…in fact no one made it to the end of the route. Read on for why.
0501: Standard with 9 Lives and Turncoat. TC led us on as flat a route as one could ask for given the neighborhood.
0530: Disclaimer given, route explained, time considerations explained.
The Thing:
- Run all the way down Wynfield Creek Pkwy, cross Gilead, and get onto the Greenway.
- Go right
- Go all the way to the new Greenway parking lot on Gilead, or turn back at 0550, whichever came first
- Well, Cobains. There was a section of the greenway under repair, and we all had to turn back about 2 miles in.
- Run back to the AO. Some stretched for a bit.
Recover, recover. Distance was about 4.25 miles, we had intended for 5.
Moleskin:
- We prayed for Ultraman's Mom.
- Crab Legs, Jaws, and Hotbox ran extra to get to 5 miles. Nice work gents. I shouldn't mention that Jaws was late for COT…er…
- We were supposed to remind Jorel to say something to Frogger at COT. Sound off if that happened. Something about "you'll run slow my @@@ Frogger!"
- I'd normally say something snarky about Toxic here. But honestly I'm impressed with his running. Nice work on a cold day my dude.
- Turncoat gets to leave this cold weather for some nice Daytona weather. Enjoy the start to the season and hope you can grab some warmer miles.
- YHC promised 9 Lives that we'd get 7 miles. Instead, he only got 6.08. Sorry my dude!
- To everyone, apologies for the route. And to make matters worse, as we were stopped on the course, a runner came over from the other side – proving it was possible. But, it was nearly 0550 anyway and time to get back. We shall bring this route back this spring and perhaps start a few minutes earlier.
- Thank you Crab Legs for the opportunity to lead. Humble request for Pax to sign up to Q Fartlek, or Crab Legs may threaten again to move it to an 0515 start. Get on that calendar!
Appreciate you gents.
