No man left behind…unless you are Hairball

No man left behind…unless you are Hairball

11 fine men showed up for not-so-cold running weather this morning to tackle the hills of Five Knolls.  If only the real LC had such curves and hills that show would still be on TV.

So of course everyone is going to know what we did this morning…we ran.  But, because we are such wild and crazy guys, we decided to run Five Knolls in reverse.  It has been a while since the crew of DT has hit these hills…many a morning was spent here during BRR training.  The route was down Bevington, up Elm, on to 51 and then into the Whitegate entrance of Five Knolls.  Reverse the run out to Rea and back as many times as you can and don’t be late for COT or TigerRag will be pissed.

Nice crew this morning.  11 Pax still going strong with the running a few days before Christmas.  We had some greatness at DT this morning…one HB who ran sub 3:10 at Kiawah, one HB who ran almost sub 3:15 at Kiawah, and Frasier who was knocking on the door of 3:10 at Kiawah.  All three very, very impressive times…

Good group this morning….  YHC gave the direction and off we went.  For the first 1.5 miles everyone stayed together and then the group started to separate.  Frasier was as usual out front killing it followed closely behind by HoneyBee.  TigerRag was giving guidance (or talking smack) to Hairball shortly behind the Bee…  The rest of the Pax settled into a nice pace in groups of 2 or 3 for the remainder of the day.  Didn’t hear to much mumblechatter to begin today…but I thank Tuck for the nice conversation about loading Kodi on the Fire Stick so I can watch just about anything, and also enjoyed talking to WildTurkey about his Reindeer Games coming up at Stonehenge this Saturday.

It didn’t really get interesting until we got back to COT.  A few of us broke off early and made it back…followed closely by several other Pax.  We thought we might have lost OneNiner and Utah….but 1-9er eventually showed up.  No Utah.  Hairball decided to go out looking for Utah to go home before COT because he had things to do.  No man left behind…unless Hairball has a busy schedule.  Normally TR is the first one to graciously remind me that time is up and people have things to do….today Hairball stepped up to the plate for that one.

Nice job out there today guys…hope everyone has a great holiday season.

Oh….Utah made it back.  And we prayed that Hairball’s schedule isn’t too busy next week.
