Apparently, he was talking about Pool Boy and YHC. 4 Bermuda Boys made it out to Goyne Park for the latest Bermuda Triangle Beatdown. The temps were cool and the ground was moist. Not quite what we tend to expect on an August morning in Chester, but no one was complaining.
We started with a mosey down to the lower parking lot, and some parking lot chasers, then circle up for an extensive warmarama. Your standard stuff, with a little extra emphasis on the legs.
Mosey over to the football field for the Main Event. Yes, the main event came early on in the morning’s lineup, as we wanted everyone to be fresh, with no excuses. The event was a 100-yard Dash. Broadway decided to be the judge at the finish line, in case of a photo finish. Pool Boy and YHC decided to have another go at a sprint after Pool Boy left everyone in the dust on the final sprint last week. Shooter said he wasn’t going to race, but just run along with us.
So on Broadway’s count, we were off. YHC got off to a fast first step surprisingly ahead of the swift Clydesdale Pool Boy. But just about 25 yards in YHC sees that Shooter was out front by several paces and Pool Boy was pulling ahead of YHC as well. YHC was looking for another gear, but it wasn’t there. Maybe the Pool Boy, and Shooter would run out of gas after 50 yards and YHC could make up the ground there. We made it past midfield, closing in on Broadway, but Shooter wasn’t giving any signs of slowing down and neither was Pool Boy. So Shooter made it to Broadway’s outstretched hand first, and a couple paces behind was Pool Boy, and a couple paces behind him, albeit in dead last, was YHC. So the title of fastest HIM at Bermuda, for now at least, goes to Shooter McGavin. The guy who said he wasn’t going to race. Well played sir.

Prayers
Prayers for anyone dealing with anything right now. Eastbound, a fellow PAX who hasn’t posted in awhile, had a friend who just took his own life. Prayers for his loved ones. Reach out to someone you haven’t seen or heard from in a while. It could make more of difference than you know.
