Donut Run, The North Remembers

16 PAX showed up for miles and some even picked up donuts. Bushwood is Down Range and desperate for a Q this week and reached out to YHC to lead this week.  We went north again and reverse for a change.

  • Right on Colony
  • Right on Carmel
  • Right on Sharon View
  • Right on Old Providence
  • Right on Lancer
  • Left on Providence Lane West
  • Right on Rea

Moleskine:

  • Great work by the PAX today, the cooler temps were welcomed by all and many PAX were pushing themselves hard as BRR approaches.
  • Chelms is getting faster, it’s true, check Strava.
  • Agony and Hairball put in some extra miles and swept the six.
  • Hannibal and Kirk both lamented that the north route is awful, not going to argue that.
  • Welcome Grave Dancer to BRR team Up N’ Over, and site FNG.
  • Hopper took after YHC and left Gummy in the dust with a 8:08 min pace catching up to Chelms the last mile. Thought I heard Chelms point out to Hopper that he had him for the first 5 miles.
  • YHC can always tell when Turkey Leg is approaching, heavy feet, when he caught me at mile four.
  • Gummy got an early start with his complaints on Slack last night saying no one would make him leave earlier than 5:15, again that’s entirely up to him.
  • Margo’s Tron vest is something to behold, looked like I was chasing a traffic light the last mile. It might be a feature with his Christmas light show this year.
  • Jello took his Jello Run north as well, keep up the good work and thanks to Bushwood for the route.
  • Hairball has put together a staggered start-time document (TPS Report) here based upon your speed for each route. This allows the PAX to stagger your start and we all finish at the same time. Pick your pace or challenge yourself.
  • Thanks to Bushwood for the opportunity to lead, it was an honor and please sound off with any #mumblechatter

Going from pace of a snail to pace of a turtle is faster. Much work to be done before BRR. Hopper killed it – didn’t know a man over 6″2 could run that fast. Geraldo beat me even though he walked 100 yards – sad. Team Flat-n-the-hills well represented this am. Looking to take off at least 1 hour from last year’s time.

I’ll pay someone to steal Hannibal’s shows for a few days. It may be the only way we keep him from winning the mileage total again.

I didn’t think the course was that bad comparatively speaking – 6+ miles before 6:30am is bad no matter where you run it. Guess I’ll have to try the regular route to know.
