During the short lived tenure of Ibex, I had the privilege of Q’ing it. Squints and Fuse were the only 2 fortunate souls that got to experience the chosen route that day so I figured why not recycle it for all to see and do?
Route as only someone from Hickory would describe:
Immediately after Big Curve, take a right on Lake Road, straight past Glen Hilton and Blue Dock, turn into Geitner Park and take the Greenway up to Jaycee Park, go down the big hill, back up the big hill, cross the big road, take the 1st left, get a right in there somewhere, another left, then a right on 17th Something, head to the greenway behind Glen Hilton and back home. Got it? Good. Go.
Map My Run figured this as 6.7 miles. Since route is over the typical 5 miles, the route was sent out on the tweeters and as we were headed down Lake Road (try to google that road and good luck finding it) I told all my Tuna Running brothers that there were several options on this route and they could pick what they needed to just in case they didn’t want to run the whole thing.
Hope everyone made it back. I was behind all the fast dudes after coming out of Glen Hilton so I decided to punish myself more by taking a right into Hutton Estates to ensure that I got 7 miles.
WOD:
James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him”
Sidenotes:
-I’m still not a runner. Don’t start that business with me.
-A very fast runner showed up around mile 5. This late sleeper will remain unnamed since he missed out on the WOD and namearama. You know who you are, Slacker.
– Love to see all those Tuna Dudes are already getting after it: Humpy, Part Time, Plank, Stonewall. Hope I didn’t forget anyone.
– Sooner/Kapowski took off like bats out of hades, until they realized that they were lost. You 2 get 95% participation trophies today since you didn’t get to the bottom of the big hill.
– At this point I’m just assuming that everyone made it up the Greenway and back. Didn’t see many of y’all once we started making our way up there. Godspeed if you’re still out there running….
– Best of luck to our weekend warriors: Markup, Fuse, HBC, 321 for doing all the stupid things that you guys are getting ready to do.
– Still reading? Good morning Cropduster.
Ed out.
