15 PAX posted for OGs (6.5 miles) and Tractors (3.2 miles). The routes were pretty savage. Yesterday a fellow PAX instructed YHC that he should just plan to Sad Clown this event because there might be physical violence and verbal abuse. Sure enough, as soon as YHC arrived this AM, Van Pelt goes, “This route is a bunch of crap. And we have to do Forsyth street twice.”
But the PAX were willing to go along with the plan and run some hills. YHC and Sack learned that Van Pelt is a master barbequer. YHC is looking forward to the cookout invite. Poncho and YHC lamented that we have our 6 man Smokey Mountain Relay in two weeks (with half of our team having had surgery/been injured in the last 30 days…). Litterbox wasn’t even winded on the hills. YHC will incorporate steeper ones for him next time. The rest of the PAX were faster than YHC, so they were able to start later. YHC hates he missed all the MC on their runs.
Best part of the run: Van Pelt at the end describing how he felt about the run/hills (see audio below):
Zuck tried to scare fellow PAX off by reminding them of the elevation profile. It was pretty horrible…
COT
Juicebox has Purgatory tomorrow
Bluto has Dawg pound tomorrow
YHC took the PAX out in prayer, giving thanks for our F3 friends and the ability to exercise together.

Strong Q Hedwig, brutal route. You may have lost your driving privileges. It was good to see the Pax pushing each other this AM.

Rare to see Forsyth included once… Never seen it twice! Might use this route for EC sometime when I don’t have a Spartan Race the next day! #TClaps to everyone who ran!
