

Everyone pushed there limits on that steep grade this morning … it will pay off come September

As if the 2nd F in the clown cars to and from the mountain wasn’t enough, we stopped at the Waffle House in Albemarle on the way back.

• That was the biggest breakfast YHC has consumed in a long time … more than canceled out the calories burned on the mountain
• Also, YHC is also not sure that the Waffle House stop was totally ‘M approved’ in advance  …  but additional 2nd F was had by all, so I am sure all the M’s were very understanding
