PAX was at the top of Mount Chaplain when a circle back to get the 6 was called. Last Call tried to use the air breaks of the way down the hill when the air breaks didn’t work he decided to relive his glory days of playing in the back yard on the slip and slide. He did this all with style and some grace but nobody died, so it’s all good.

Numbers / names YHC took us out
NMS:
YHC was joking with O.C. pre workout and said that the plan was to not do as much running as was originally on the schedule. Part of the PAX thought that meant no running which we all know won’t ever be the case at a Doozy Q. Once we got through the mumble chatter about the running the PAX was happy to find that there wasn’t any man killers on the schedule only to find that the curb crawl elevens where worse than the man killers
5 Davillians arrived ready to get their day started with a good run. We did a repeat of last week and ran the Craney Island Loop for 4+ miles.
Mumble Chatter for YHC and Spike focused around Spring Break vaca and up coming summer vaca ideas

Numbers, Names DTH took us out
NMS:
As YHC passed 50 years of age this last week it seemed like a good idea to take 4 days worth of the Q sheet to do some of the workouts that I enjoy and feel really push me to get better.
Thank you Flying Squirrel for bringing some youthful light to this AO, SYITG
3 men braved the heavy pollen for a cool spring workout at WTH. Route is to the short pump mecca of Target, then check out a few things at Hobby Lobby before finishing up at Home Depot and returning with a Best Buy drive by. Just like Saturday afternoon.
3 rounds of triple check
Finish the job with a pole smoker in the bus loop.
3.0 Miles on the nose.
YHC took us out. Prayers for healing and patience.
Musings – 3 is a powerful number with ancient mystical implications. 3 man is a powerful college drinking game – YHC enjoyed the regional rule differences: nine to the right, eleven left, ten social, five and two touch your nose, 3 rolls to make a rule.
Get some!

NMS: Great to have a strong group this morning, including newly minted Ticket to Ride (TTR). Swirly couldn’t stop talking about the logistical excellence of the raceway vaccination center, giving it his highest praise by comparing it to F3RVAs coordination of our BRR teams. High praise for YHC’s M, otherwise known as Vaccination Incident Commander and Logistical goddess.
Prayers and Props for Shiplap and Schwinn, doing a 24 hour adventure race this weekend. Lots of good advice proffered to Shiplap which he will no doubt follow diligently. Don’t get lost brother !
Eighteen thoroughbreds hit the streets of Tuckahoe for a mini-convergence at SpiderRun. Here’s where they went:
All
4s
5s
6s
Back to flag
Numberama, Nameorama, COT
MOLESKIN
No shortage of hills and no shortage of pollen in the air to chew on, but the temp was perfect for a run. Half the 5s chose to run the loop in reverse and missed the pleasure of Summit, but the others made up for it. Great to see huge numbers out at SpiderRun. Not sure what the other groups mumblechattered about, but YHC’s group discussed the dynamics of youth sports, notably “elite elite” travel soccer and baseball, and their impact on high school sports. Bootleg subscribes to the adage “Suns Out, Guns Out” and nips too.
