OBT Post:
Aye, out of the Gloom this wet and windy morning came OBT, Dredd and MMOB, celebrating his 41st with a partial Ritchie Run.
YHC had logged about 5 miles prior to arriving at the train, and we held a decent sub-9:00 pace while MMOB was leading the charge, but he peeled off at Mint and Morehead and I fear I slowed Dredd down the rest of the way around the This Is My City Loop. There are plenty of excuses, but I won't bore you with them here -- just was off my feed. Luckily, as you all know, extra time on the run just means extra time to talk for Dredd, so we were fine. We got muddy slogging through the Greenway Construction Zone so I could hit a ScrodSpot, then we had to do a little scrambling along the banks of Sugar Creek, as storm runoff had washed over the greenway in several key places.
After dropping Dredd at the Minivan, I logged a final 3+ miles back home.
My totals:
Distance: 20.51 miles
Time: 3:09:43
Pace: 9:14
Kcals: 2647
Notes:
_ Congrats to Hitman on his outstanding performance in the Waxhaw Duathlon yesterday. You'll get even faster if you suck it up and start coming out on Thursday and Sunday mornings, Hit. Embrace your Inner Painguin.
_ Dredd and I have a score to settle with a particular owl, who we paid handsomely to stage a birthday swoop on MMOB as he exited his car at the Train in Freedom Park (enough with these cream pies; it's time to step it up, people). Instead, he waited until we were Tremont Avenue and did only the faintest of flybys. Weak, owl, weak. I'm coming for your eggs next time.
