The Thang:
due to the complexity of the route, lets try a Native American Run and see how it goes. PAX put in great effort to stay together. in hindsight our Pace was probably a little too fast. With the vaiety of Paces we were able to stick together for about 2 miles then we abandoned the style and when to a traditional group run. the PAX proved to be very attentive to YHC instructions even when incorrect. a false alarm was called at Cherry Hill Ln when YHC mistook it for Corley street. As we entered Heritage Hills on Heritage Trail, YHC quickly learned you cant believe everything that you google map. If you are reading this right now I would ask you to google map a road called Horseshoe Trail. that was our planned connector to Granny St. Just FYI it aint there! Google maps and map my run let YHC down there. Post run, Strava appears to have it correctly. So, it was entertaining to see 8 PAX in an native American run trying to find their way in the gloom. We were able to remain free from collision, and eventually doubled back and went up Blacksmith Rd. to hit Granny and continue the run. The Pax were able to continue onto farmhouse loop without any further misdirection by YHC. After making it to the middle school, most PAX adjusted their route to bring them back to the court house by 6:15.
COT: count off. did we start with 8 or 9? okay all PAX agree it was 8. must have been an angel running next to us cause it felt like more.
