Where’s my arrow?

17 men decided that running for an extended period of time over the hills of Piper Glen sounded like a good idea so they posted at this week’s Devil’s Turn to suffer together.

It was good weather with lower humidity than the rest of July.  However, due to the level of exertion required for the hills, it looked like the PAX were mostly soaked by the COT.  Just a sign of good hard work.

Due to the format, YHC only has limited insight as to the events of the morning.  Sound off in the comments with anything that I missed.

Turkey Leg was on his 11th straight post.  Yep, that is every day of the week with a Night Train thrown in for good measure.  The man is a beast!

Frasier, Haggis, and Turkey Leg were flying out there today.  Impressive pace over that kind of terrain.  Other groups formed and seemed to be pushing it hard.

There was some controversy over the application of the chalk arrows to mark each turn.  After COT, TR was adamant that YHC left the PAX to fend for themselves at the furthermost point on the route.  An engineer’s quarrel ensued.  At the the end, it was determined that for standardization purposes, the arrows will be applied on the “against traffic” side of the road at the plane tangent to the hypotenuse of a vector drawn concentric with the stop sign at the apex of each turn.  This should clear up any confusion in the future unless we run out of pink sidewalk chalk.  Alternatives were suggested however like shaving cream, bread crumbs, and road flares.  We’ll see if it comes to that.

Haggis is now back from the mother land.  He was ashamed to admit that he only ran 45 miles instead of whatever other un-godly number that he was originally intending.  45 miles?!?!  For shame!  Next time take it up a notch please.  j/k  Awesome job!

Welcome to the Devils Turn FNG’s Thurston and Hairball.  Good work out there and we hope to see you back next time.  Cotters to Fletch who was back today with a nagging leg.  Hopefully, it treated you well on those hills!

Cotters also to those we haven’t seen in a while like Baracus, Stagecoach, 49er, and Mighty Mite.  Hopefully, it is not as long until we see you again.

As was said earlier, please fill in any good info I may have missed.

It was fun fellas!
