Retnilps Strikes Back(ward)

4
By on Richmond, VA
  • When: 02/9/21
  • QIC: Splinter
  • The PAX: Bodos, Upchuck, Gomer Pyle, Pucker, Big Tennessee, Bleeder, Saab, Garbage Plate, Hitchhiker, Swirly, EF Hutton, Faceplant, Wedding Singer, TYA, Oyster, Splinter

A random assortment of participants distance huddled where the COVID vessel normally parks wondering what was in store for the day and who Retnilps was. Some figured it out in advance, others figured it out during the route, eventually everyone was enlightened. The route was:

  • Around the baseball field down to a left on College
  • Right on Lakewood
  • 4s continue on Lakewood to a left on Westham
  • 5s/6s right on Wood which turns to Waveny then left on Westham
  • Continue on Westham, cross river, down South Ridge then left on Westham Station
  • 6s go left up Old Bridge then back down
  • Everyone continue on Westham Station, cut through the parking lot then return back via the UR entrance on River
  • Stop at the intramural fields for backwards running intervals
  • After 5 iterations across the field, return back to the VSF via various sidewalks

Numbers, names, and significant announcements before Retnilps took us out.

YHC thoroughly enjoys running; however, sometimes a slight change of pace breaks up the monotony of slogging through miles. Today was YHCs latest attempt to break up the regular routine.

Comic relief of the morning was the early huddlers learning that Upchuck is now randomly texting PAX members quotes in their native tongue. Today was Hitchhiker’s disclosure that he received a semi-accurate Korean text from Upchuck the other day. This is just Upchuck being Upchuck, keeping those brain cells active.

The other comic relief moment was listening to Wedding Singer try to pronounce Retnilps, which came out as Wet Nipples, or something similar.

Appreciate the 6s slogging through while listening to my random stories about parents and streaming services.

Here’s the story about the backwards mile record holder: https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a33936566/backwards-mile-world-record-aaron-yoder/

A good time was had by most.

Retnilps out.

  1. Big Tennessee on

    Glancing at the Q sheet I thought it said “Retro Nips.” That and Wet Nipper need to go into the FNG funnel.

  2. Upchuck on
