Racing Flats or Ice Skates?

Racing Flats or Ice Skates?

13 men showed up to Devil’s Turn this morning despite the warnings of “wet leaves of death” from TR and most left glad they did.

The plan for the day was to hit the greenway and its boardwalks today. This is where the current incarnation of Devil’s Turn began long before Piper Glen route, The Track, Danger Zone, The Village, and Lauren Conrad. Some remember the even older days when Devil’s Turn met at the McAlpine Creek greenway. Although not that far back, we’ll say today was a return to the roots of DT.

Not long into the warmup mile, TR and others began their grumblings of the slick surface that had formed on the wooden portions of the path. Despite his grumblings, TR proceeded to take off after 1 mile of warmup with the DT FNG – Rebar in tow. This FNG is obviously no FNG to running. That guy’s got some speed on him. He blamed it on joining the Marines, and it seems he is right.

Soon Fletch and One Niner got a wild hair and ran fast like TR and Rebar. What about an easy fellowship pace day guys? Unwelcomed iron sharpening! Fletch was fresh off of a back strain situation. It didn’t show.

It was good to see Ironsides back out at DT. The man’s a beast. Alf was also back out to DT after some time off to recover from BRR. Wait, that was a long time ago. Oh well, good to see him again. Mr. Bean was also back at DT. Not sure where he has been but it doesn’t seem to be at DT. Don’t be a stranger.

Overall, great day in the slippery foggy gloom. Just use the non-ideal conditions to work on your groinoidals. Come race time, you will thank me.
