Day: May 21, 2018

The BRR team was invited to take to Crowder’s Mountain with me for 3 trips to the top at 3pm on the 20th.

I gave it until 3:02 and found that I was on a Solo mission.

The Thang:

I put on a 30 pound pack and headed out for the first summit. It was not to bad but the heat was real.

2nd trip, I drank some water on the way to the top. Much harder but the orange I ate at the top made a difference.

3rd trip, did not happen. 2 was enough for this round.

The Moleskin:

So I had not used this location ever to train for the BRR. But, it would be my opinion that the 2 laps up is very close to what 1 leg is really like on the run. I will drop some other dates on myself doing this and hope to have some people join me.

Great to see Clavin back out this am.  Welcome back brother. Way to push.

All PAX worked hard, pushed, were inspirational, and just as awesome as always.  I will never take that for granted.  It’s what keeps me coming back.

Thank you all for being exactly what I need to start the day in such a great way.  You are all such a blessing.
