Of course it is flat… I think



Of course it is flat… I think

8 PAX at Devils Turn for some running around the hood.

With the Smokey Mountain Relay crews on full rest Thursday, and Meatloaf fart sacking at home, the numbers were more on the low side, but the quality was still high.

This is a new route for Devils Turn (as far as I know).  So with some descriptive chatter (including a picture of the loops as show and tell), and a detailed ‘don’t run in front of cars’ and disclaimer… we were off.

Commute:  Head down Bevington, Elm, 51, Rea, to the entrance of Carmel Estates.  The Loops:  2 loops, 2 miles each, in Carmel Estates going counter clockwise, and then head back, straight down Rea for COT.

Some mole:

Upon our commute to the hood, Stone Cold asked if there were hills on these loops.  YHC responded… “only a small one at the end of the loop”.   I was of course incorrect.  The first portion of the route was quite nice, with most of the PAX staying together at a relatively brisk pace and with  some friendly chatter as we selected Woodson’s future homestead.   Upon reaching the larger loop-within-the-loop, I realized I may have in correctly judged the bumps in the road (aka random hills).  Nevertheless, we pressed on and started the 2nd round through the estates.  You learn a lot about someone as you run in a group.  Lessons learned:  Enron’s skills in estimating home values may need some help, or the volume of pollen in the air was throwing off his senses.  Pop Tart actually knew this route and neglected to fess up that there be hills.   I don’t think Woodson ever noticed we were on a hill.  At least his pace did not show it.

Thanks all for the solid effort out there.  And thanks for closing us out Stone Cold

Announcements:  Keep Bout Time’s family in your prayers.  Enron on Q next week.
