23 men gathered in the gloom for a “lazy Q” per Semi Gloss – who admittedly through down about 10 merkins last week to spice up his AYG horseshoe and dead stinkin’ fish repeats.
The Thang:
Run – AYG to CLT Catholic and to the top of the parking deck and home. Get as far as you can and turn around at 28ish minutes.
Moleskine:
This was Mermaid’s brainchild and the 3rd time I have done it. Never gets easy.
Tolkien took off like he stole something. Bout Time, LaRonda, Hairball, Purell, Rachel, Lorax and YHC kept together on the way out (not so much on the way back) and Brady was right behind going through the parking deck. At about 2 miles in I remarked that someone should break from the Peloton and chase down the leader in the Yellow Jersey. Then I sort of felt a little bad for the racist undertones of the comment considering Tolkien was the leader. And he was shirtless. And well, he’s Asian. But then I googled it and according to this Wikipedia map, he’s Yellow. Then I felt better, because if you can find it on the internet a) it must be true b) It’s not racist and c) People from Greenland, Alaska, central Australia and Siberia apparently have no race.

Anyhow, it’s hard to say what everyone did out there, but Strava shows some strong times. Gummy thinks Haze is on PED’s. Retread and Benny put in a strong run followed closely by the Callonwood neighborhood duo of Fault Line and Pop Tart (who I think made it through the whole workout without pooping)
Good to see Hairball and Rock Thrill out again. That baby takes up a ton of time Hairball, mostly when you should be sleeping. Congrats again!
