What Goes Down Must Go Up

During last week’s installment of Ground Assault we ran past someone out walking who was wearing an F3 10th Anniversary shirt. He turned down Keener Blvd before we got to him. I decided to run back and EH him (although I don’t guess it is an EH if he is already in F3). I had a quick conversation with him and he said he had been inactive for a while. I gave him some quick information about F3 Gastonia and ran back to catch up with the group. So when I arrived this morning, there he was, ready to go ruck. He said he was Wax On and that he had invited another Kotter. A couple minutes later another rucker appeared out of the gloom and introduced himself as Solomon. As the top of the hour approached it became apparent that we had three runners and two kotter ruckers. I offered to walk with them but they said they were good. I also offered to send them the standard rucking route but they said they knew a good route. The clock struck five so we said The Pledge and we were off.

Since I had mistakenly posted the link to the “Catchy Named Route – Reversed” last week, we ran that. During the run we hit the substantial downhill portion on Ewing Dr. and Gavel remarked, “What goes up, must come down.” Unfortunately for us this was the downhill leading into a couple really fun uphill sections.

As I said previously, we set out with two ruckers and three runners. Our ruckers didn’t make it back to the COT, but we did end up with four runners as Termite came running in and told us he had gotten there about five minutes late.
