NMS

As YHC and Zulu pulled into the parking lot, only Spike’s truck was there. This was unusual since Spike normally jogs from his house. A few minutes later, Spike and Fannie Mae came jogging to the VSF after a 7 mile job. Spike’s plan was to then do an hour bootcamp and then do play basketball. Unbelievable.

Welcome Brendon (Zulu). He moved to Mechanicsville from Lynchburg about a year ago. He is yet another XC/Track dad who has posted to a Daville workout. Other Atlee High School XC/Track dads include Helix, Corned Beef, Marco Polo, Abacus, Wheelie, Opus, Anchovy, and YHC. As we attempted to come up with a nickname for Brendon, we discovered the following: From South Africa, plays guitar, his hobby is travelling, he’s a math teacher and principal, and he speaks 3 languages which includes Zulu. That made the nickname easy. Hope to see you back soon.

It was an honor to lead such a fine group of men this morning.

Gotta Run!
