Is this a 1st F? Is this a 2ndF? Is this a CSAUP? Will there seriously be bacon? Yes! Yes to all! We’ve come a long way in the 7 months since we ran for glory in the first Fast 5. Here are just a few insights from YHC and Anchorman:
• We increased our count of 11 teams (55 runners) to 22 teams (110 runners)
• We invited FiA to join the festivities and they posted 4 teams. Tclaps ladies.
• We had an All Clydesdale team!
• A couple of 2.0 Teams
• #Drones are cool (Thanks Old Bay)
• No pigs were harmed in the making…oh wait! Never mind!
• 10 pounds of bacon is expensive and goes quick post-race!
• The guys from SOB are still #fast
This race is a competition, but it’s also more about fellowship, family and friends. It’s apparent by the number of Ms, 2.0s and Pax that showed! In all, there were more than 175 people. It’s the Pax and their families that make this event fun and special. Tclaps to y’all! And now…
THE THANG:
Pax arrived to the smell of sizzling bacon thanks to Anchorman. As they all started to spill out onto the track and field, some began to warm up and some decided to sample bacon. Both good choices. The sights and sounds of 2.0s playing and running around was proof on what this event is all about. All teams checked in it was time for a little COP led by YHC:
COP
• SSH X10 IC
• Imperial Walkers X11 or X12 IC
• Windmills X10 IC
• Merkins X10ish IC
• Mountain Climbers X10 IC
• Low Slow Squat X10 IC
• 10 Burpees OYO
BOM with Anchorman.
Teams then lined up on the opposite side of the field for the start. Thanks to Funhouse for reminding us we should use batons for this relay race. Batons set, FiA teams and 2.0s had choice starting positions, and the race was off! The screaming sounds of encouragement from teammates and families, along with the zipping by of the drone made this an exciting race. 5 runners, 5 kilometer, relay style! Two and a half laps of “All You Got!” for each runner (harder than it seems). All the energy, trash talk and hype leading up to this event and it was all over in less than 25 minutes. When the dust settled, this is how everything shook out:

The event was followed up by the 2.0 Fun Run of 1 Lap and then it was time for a little tailgating. If you didn’t stick around, you missed Assassin’s bacon, potato and cheese casserole. It was a great time all around. The next Fast 5 will be in the Fall. Until then the Fast 5 trophy remains somewhere safe in the bowels of Ballantyne. Congrats to the Clandestine SOBs for defending their title. And congrats to FiA “Baby Got Track” for coming out on top as well!
