THE THANG

We moseyed to the Avondale Split and split into a fast group and a slightly less fast group. One group took East Avondale and the other took West. They would run Avondale to Edgewater, turn right or left (depending on where they started), and pick up the other section of Avondale on the way back. This loop is called the Dirty Sock – partly because it kinda looks like a dirty sock and mostly because I didn’t think it would be appropriate to call it what it really looks like. The idea was to send runners off at a manageable pace one at a time at 5 second intervals. The last person would then overtake the first and so on. So basically it was a glorified Indigenous American run. It worked for a bit, and then it kind of devolved into an amoeba run with people occasionally sprinting. Regardless, we got in a Wojo approved distance, worked up a good sweat, and got better. The fast group got three Dirty Socks. The slightly less fast group got in two and a half.

Omaha was called at 6:10, and we moseyed back to the shovel flag for one American Hammer.

COT was shared and YHC took us out.
