RAW #242 - Fartlek through Lake Austin / Enfield / Expo

TONIGHT - We're going to do a 3-4 mile Fartlek down Lake Austin, through Scenic, and then back home to the bar. The goal is to start at 7.05 from Deep Eddy and be back to Deep Eddy pool at 7.45 (30 mins of hard running) so people can jump in if they want to. The pool is $3 AND closes at 8, so we have to get back with a few minutes to spare if you want to do this.We're going to stick together the WHOLE workout, so if you're near the front, you'll be turning around after every repeat to snag everyone. The loop is bar to Lake Austin to Enfield to Expo back to Lake Austin and home. It'll be closer to 4 miles for those running a bit faster (you'll be turning around) and 3.5 for those making it a straight shot. This is a new workout and we have no clue how it'll go, but let's give it a shot!AFTER THE WORKOUTHead to the Springs followed by some Deep Eddy / Pool Burger actionNext WeekWoodmont RAW AT THE RACESTwo RAW OG's were back at it this weekend reliving their glory days. Ryan Fenton won a local 5k in Round Rock and Patrick Hitchins took Colt and Crystal on their first family vacation to Under Armour's Mountain Trail Running Series in Bend, Oregon!Also, Jess Baker (Ryan's girlfriend and frequent RAW bar visitor) did her first ever 5k without stopping, which is super awesome and a big accomplishment. And now she's ready for RAW :)Announcements-RAW Swag! We have some - shirts and singlets are $15 each, and are the highest quality Under Armour material there is.
