YHC rolled into the parking lot a little before 0525 to a cool morning. Perfect for a good run or – if you brought your ruck – a leisurely stroll.

6 more PAX whipped in and joined YHC. DISCLAIMER was started by Sugar and elaborated by YHC.

No warmarama, but straight to THE THANG

Those who ran chose different routes – a longer “double P” route going from the school into Wellington Chase and choosing the go left at the “T”. Choosing right was the shorter traditional “P” route. YHC chose the shorter route and the 4 PAX (Sparknut, Cream Cheese, Roomba and El Sabado) chose the longer one.

YHC got a little lost, but rendezvoused with the faster PAX on the return.

The ruckers (Sugar and Heatstroke) hit the greenway and did a little extra credit.

CO’T

YHC fouled up the time estimate and took on a little too much greenway after the return. The PAX modified and had a useful CoT in spite of Q failure.

MOLESKIN

Safety. A school bus was trying to set a world land speed record, dodged Sparknut and would have hit me on the return had I not preemptively started running on the grass. Jimmy Buffet hit our Slack channel with a warning that none of the runners (YHC included) were wearing appropriate gear for a road run. Also, some of the PAX were in stylish, yet black, F3 standard issue gear.

It’s dark enough now that a light colored shirt isn’t enough – especially if you choose to share the road. YHC  has already purchased a reflective vest, LED clip on lights and a headlamp ahead of writing this back blast to arrive in enough time to properly participate in the next Satisfaction Cruise/Rolling Ruck (yup, it’s a tag)

  1. AYE!

  2. Great work gentlemen! Make appropriate reflective gear and lights a priority! It is not worth the risk! Thank you Jimmy Buffet for the push with this!

    1. Aye! Thx Jimmy! Accountability!

      Thx Kilowatt for the lead and BB – yep, you’re a runner and I can say I was there when you ran your 1st 3 mi non-stop. I’m sure that run sucked and truth is, they all suck – but we get better at it. T-claps to your progress!!

      1. Indeed. You guys have pushed me and others. I’ve already had my best 5K time on record and that was dragging my 2.2 along.
