A dead end and a roundabout.

Solid effort by the PAX today. 4×4 Run & Ruck. The pace was steady but the mumblechatter was strong. Then there were planks. They were… plank-y. Moseyed around little bit of Massey then into sunset circle. It said dead end, but we found a way out. Kept on trucking down Athena, went around a fence that was not keeping anyone out. Then around FCMS with some unexpected hills. Ended up at the Waterside roundabout where we laid on the grass to kill our running pace did some planks and sounded professional by saying abs are important for running. Clarified that I am only semi-pro. Moseyed back just in time to stop the watch at AO.
LTrain: said running was easier last year
Band Camp: shared stories with Sock Monkey
Sock Monkey: Showed us what Colorado lungs can do. Also distracted Band Camp which led to a race and a photo finish to see who could make it back first. The youth prevailed.
YHC: Still learning directions as well as counting. We will get there.
The Ruckers were right where we left them when we got back.
WARMUP: SSH / Moroccan night clubs / Worlds greatest stretch
THE THANG: Ran 4.25 miles at the pace of a lost new seabiscuit Q. Found a couple hills and a lot of mud with some wet grass to wash off in.
MARY: M.I.A.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hog and Coyote.
