Final Thoughts:
Terrible backblast title, but a great workout by all! I was informed that the runners did 9 miles – we never saw them after 5:30. It was great to have Offshore roll in to complete my dream of doing a Triple Check. Thrilla Gorilla’s proved to very challenging and quite the leg buster. I don’t think any of us will be selected for the hurdling team. Safe travels for Doozy and his family!
