  • PAX: Maybeline, Goodwrench, Montross, Oompa Lumpa, John from Lincolnton

Not to toot my own horn but with only 3 of my original 6 runners and a van retal cancellation at the last miniute, i pulled together and we ALMOST beat the A team(90 secs). Special thanks to all my runners and especially those that came on last minute. And a special special thanks to Montross for doing most of the hard stuff..like Van rental and hotel reservations. It was funny Montross telling the Hotel lady and some guys named Breaker Breaker and Orangeman where checking in early and it was cool to use his card.😂
My 3 alternates where Oompa Lumpa, Goodwrench and John from Lincolnton. Oompa in his typical old/hard/ancient/badass/old Marine self knocked out his 2 legs with out a much as a grumble or complaint. Goodwrench (F3 Isotope) had 2 sub 7 min runs one almost 9 miler and a 7.5. And ole big John (Mr. i run 40 miles a week-thanks Sparky!) Killed his 2 legs sub 7s also. The only faux-pas we had was ole Maybeline was chilling in the van with the a/c on when Goodwrench came rolling in after leg 9 🤦‍♂️. Goodwrench never stopped, he kept on running and we caught up to him after he ran about 1/4 of Maybeline’s leg! 🤣 It was hot and the last 6 legs we kept a close eye in everyone and even gave out a ton of water to who ever was in need along the way. I had the Glory Leg so as I come around the conner they announce our team name and i am expecting to see my team waiting to run across the finish line with me, but these fools are already eating pizza and drinking beers so I crossed alone. Thanks Guys. Afterwards almost all my team when home. Me and Montross stayed and took a self guided tour of Downtown Greenville. We found some Grub and a cool Karaoke bar where we people watched and had a few cold ones! It was awesome and I want to do it again but aint no way I’m Q’n it…NOPE! 😂
