No one made it to Charlotte Christian. To be fair, the OG Mermaid Challenge launched from SCMS parking lot. It’s a classic, but like all classics time moves on and the classic is just that, another classic.
MARY: Might have been a Cruncher or a RFYL’er out there named Mary but when I asked their names they just pulled out the bear mace.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 5K Ultra, Christmas Party, Blood Drive. None of these were announced.
COT: Ductwork took us out.
Great weather out there this morning. Very low humidity and cool temps. Great time of the year to get out and push yourself.
