Warm-O-Rama
Short little jog down to the middle of the 8.
The Thang
YHC took the finishing times from the Crazy85k on 7/28/20 and handicapped the starts to anticipate the entire PAX finishing at the same time (instead of starting at the same time) – A starting order based on the reverse finishing order from 7/28. PAX without a time from 7/28 jumped in where they thought their time would be. YHC encouraged the PAX to only pass and not be passed during the next 3 miles.
The last lap was crowded with a large number of PAX all convening at the finish line within a minute of each other. For some, it was the first mile, kilometer, or 5k that had been run in a long time. Many HIMs reported PR’s for single miles, kilometers, 2 mile and 3 mile distances. It appears that the entire PAX ran faster or longer than at least in recent memory, if not ever.
Circle of Trust
Biggest Crazy 8 circle yet!
Naked Man Moleskin
Even though YHC was hoping for a competition and push from the PAX based on the design of the beatdown, he was blown away at the push that each PAX gave this morning. We all need others to push us, take us out of our comfort zone, keep us honest with ourselves in order to become better men (or faster runners). YHC gave everyone the permission to put him back in line and speak into his life if the circumstance warrants. We must lead ourselves before we can lead our community and we can’t do that unless others are pushing us.
