11 Pax posted to this week’s episode of Laces Out. And what an episode it was. This was my 2nd Q in 12 hours having Q’d Ruck n Gun the previous evening. To be honest I was a bit tired and a bit sore. But that all would give way in about 20-30 minutes where I would be experiencing light-headedness and an overwhelming urge to throw up. Is this a track workout? I have no idea but we ran on a track, so yeah, I guess! Pusher and Santini hit the road while the rest of us moseyed to the track.

*Fast 5 Training
YHC got it into his head that it would be a great idea to simulate the Fast 5 this morning on the track. There were 9 of us but Longshanks wanted to run around the track with a sandbag, so we left him to that. 8 Pax partnered up in two’s. Partner 1 runs a lap as fast as he can and then hands off to partner 2. While Partner 2 is running the lap, partner 1 is recovering. We did this for 30 minutes and it was vomit-inducing. You can call it speed work. You can call it stupid. I call it #CSAUP. I think everyone left better than they came.

– Hi Hat and WhatDid are #fast
– Old Bay is a machine. He’s a good pick up for a Fast5 team
– Longshanks did a little of everything. He’s got a Spartan next week at Fort Bragg. Good luck buddy!
– Max HR for me was 201 (is that good or bad)
– Great to meet Shady and Blades (hope they come back ;))
– Chaser is a great partner. I’m not saying he’s slow I’m just thankful for the recovery periods.
