A Run and Spartan 101

PAX: Beano, Choo Choo

Leaving work, I was excited for my first PM workout in over two years, and I was anxious to see who would show up for my first workout at the Afterburn.  I battled traffic from work and finally entered the Bull City Running parking lot a few minutes late.  As I swerved the car around into a free space, I saw Choo Choo standing by the Bull City entrance.  He was alone, stretching, and waiting for someone else to arrive.  This ended up being only a two-man excursion north on the ATT.  We ran roughly a mile north and then headed right to run through the trails of the Woodlake Community.  With Choo Choo at this point being a wise sage of all things Spartan,  I decided to question him on our 5-mile run about all the tips and tricks he had discovered during past events.  We covered shoes, socks, running strategies, obstacle strategies, hydration, nutrition, Floyd-isms, etc.  We kept a good pace over the five miles but still enjoyed good fellowship.

I truly wish I had the ability to make to the Afterburn more often.  Dinner has never tasted so good.

Choo Choo – Best of luck as you continue to rehab the injury, buddy!
