Truck!

After a one week delay it was half-marathon day for the Varsity. We opted for CC Lake instead of Spoede. We were down Seiler, who was ellipticizing, but made a great addition with Seamus.

Practice stated off great with a ride to the lake from Soccer Mom Scherping in the Pondering Man Van. Two big loops was the plan and went right joined by T-bone and Rob. T-bone set the pace getting us out at 7:20 and we kept it rolling from there. Waller got stung in the head by a bee, but he pressed on. We coved after from Rim Rock to the death of the Segway guy to the Father-Son Golf Tourney. During the second loop we were running along slide a crew team (rowers) and after shouting some encouragement we streamlined and raced them around the lake. Madey and Martini lead the land to victory over the water.

A lotta laughs and good times along with just about a half-marathon worth of running at a good pace. It was a practice that was as magnificent as the weather we ran in. The complementary chocolate milk that comes with the half tasted extra delicious today.

A shout out to Seamus who was awesome today. He hung with us the whole way on his first varsity run of the year and added a lot of humor and life to the run.

Quote of the Day: “You gotta ROW now!”- Madey as we were racing the girl crew team around the lake.

Joke of the Day:
“Scherping, do you parents still have to get you a babysitting?”
Matt Yells, “Jessica!”

Best Dressed: Glen was able to make an impression in the few minutes the whole team was together. He was breaking in his new Nike Lunar Glide 2 shoes today. He had to go for orange this time because it’s the new edition. But it worked out great as he matched them with an orange Phoenix Suns shirt that made him stand out from the rest of the team. He evened added the now famous Gray-Giant-Pocket shorts. Way to be Glen.
