15 PAX posted for OGs (6.5 miles) and Tractors (3.2 miles).  The routes were pretty savage.  Yesterday a fellow PAX instructed YHC that he should just plan to Sad Clown this event because there might be physical violence and verbal abuse. Sure enough, as soon as YHC arrived this AM, Van Pelt goes, “This route is a bunch of crap. And we have to do Forsyth street twice.”

But the PAX were willing to go along with the plan and run some hills.  YHC and Sack learned that Van Pelt is a master barbequer. YHC is looking forward to the cookout invite. Poncho and YHC lamented that we have our 6 man Smokey Mountain Relay in two weeks (with half of our team having had surgery/been injured in the last 30 days…). Litterbox wasn’t even winded on the hills.  YHC will incorporate steeper ones for him next time. The rest of the PAX were faster than YHC, so they were able to start later.  YHC hates he missed all the MC on their runs.

Best part of the run:  Van Pelt at the end describing how he felt about the run/hills (see audio below):

Zuck tried to scare fellow PAX off by reminding them of the elevation profile. It was pretty horrible…

COT

Juicebox has Purgatory tomorrow

Bluto has Dawg pound tomorrow

YHC took the PAX out in prayer, giving thanks for our F3 friends and the ability to exercise together.
