Were there really 5 FNG's…nope! Were there 5 pax who I forgot…quite possibly!
I texted Full Moon to see if his group was still running from The Green on Sat., he wasn't sure but did say that Crab Legs mentioned something about running. I also texted the guys I did Tuna with last year about running so I'd have some accountability for a long Sat. run. Through the various texts it was decided we would do the Presby, Shearers, Grey route…a gently rolling, kinda flattish 8 miles. Crabby promised he'd provide post run refreshment, and I should put a preblast on Twitter and Slack. I posted a preblast but forgot to mention the time and location…thank you Optimus for pointing out my inability to do a preblast.
I expected 5 – 6 guys to show up given the distance and the dang heat but when I rolled up to The Green, I was shocked! It looked like a Sunday morning expect it was all runners…not a cyclist in sight! Hell. Yes. (if you want to get the runners out, promise post run beverages)
Some ran fast, some ran slow, some ran the preblasted route, and some put in extra miles. At the end we all stood around, kinda sort but not really socially distant, and enjoyed some ACRT.
Moleskin:
- Huge t-claps to TOP and MRC for venturing into Davidson for a Sat. run
- Bigger t-claps to Crab Legs for bringing the refreshments which in turn brought out the crowd
- Mort was late but still finished before everyone else
- Little Finger slammed a beverage in less than 1.2 seconds! I'm not sure you can shotgun a beer faster than he can pour one down his throat
- This is the best route in Davidson, even though it does venture into Race City! Good downhill sections, long climbs, and Grey Rd. to finish. If you haven't run it, put it on your list, then let me know when you plan to do it, I'll join you in a heartbeat
- I still have my signature goofy grin on my face from seeing some many guys out yesterday
- Thank you Mailman for EH'ing me almost 7 years ago
- A HUGE thank you to everyone in F3, particularly the guys in F3LKN. Because of you, I'm in the best shape of my life physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Plus, I've laughed more in the past 7 years than I have in my entire life.
