Crab Legs DM'd on Twitter asking what the plan was for OTB and said "Some are looking for 6 to 10", the funny thing is I just had a conversation about Grey Rd. being a favorite route! So after asking him to "define some" I replied saying I was thinking about Grey and they could add Abersham to get 8.

The preblast went out only saying we would run my favorite route.

The usual suspects were there and some unexpected pax showed which was a pleasant surprise!

4 guys ran Grey, Shearers, Presby and the rest of us ran a modified beast. No one ran the preblasted route or the suggested long route…my influence as the Q of OTB is less than when I was MQ of Halflife!

MOLESKIN:

  • LD is 9 months (I think) removed from a heart attack and is out there putting in the work almost daily if you need any sort of inspiration…he's your man
  • By the time we hit Grey Rd, it was very clear who the speed demons were on this morning, Methane and LF opened a significant gap that continued to increase throughout the run
  • The next group was Tiny, Frogger, & Crab. Tiny turnaround at the top of the big hill and was back at The Green well before the rest of us that did the modified Beast
  • Jorel never likes to run Grey Rd. yet he crushes it and talks the whole time…not sure why he hates it so much.
  • I always enjoy running with The Count, and this morning was no exception until he reminded me that I am running Myrtle Beach Marathon next year and my goal is to BQ (8:47 pace)! Don't tell him but, I'm not running with him anymore.
  • There were a lot of guys on bikes wearing spandex as well…who cares what they did

AYE!
