5, later 6, assembled in the full daylight that is Sunday Funday. Conditions were 70 and sunny. According to the 30-and-under crowd struggling to communicate verbally, the following might have happened:
Route: Bridge, Buttermilk, Belle Isle loop, bridge, North Bank. Just over 7 miles. Nice work, fellas.
Back at the parking lot, Ollivander joined us. Nice to catch up.
Names, numbers, YHC took us out.
Announcements:
Blue Ridge Relay. Team has about 10-11 guys so far. Reach out to TYA to join. Leave September 5. Run is September 6-7. Homecoming is September 8. This is a 210 mile relay. Candidly, it’s not for everyone, but we have been doing this for about a decade. If you are interested in learning to put “push yourself; don’t hurt yourself” into action, please consider joining us.
Grow Ruck. Already happened. Twice. See Faceplant for a summary.
ReeseStrong 5k. “The Hard Way.” Already happened. More than twice.
Something new in a place called, “Chester” starts in June. Something similar, but not the same, that is also new (or maybe a resurrection of something else?) has started in a place called, ”Amelia.” No Bachelor’s Degree in Outdoor Recreation or Supply Chain Management for Exercise Shoes required. Just show up.
Summer Tour. On-going, again, but different. Run the numbers and make a plan. Learn where Chester is. Amelia is a different thing.
Offshore is hosting some kind of corporate 5k on Thursday, June 6, designed to show who the fastest person is in his office. Invite your work colleagues, smoke them, and earn the right to remind them ad nauseum that they lost for the next year. Jerks. Also, remember to mention winning this in your annual performance appraisal under “Strengths.”
NMS: It’s summer. So, watch for wayward traffic cameras / speed zones that are set for school day speed limits. See Faceplant for details or to test drive a Rivian.
If you know what the ReeseStrong 5k is and you did it The Hard Way, you are Old School. T-Claps.
