Mighty Oak Leg Day and Chad 1000X Preview


YHC forecasted in the pb that today would be leg day and a Chad 1000X preview / warmup.  10 faithful pax who agree with YHC that we shant skip leg day decided to join.  Here's what the rest of the pax missed:

0500: Turnpike cajoled YHC into a nice slowsy 2 mile #Standard up to St. Mark's parking lot and back.  I caught him up on the Goatbusters' recent 4 Pass Loop adventure in Aspen.

0530Main event.

Mosey loop around the parking lot, stopping at the usual warmup spot, near a carpet delivery van that was making an awfully early carpet delivery.
