LITTLE BABY JOG BACK TO COT
THE NAKED MOLESKIN
- The force is strong in the Swamp. The “debut” Swamp Rabbit workout was in reality the fourth workout for the backwater rodents. After taking a nip of the #Human5hourEnergyDrink (Cindy) and his accomplice Zip-A-Dee, the GVL Pax actually came back when Dolphin was in town on business the next week. Not content to wait for two weeks for the 02-02 launch, they self-organize/lead their own workout the week after that. Triple claps to the FNGs who posted and the vets who headlocked them. Special TClaps to Spurrier for taking the idea and rallying the Pax to support it.
- Legacy Park has all the attributes for phenomenal downPAINments, from sand to water to hills. The cherry on top is that the COP/COT is directly across the street for the local Y–close enough to for the Elliptical Cowboys to watch the whole workout.
- A for Effort on the shovel flag. We’ll get that corrected for next week and have a standard issue F3 flag sent down with #mumblechatter and #FrankLloydWrong.
- Lots of good banter on the nicknames. Proving that F3 is truly a family affair, a couple of EHer 2.0’s got in on the nicknames by recommending Longbottom (something about a frog) and Shelly (well, Michelle, really). Brown Liquor (KY native) looks good on paper but the homonym qualities may lead to some raised eyebrows in the COTs.
- Strong Coffeeteria location at Greenfield’s Bagels & Deli. Robin, the Grande Dame of Bagels, welcomed us with open arms and encouraged us to bring more. Be careful what you ask for….
- Keep your eye on this group. They may just proliferate like their namesake….already a Wednesday tempo run/pain station workout starting up this week. #MoreCowbell
AYE!
I was proud to be a part of this one back in the hometown. The Swamp Rabbit name has emotional pull for me on multiple levels; I absolutely had to be there this Saturday. Let me break it down:
1) The Swamp Rabbit line was a railroad, now a bike trail, running north from Greenville.
2) At one of its main POIs in Travelers Rest, the Swamp Rabbit crosses McElhaney Rd, the road that I grew up on and where my parents still live.
3) My Grandfather’s first job (at age 15, around 1922) was collecting tickets on the Swamp Rabbit railroad to and from a hotel in Jones Gap that has long since burned down.
Clearly this was a can’t miss event for Belk, and I’ll be back for sure.
Great lead TR and a good group of guys. Me thinks that Greenville will be strong with the three Fs.
Aye, Moniteur and Swamp Fox are looking forward to the #SwampRabbit this Saturday. Anyone is welcome to join. Great start, guys.
