This past weekend, the US Men’s Soccer Team had to convince themselves that Messi was not that good.  Ummm, right.  Likewise, I must stand tall and tell myself that the Cuda Run tonight will be a ‘win’ and that 20 other dudes are also looking for that win and will decide to join me.

We will focus on #BRR training and run the newly found HorseyMcHorseArse hills of South Charlotte.   That’s right, we will NOT meet at Ben & Jerry’s, but will post at the Old Bell parking lot on Sardis Road (McAlpine Creek Greenway Entrance) at 1930 (Blago, that is 7:30pm).  There will be several distance options — 4.2, 5.6 and even 7.0 miles for those who are feeling frisky.  The course is a 1.4 miles loop, so the PAX will be able to stay somewhat grouped regardless of pace.    The route is as follows:

1. Right onto Old Bell Road from Gravel Parking Lot
2. Left onto and up Blue Ridge Circle
3. Right onto Mountain View Drive
4. Follow Mountainview up and around and across intersection with Blue Ridge Cr
5. Becomes Wilby Drive
6. Follow Wilby all the way back to Sardis
7. Left on Sardis and Left onto Old Bell Road to the start

That will be one loop of 1.4 miles.   Once back to the gravel lot, run through the lot and then head back out to run the loop IN REVERSE.   Some great elevation change here and probably the best BRR training in Charlotte

Q will have a cooler with non-alcoholic drinks for each loop and some frosty beverages for the finish.  Q does not want to drink alone.
