Hill of a Time Trial

Northeast Tennessee Johnson City The Hill (Science Hill)

5 runners, 3 ruckers, and 2 IPC PAX rolled into The Hill on a gloomy, soggy 40ish degree Monday morning. With Christmas Eve in less than 24 hours, work needed to be done to get a head start on the calorie burn to offset the holiday feasting.

THE THANG
The rain threw a wrench in the original plan which involved a significant amount of stadium running. Luckily, The Hill offers enough that an audible is fairly simple. That being said, the audible Q turned out to be a smoker. The runners gathered at the goal line for the following routine:

  • Run to the opposite goal line and back
  • Run a lap around the track
  • Run a set of step suicides
  • Back to the goal line and run to the opposite 10 and back
  • Run a lap around the track
  • Run a set of step suicides
  • Back to the goal line and run to the opposite 20 and back
  • Continue this rotation reducing the field run by 10 yards each round until running the entire field

Total was somewhere in the range of 4.5-4.9 miles in just over 40min. This Q will from here forward be known as The Hill Time Trial. Goal is to finish the routine in 45min or less.

Work was done, calories burned, and visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.
