22 of @F3Isotope finest and fittest men, along with it’s fittest dog, ran Fartlek this beautiful morning. After crushing the Wynfield Parkway, the pax were cruising the Torrence Creek Greenway when progress came to a sudden halt due to a fallen tree across the path. Apparently, the work of the beaver that the Candy Shop crew spotted on Friday, taking revenge on us for shining a light in his eyes and disrupting his early morning dam-building work. The Fartlek thoroughbreds, who typically like to run without the interruption of obstacles, showed their fortitude and adaptability, and worked together to clear the tree. However, not before it took a bite out of Little Finger’s shin. Some black magic work of the Torrence Creek Beaver, no doubt.
The pax completed 4 to 5 miles, before joining for a naming celebration of FNG-1, formerly known as Livingston, now forever known as “Burning Man”, at least in F3 circles. Burning Man is originally from the Mojave Desert of California, spent 10 years in the Air Force, and has been in the Charlotte area for 6 years. He works as a Project Manager for a sustainable energy company and has a wife and 3 children ranging from 2 to 11, but somehow finds time to train with Mini Me for an upcoming triathlon. Welcome Burning Man! And thanks Mini Me for EH’ing him.
It was great to see Pit Stop, Black Eyed Pea and The Count back at Fartlek, and a strong showing by many of the usual suspects. Great work today men!
Prayers went out to Enron’s mother and step mother and all mothers and care givers.
Thanks Enron for allowing me the opportunity to lead such a fine group of men…and your fine dog.
