YHC was greeted with a beautiful, starlit morning walking over to #TheDistillery from the estate (or lack of) this morning!  As we gathered up, it was clear that this was going to be a record morning PAX wise with 8 men attempting to understand YHC’s woeful explanation of route instructions.  YHC didn’t put out a pre-blast (thanks Sour Mash for covering that!) or a turn-by-turn list so the sheep were afraid of going astray, but in the end everyone made it back to the pasture.
 
There were 2 routes:

2.5 miles (http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/1777801322)

Sprint to the finish!
 
~3.5 miles and nearly 100 feet of elevation climb, it’s no Hanes Park or #BRR, but it provided a challenge or two in there.
 
COT
 
Continued prayers for all affected by Harvey and Irma, both in the U.S. and Caribbean.
 
There was another but YHC did not have an electronic device handy to record.
 
NMM
 
YHC not only botched the pre-blast, but also botched Name-o-rama, too.  Clearly YHC procrastinated the planning of this run!
 
Many t-claps to Spamalot for rolling in like The Vig with some Gatorade.  Tasted especially refreshing after that run and my 2.1 thoroughly enjoyed the end of it when she spotted it!
 
There was discussion that this may have been an attendance record for #BBBC.  #BBBC has come a long way as Sour Mash remarked that this started as intervals around a track and has transitioned to this point.  YHC concurs with the masses and powers that be that we’ll leave the 4.5-7.5 mile routes to the #Tractors and #OGs and that #BBBC will focus on the 2-4 mile routes in the Clemmons metroplex.  YHC also thinks there’s room for track work (Redline lite) in future workouts to work on speed, but it is also nice to just run too.
 
T-claps and many thanks go especially to Fingers, Drama Queen, and Wobegon for pushing YHC to set running records.  YHC has been hanging around 12+ minute miles and ran an average of 11:05 this morning.  It’s not #BRR level yet, but YHC’s goal is to run #BRR legs next year in sub 10 minute averages.
 
Heard some MC this morning in regards to the many turns and then heard more climbing the one fairly large incline.  Some of the MC was probably internal but there was some spoken as well.  I’ll take MC as a compliment.
 
Fingers hates the Beatles now; however, his phone has found an affection for them and constantly reminded him of that with every song it chose.
 
Drama Queen is a #HIM and led a workout in Chicago this week.  #jealous
 
Schneider has come so far since YHC first met him.  He is turning more and more into a beast every day and I expect to see him continuing the push to get better.  The physical changes you and Sour Mash have made are just incredible, t-claps to you both.
 
Wobegon and Spamalot shared a moment talking about a band YHC has no knowledge of, but YHC doesn’t get out much.  Based on Wobegon and Spam’s personalities, YHC thinks this would be a good band to invest time into listening.
 
It was a pleasure Qing and thanks to Singing Cowboy for the baseline of this route.
