You can’t make everyone happy

You can’t make everyone happy

You can’t make everyone happy….great title for today’s backblast.  Lately it seems like everyone is very interested on Wednesday nights about where DT is headed in the morning.  Some hate The Village (cough, Hairball, cough), some dislike the track, some can’t stand Five Knolls/The LC….and apparently from this morning, The DangerZone isn’t everyone’s favorite either.

The Thang:

We ran.  At The DangerZone.  Light to light…then make it back and don’t be late.

As the title states, you definitely can’t make everyone happy.  It’s pretty interesting to see which of the PAX like the different DT routes.  Some guys totally dislike routes you think they would enjoy because they crush them, and others like routes that seem way out of place for them….and some are just cranky and don’t like anything.

What is consistent week in and week out is that guys show up and run their tails off to get better….the other consistency is that you’re going to pick a route that someone likes and someone hates.

This morning was a good run…the weather was a little bit cooler than the past few days and the humidity was down so it wasn’t so muggy.  We had a solid crew of 17 out this morning for a nice run on The Dangerzone.  YHC happens to enjoy that route…you get one leg of it that has a few subtle hills and a gradual downhill trend and coming back you have  solid hill in the middle and it keeps you honest.  Plus you get to see some Pax back and forth on the laps….YHC learned today that Haggis isn’t a fan of the DangerZone.  Perhaps it was because YHC blew by him on one leg of the run and jumped up to 4th on that segment (oh…YHC is definitely going to pay for putting this in here).

Several strong efforts by the PAX this morning.  BRR season is upon us so I expect to see solid numbers for the next several weeks and Gumbo and I will have many good routes planned for us…perhaps even some new territory.

Woodson…thanks for coming out.  First Devils Turn post today…keep coming back.

As always, thanks for the opportunity to lead.
