Highway Patrol

In preparation for MCCs on Saturday, the varsity squad headed to Forest Park to run the course. After soccer mom Scherping drove most of the team over in the Pondering Man Van, we meet at the tombstone only to realize that we were supposed to be on the other side of the oasis.

T-bone arrived and we headed to the course for the warm-up. It’s double-lined and really cool. Instead of running on one line, we get to run in-between two. Like a highway. Awesome! The UNLAB (flag shorts) had its first official meeting of the season. We were down America, but still had reps from Ireland (kabes), Canada (Potter), Germany (Seiler and Matt OC), and Great Britain (T-bone). The workout went well. It was 3 miles on the course at different paces for each. Just a great practice at Forest Park.

Quote of the Day: “How bout these shorts?”- Coach Traughber showing off his Great Britain shorts to the other MCC coaches who were at the park.

Joke of the Day: Just about anything Scherping said or did. The best might have been, “Will there be pizza?” in total seriousness after coach said we were having a meeting.

Best Dressed: Potter. He heard it was flag shorts day and he came running, literally. Alex got out his Canada shorts and got some work in with the rest of us in preparation for the upcoming Clayton meet. As Rob calls it, “The Potter Sendoff Meet.” Potter had to carry team Canada today since Scherping forgot his shorts. And he did just that, adding a red bandana to match the shorts. He topped it off with the Like a Boss shirt. Potter without a doubt had it going today and this was only the prep work.
