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.

Events – WEAR F3 GEAR:

  • Rosewood 5K is THIS SATURDAY at 8:30. Double Down after normal workout.
  • Quarry Run is NEXT SATURDAY at 9:00. Double Down after normal workout.
  • Fall USMC Mud Run registration opens May 1. F3Nation will handle time slots, we just need commitments. I think we can field three teams by then, don’t y’all?
  • Spartan Beast Race November 9th will have significant Columbia presence. Stand up and commit!
