EC: Banana Seat, YHC, Deadbolt, Mr. Terrific, Alpine – I’m sure there were others…. I didn’t get a great tally Notable mentions are Pikachu, Lipstick, Katniss, Mr. Terrific, and Aquaman that were charting their own course this morning and did not COT with us today.
FNGs: Brought into the gloom by Emeril. Gilligan was once a rower which naturally means he must sail. He didn’t say it but by the looks of him I’d say he likely has an eclectic group of friends that enjoy getting lost in remote and exotic locations. Welcome Gilligan!
Warm Up: As part of warm-up, YHC took a moment to get the runners sorted. Immediately kicking the runners planning to go slower than a 10-min pace out onto the route. Other runners (technically non-Uturners) were launching at the same time and they left pretty abruptly. Having them filter through the crowd just added to the confusion. The remainder hung with me for a little warm-up. Daisy Pickers, Frankensteins, light jog, butt kickers, high knees, carioca, and Backwards jogging were all on the menu.
The Workout: Standard Uturn route was the plan with mandatory Pick-up the 6 spots at the 12 Oaks Circle and at Irving. Ultimate plan, have all waves finish the run at the same time.
Wave 1: Fun-paced
- left at 0600, go your pace but stay together
Wave 2: Fast-paced
- Warm-up at 0600 and left after a bit
Wave 2.5: The Sick Kids
- left a little after Wave 2, we weren’t sure what we’d do. We managed 2 miles.
- Title explanation here: I woke up this morning for 5 miles EC and 5 miles ME. Apparently my health isnt quite with me (yet again). I wound up back at Panera with 20 mins to spare about 6 miles EC+ME, grabbed a coffee and met everyone outside for COT with said coffee in hand. The coffee was great, esp with my cough, etc. A little fun to be very well rested and warm for COT while the rest of you just kicked ass but were probably cold. I’ll be back to 100% soon and not look a like such a… (what’s the F3 lexicon for A-hole?)
Wave 3: 3 milers
Mary: Gilligan kept talking about some named Mary-Ann… Dude has it bad…
