Hunt or be Hunted


An ominous #PB drew some Pax to Fartlek today (Frogger, Tantrum, etc.) while also keeping some away (98 Degrees).

Here is roughly what went down for 13 Pax at Fartlek:

0529:  The rules of the "game" are as follows:

  • Run on Wynfield Creek Parkway until you hit Gilead Road.  Run back on the same road.  That's it, easy route!  And would only be ~3 miles total.  But…
  • Supplement with any side street you want (1 turn only).  However…
  • Someone can "hunt" you and try to beat you to the end of the street and back to the main road.  If that happened, you did 50 Mericans.
  • But if "the hunted" actually won the race, the "hunter" owed 60 Mericans.

Recover, recover.  Mileage varied from ~4 miles to ~6 miles. 

Moleskin:

  1. We prayed for continued healing for our friend Fenway and Crab Leg's wife Jennifer.
  2. Speaking of Fenway, he picked up Megaphone during the run.  Nice!  Strong work today gents.
  3. And speaking of Crab Legs, thanks for the opportunity to lead today.  Apologies if some of us didn't get the usual ~10k worth of mileage. 
  4. Tagless started the game by turning left first on Parkcrest Street.  YHC wanted to set the tone for everyone and attempted to chase him.
  5. Later…Tagless would get his revenge forcing YHC to do 50 Mericans.  I won't say how many sets it took me to do 50…but it was greater than 1.
  6. Toxic commented that YHC needs to go to more bootcamps to fix that.  Duh!  Oh, we also know what we're getting Toxic for Christmas.
  7. We got Mac & Cheese off the "Kotters" list.  Good to see you bud, looking trim!
  8. Tantrum mixed in some sand-bagging and fast running into his strategy today.  We agreed this was a fun change up but could use a few tweeks.  This is something we'll probably bring back in a Co-Q.
  9. Ran with Jorel for a bit and we mutually agreed not to inflict Mericans on each other.  (Wait, did I just admit to cheating at my own game?)
  10. Ultraman and Frogger just did their thing and got a bunch of miles…and were probably not challenged by anyone.  Next time!
  11. Didn't see much of Burgoo and Die Hard which means they were simply crushing some miles as usual. 

Aye gents.  You all worked hard today so I don't plan to kill anyone in a Jigsaw like fashion. 

"He lives".
