With the Daytona 500 only a couple of days away, it was time to celebrate by engaging in some pre-race time trials throughout the Starmount Speedway. On this brisk February morning, 19 PAX ran a series of three sprint events at various locations. Here is how it unfolded:

Warm-A-Rama

  • SSH X 30 IC
  • Imperial Walker X 15

Sprint Series I

Light mosey across W. Market Street to Brentwood Rd. Brentwood is split into two parts (East and West) intersecting Madison to the North. The goal was to run clockwise along W. Brentwood to Madison Ave to E. Brentwood (this essentially forms a loop) completing three laps. YHC instructed the PAX to run the first lap at a 50% to 70% speed. On lap two and three, the PAX were to open all cylinders and push themselves to a 5K speed or faster. Most PAX finished three laps. Reconvene at 5:48 for…..

Sprint Series II

Head back across W. Market Street to the greenway and travel northwest along the greenway to Ashland Dr, The PAX were instructed to run (sprint up) Ardale Place hill twice.

Mosey to the church parking lot for a full court suicide sprint:

  • Start at baseline, run to first light pole and back
  • Run to second light pole and back
  • Run to end of parking lot and back
  • Plank until 6 is in
  • Rinse and repeat one more time

Head back down the hill, turn right onto Ashland Dr towards Arboretum entrance, take the greenway back to the basketball court.
