6 ran their tails off in the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the Chairperson of the VCO Data Science Department, the following exercises were pre-planned and might have happened.
North bank, Belle Isle, South Bank, Buttermilk, Bridge, Home. Roughly 6 miles. Six slogging miles of heavy, wet air.
Numbers, names, and we all went out.
Ellwood’s to celebrate. Good to have some other dudes join us.
NMS: Sunday Funday is a different sort of AO. Ten cuidado. 95% of the time, there is no Q. There is a very limited COT. Not one anyone would think of as a COT, but it’s there, if you know what to look for. If you sign up to Q it, you had better do it – and not half way, or a mile or two, or some other way, or make up some new thing and call it this thing. This is a running AO – if you can’t do it or don’t want to do it, don’t Q it. ‘Cause, it’s hard as it is. This PAX earns this. There are unspoken rules (like, don’t tell the PAX what to do, don’t wait for certain PAX, or don’t not wait for the other PAX). It’s intricate, it’s delicate, and it’s not to be trifled with. Surely, don’t show up to do something that’s not Sunday Funday. That’s very much not Sunday Funday. That’s some other thing. And, if someone wants to do that, then do that. But, don’t try to do this. It’s different. It’s not your average F3 workout. It’s different.
And, like this weekend, Ollivander is on these trails. He has a wicked sense of humor.
All else equal, it’s great to have Sippy and Offshore back on the trails. Our best to Offshore. Sorry to hear about your dad. The PAX send their best.
