#Amble Report: When you wish upon a star (or Tibata)

A gloomy and humid morning greeted 9 pax at the Owens Field track today. Most expected a typical Fountainhead sprintfest but YHC took the reins as a last minute (and fresh off vacation) substitute QIC and led the predetermined Tibata sprint circuit.

• During the warm-up mile most pax couldn’t help but notice a vibrant shooting star (so we thought) on the horizon. One runner correctly noted that we actually witnessed part of the 2013 installment of the annual Perseid Meteor shower which was said to have peaked overnight and into this morning.
• This was a solid sprint workout and all credit for its creation goes to Fountainhead.  He works hard to make #Amble what it is and was under the weather this morning.  It was a pleasure facilitating his workout. Get well, F-Head!
• T-Claps to Slumdog for showing excellent speed during the Tibata.
• T-Claps to Stent for tacking on an extra lap or two during at the end. #mobileCOT
