When you post to a running workout on a small peninsula, there’s only a number of routes that you can take unless you plan on swimming. We’ve (or maybe just me) been waiting for this connector road to be completed so Tega Cay (Tempo and Pantheon) had a little extra option to the runs and workouts. I mean, we can get to Dam Road and New Gray Rock much quicker. You could possibly pre-run to Colosseum and hitch a ride back to the peninsula. The options are limitless.

I noticed Slumlord’s route in my Strava feed the other day. His route seemed to go directly to Walmart from Pantheon. Interesting.

“Hey Slummie, does the road go all the way through?”
“Yeah, we had to walk a few areas but you can get all the way through.”

Sweet! Tempo Q Ready!

The Thang

-Depart Trailhead Park towards 160
-Pass Pantheon and make an immediate right onto the connector road
-Run on Pavement for a good .30 miles
-Run on compacted dirt for another .15 miles
-Duck under a crane, watch out for rebar
-Delicately cross bridge (not sure if the cement was dry so we let Fishsticks go first)
-Fork in the road (50-50 shot at being right)
-We go left (wrong) and keep running through the new neighborhood along 160
-Pop out on 160 and run to Dam Rd
-Make a right at Dam and then a right at Stonecrest Blvd (Hills)
-Left at Hubert Graham Way
-Continue Straight past cones and signs that so don’t go this way
-Back to the fork in the road, the bridge, the dirt, the pavement
-Left at Gold Hill
-Short jaunt back to Trailhead park

I was a little nervous at first. I was leading a running workout with Gears, Gekko and Fishsticks? All fast dudes. Fortunately it was an easy pace day for them (not for me). Really enjoyed scouting the connector road and appreciate the input from Gears on re-routing after I got us lost. Little know fact, YHC gets lost…a lot! Google Maps=BFF

I really enjoyed the run and the fellowship. It’s nice sometimes to have a small group where the fellowship takes the front seat. It was like that this morning. Thanks guys.
