  • 610 Stomp #162 – Run!

    Late Monday, a request for a 610 Stomp Q went unanswered, so YHC committed to taking it, which would also make sure I got my hind end out there! RY mentioned that we might have an exchange student posting Down Range, but the late night temptations of New Orleans probably contributed to the Fartsack. Regardless the reason, no visitor today. YHC arrived to the AO with three minutes to spare and 5 other usual suspects of F3 looking lost in the gloom. With two shovel flags planted and a working streetlight, YHC gave the minimal version of the disclaimer, and said to be back at 0610. We ran……
    Smooth, Rudy, Cowbell, and El Guapo took off way ahead as expected. Thankfully Heisenberg was there to keep YHC company. Not that we were slow. 4.2 miles in 38 minutes, equivalent to a 9:04 pace, is nothing to sneeze at! That sub-9:00 pace is right around the corner!!

    We somehow brought our numbers from 6 to 7 at the COT. Hawgcycle rode his bike to the Stomp, but it was apparent his ETA was a little off. Regardless, he got some good miles in, and still rode his bike home! Well done!!!
    There are lots of opportunities to Q the Stomp. Feel free to change things up, or keep it traditional. Step up and Lead! Remember, leading a workout is how you give back to F3!

  • 610 Stomp: Through the Woods and up the Mountain

    6 F3 vets gathered around an actual flag on this perfectly gloomy morning.

    DISCLAIMER

    YHC was feeling like a throwback was due to mix things up a bit.

    The route:
    Go under 610 and take a left, past the dog park and cross harrison ave. (~1.5 miles)
    enter the woods of greater New Orleans, follow the trail (and Hawg) til we reach the highest land elevation in the city, just behind the rocky mountains in total feet. (~.5 miles)

    Once at the top, conveniently, there was a perfect ledge for #ISI. 2 minutes of Rocky Balboa’s.

    Head back to the flag (~2 miles) with 5 minutes to spare.

    30 X LBC
    20 X American Hammer
    20 X Crunchy Frog (RIP Shorty)
    20 X Penguin
    10 X J-Lo (RIP Amnesty)

    Finished with COT.

    Thanks for letting me lead!

  • Bayou Andme

    Well YHC was covering Q today for Shooter. Set my alarm and ran out the door a little early eager to lead the pack in the Northshore run day routine. And YHC led the PAX to the lakefront’s sunset point and raced on the pier. YHC won the race of course because the PAX allowed him to in order to boost YHC’s confidence as Q. However on the return, YHC started to tire out and the PAX beat YHC back to the starting place in the final push to the finish line. We then ended with 5 rounds of pullups pursuant to the monthly challenge of pull ups and BOM.
