  • Reverse Giles Loop

    YHC discussed doing this loop after our Tomato Run Race the previous weekend. See map below as this works out to a 4.1 mile route and has a long uphill route through Giles.

    As this was a recovery run we still ran a clip of about an 8:35 minute mile, YHC took the extra time at the return to stretch for about 5 minutes while Phonics, Hash and Spit ran for an additional 1/2 mile.

    Namerama, Numberama – Phonics took us out.

    We stayed a little longer to catch up and review the race last weekend, and what will be next in the future so stay tuned as we may have a new event in the Fall.

    It was a pleasure to run with the guys this morning and I look forward to seeing you in the gloom…Cheers, CB!

    Weather was cooler for it being the end of April which made for perfect running conditions.

    24 hours before the race we had 3 teams down a runner. The scramble was on to get the teams filled. Thanks to Memento (Trout’s co-worker), Shank, Boberry, Sludge, Phonics, Shiplap for answering the call.

    Also glad to have Spike joins us for the first and second loop who was ready to fill in as well if needed

  • Loop #1

    3 Davillians came out for Tomato Run on a special day to get in their test run before the race today.

    Today’s loop was the Rutland loop. Since we only had Davillians today, we skipped the final part running the Bojangles loop so got in 4.5 miles

    Great morning for a run. We tried our best to taper

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Getting Close

    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.

  • 5:30 and 6:00

    5 Davillians arriving at different times and got in the Monday morning run.

    Text went out the night before after Bulkhead suggested to YHC we should run tomorrow but meet at 6. YHC advise the text group with responses from Corned Beef and Marco Polo on the Hard Commits and Opus on the Soft Commit

    At 5:47 Bulkhead text out saying he would have to miss this morning. YHC arrived at the clubhouse around 5:52 to find Corned Beef and another car was already there. Turns out Sludge who has been on IR for a while decided to make it out!

    YHC waiting for Marco Polo to show up as a LIFO and we headed out around 6:02 on the Giles Loop (4+ miler)

    Hash had already finished his run before we headed out and we ran into Corned Beef/Sludge while on the Bojangles Loop.

    Great morning for a run except YHC wasn’t feeling it after a late night at The Carpenter’s celebrating his 5 years till “Respect”.

    SPIT ON THAT!!
