Trout chummed the waters with some evening margarita pictures making sure everyone would come out for the morning run, no one responded so I thought it was business as usual. Woke up feeling 100%, didn’t want to let anyone down so drove over to an empty atlee lot. Cried some tequila off then started running over to rutland thinking I was in the wrong place. No one at Rutland either, did see Spike running the other direction but over all a pretty quiet morning.
4 Davillians got in their late week recovery run after the race this past week.
The route was a change of scenery from the practice runs the PAX has been taking over the last couple of months.
Up to the fly over, into Giles, through Giles Farm/Craney Island, a loop around Cool Spring Baptist before back over the fly over and Rutland parking lot. 5 miles record
Felt good to be back out there to straight the leg. Great pace this morning around 8:30/8:40 per mile. This PAX has gotten strong!
SPIT ON THAT!!
12 Davillians (11 + 1 honorary member) verged on the grounds of the Rutland clubhouse parking lot for a great alternative to the Colonial 70.
This how it when down
Setup: 4 teams arrived at the parking lot at 4:30am, setup camp, warmed up, and got instructions from YHC on the 35 mile race.
THANG
There were 4 teams of 3 runners. Each runner would completed two loops (6.2 miles & 5.5 miles) in a relay style race.
Routes
Loop #1 – 6.2 miles (10K) took the runners over the fly over to service road around and behind Atlee HS. Then into Honey Meadows and around the trail. Finally back the same way then around the Bojangles loop
Loop #2 – 5.5 miles took the runners around the Rutland Neighborhood into Knollwood for a loop and a hill. Out of Knollwood into Cool Spring West for a loop around that trail. Out and back to Rutland passing the parking lot to the Bojangles loop
MOLESKIN
What a great CSAUP!! The PAX crushed their projected times with every team finishing in less than 5 hours. Team Trailblazers lead the way after time penalty was add to another team (more that later). Here were the results
The Rat Pack had to take a unfortunate time penalty since Corned Beef didn’t take the correct turn on his 2nd run.
A few highlights:
Final Thoughts – This was fun, challenging, and up lifting. The PAX is already looking forward to do it again soon!
SPIT ON THAT!!
10 Davillians got in a Bro Code run this morning to get in one last practice run before the race on Saturday
We skip Knollwood and Bojangles loop and got in 3 miles.
The PAX looks strong and ready for Saturday
SPIT ON THAT!!
5 Davillians enjoyed a cool morning run on this tapering week. The route was the Rutland loop without Bojangles for 4.35 miles
3 days till our race
SPIT ON THAT!!
9 Davillians got in one last practice run on the 10k loop before this race this Saturday. Since this is tapering week, we cut the route short by starting/finishing at Atlee HS to get in 3.75 miles
The weather this week is great for running. Get out even if you are not training
SPIT ON THAT!!
We had Seven Davillians up for a morning 6.2 mile run in preparation for the relay race next Saturday (9/19/20). It started with a text blast to see who was in and 7 showed up. Below is the route:
We posted at 6am and went to Local Cup for 2nd F after a rewarding run this morning. Time to taper next week. It was great to see everyone and we will see you in the gloom! Cheers…CB!
We had 4 +1 run the Rutland 4.75-5.5 mile route today. YHC & OPUS stopped at the stop sign intersection at Atlee Station Road and returned to Rutland house for about 5 miles, Bulkhead and Sludge continued on to the Bojangles turn and returned for 5.5 miles and Carpenter ran by as we were wrapping up and completed his route (approximately 5 miles). Bulkhead also Ran to Rutland house from home and had a return run to home after we circled up for Namerama and Numberama.
YHC did not want to get up this morning; however, previous texts the evening before aided in the extra push to get out to run. The rain stopped for our run and it was nice and humid. It was great to catch up with everyone this morning . Have a great day gents! Route below.
We had a small group 4 runners and one on a bike(gear) show up for a Labor Day morning run. Trout brought his 2.0 Nutmeg and her bike so she could ride along with us on our run this morning. We ran/biked a 4.5 mile route this morning. It was a cool 57 degree morning and we really enjoyed the cool and calm experience where most people were sleeping in on this holiday morning. There was minimal traffic and a nice sunrise to clear blue skies.
Namerama / Numberama – have a great day gents as it was an honor to run with you all this morning. I will see you in the gloom….CB.
6 Davillian took up the offer from Bulkhead to run on Saturday. Some skipped Dogpile for the even. YHC enjoyed a nice run before a 6+ hour drive downrange for vaca.
The route was a modified Rutlant loop with Corned Beef, Trout, and Spit getting in around 5 miles. The rest of the PAX added the Bojangles loop to get in 6.
Great morning for a run with temps in the mid 60’s and a nice little breeze.
This Daville PAX is ready for their CSAUP in two weeks!
SPIT ON THAT!!
