GONADS/SweetSix--BackBlast.8/18/11--Dante Rising

Aye, 13 of the Faithful gathered in the gloom 'round the ShovelFlag:

Red Warrior
Nino
MacDeuce
Holtz
RoboCop
The Colonel (BHWTU)
Six Mike
Hammer (FNG)
Tooth On Top (FNG)
Kit Carson
OBT
Dredd
Dante (Kotter)

The Thang:
6.4 miles from Christ Church, up Providence/Third, through the center of the city, back along Morehead/Queens/Providence. The leaders did it in sub-50:00; Dredd, Dante and I brought up the Six at around 51:30.

Spreadsheets From The Gloom:
_ 3x claps to Tooth On Top, hitting his fifth FNG of the week (in order, F3/AG; Big Hair Monday; RingRun; Gamucci; SweetSix). And now he's lined up for a weekend of service to those in the community not fortunate enough to be able to afford dental care. 3x more claps for that (and to Nino and MacDeuce for their assistance).
_ 3x claps also to SweetSix FNG Hammer.
_ A Kotter to Dante, who struggled the last time he was out earlier this summer, got dropped on the hill up to the Jukebox Building and didn't make it back to the church, if memory serves. This time around, he stuck right on Dredd's and my Six the entire run -- an impressive step-up.
_ (Almost) Scrod Stop: Six Mike, a relatively recent convert to the Chia Train, made a serious rookie mistake this morning when he decided to fuel for the SweetSix with a pre-run shake of chia and OJ. For those who don't know, chia seeds are pretty much straight fiber, so if you noticed 6M hitting those final hills on Queens with a little stiffness in the glutes, well ... a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
