#Amble Report: The Final Countdown

After awakening to a torrential downpour, 11 Pax braved the storm for another Owens Field track installment of #Amble.  To almost everyone’s surprise, the storm passed over fifteen minutes before go-time leaving nothing but the workout to complain about.  And it was truly one worth complaining about which almost guarantees “The Countdown” will be repeated.

Conditions: 73 degrees with 93% humidity… but for the storm still dissipating.

The Thang:  The Countdown… and back up.

COT & BOM

Moleskin:

• Special thanks to Splinter for the suggested workout.  Always nice to have a sprint coach among the Pax.
• Strong work by the Amble crew.  Getting up amidst this morning’s storm and heading to the track takes at least as much discipline as doing the workout itself.  ‘Proud to see such a strong group.  given the ultimate conditions, a track day was ideal… in spite of the steeplechase inspired water hazards on turn 1.
• Please keep Robber’s mother in your prayers.
