YHC took the Q based on everyone liking his route suggestion best. The instructions were simple: Head east on Grove: when you encounter a green light, go straight. If it’s red, turn left. If you hit a dead end, turn around. Keep an eye on the clock and head back to MM by 5:45. Moleskin. It was fun to hear where people ended up–most of us were running around the museum district. GP suggested we put a boundary square for the next iteration–seems like a good idea. We could add an instruction: turn left when you hit the boundary. It…

Exhibit A: A number of PAX show up for workout at the appropriate time, but some of said PAX decide to do an alternate workout (e.g. play ultimate rather than run, or do a regular run rather than a speed workout). Said PAX rejoin the group at the end of the workout for the COT. Consequence: Said rebellious PAX (YHC included) do not get included in the PAX list or get Big Data credit (or perhaps receive an asterisk that could be removed with burpees). Exhibit B: A number of PAX “show up” at the workout location, but not at…

26 STRONG posted for a run or a ride this morning in the gloom. An amateur runner Q’d up the run and an amateur biker Q’d up the ride. After EF Hutton got in his early morning RAMM run, he gathered the bikers together to hit the streets for the second Amateur RAMM Gears for the summer. Several summer tourists checked this off of their list. Gumbo was dressed to impress which made Vinny proud. No Tools had an ugly blow-out. For it to happen during amateur hour was ironic. Swirly, Saab, TYA and Vinny got in the early long…

The fog was thick for this group of fourteen. Tropical levels of humidity and the relative silence of the day after a holiday was not a deterrent either. YHC called Reverse Carillon and off we went maintaining a bro code. About a mile and a half in, we came across the the 5am group who had a similar Carillon route in mind. YHC took us out. As I was driving down Cary on the way in, a robin deflected off of my windshield. My immediate thought was Handshake and the Saab extraction method. Fortunately, it was not needed. Announcements Shakedown’s…
