Moleskin:
- At least one Columbia pax — Subprime — ran the Cooper River Bridge Run on Saturday in Charleston.
- Sway — with much help from Roscoe — Q’d this off the cuff.
- The loop was a little over 2 miles, not including the extra trips up the hill during the ladder. 2 miles with pain stations should make 3.1 without them seem like a walk in the park.
- Attempts to awaken Linoleum (from his front yard) were unsuccessful.
- Dr. Phil had the quote of the day. Since Beano’s introduction of Airborne Flutters (82 in cadence), there is a moment of apprehension whenever they are called. When Roscoe called them, and began, Dr. Phil tried to nip them in the bud. Roscoe: “Flutter kicks, in cadence, move! 1-2-3…” Dr. Phil: “HALT.” You had to be there.
- Sway put his hands behind his back and asked Mel to pick right or left to determine the duration of Jacob’s Ladder. He picked right — 5. Several pax grumbled that Sway had both fists clinched and showed no numbers behind his back and we were doing 5 no matter what. They were correct.
- Spring Breaks are now over, and hopefully so is the cold weather. I hope we get back to our 20+ crowds after a couple of lighter days.
