Run back to the school (~1 mi.) via Stonecroft to the concession area and plank up to wait for the 6

Moleskine:

Great work by everyone today.  I was a little nervous about my VQ but once we got underway the nerves subsided, plus knowing I only had to count to 3 made it easier!  I thought Run Stopper was going to need a backup BRR runner after a near misstep on the Rea Rd sidewalk but no hard was done.  Frosty Paws was the only other pax to sport college colors today, so only UT and App State were represented, although I learned later on that App was very well represented overall. Daisy was disappointed that the sprinkler water in Stonecroft wasn’t as cold as he hoped.  Thanks to Run Stopper for circling back and rounding up the  6 on the way back from HT for me. #rookiemistake2
