Authentic Turkey Trot Routes

By Splinter on November 8, 2022

When: 11/22/22
QIC: Splinter
The PAX: All PAX

Tuesday 11/22 at Spider Run we will be running a 10k. The link to the route is below and I’ll also describe it for individuals that have not run this route previously. The trails are slightly modified from the official route but everything else is the same. Headlamps strongly recommended. It’s 6.2 miles with plenty of elevation. Ideally, we will all be finishing at the same time, right around 615. If you think you need an hour and 15 to finish a 10k, play your departure for around 5am. I’ll be there just before 5am to assist with any questions.…

Strange sightings

QIC: Lab Rat
The PAX: Lab Rat, Macho, Phonics, Corned Beef, Tonka

With more than a bit of trepidation, Lab Rat took the Q after chatting with Opus and Phonics at the Friday football game. Five strong made the agreement that this very well might turn in to a “clipboard” Q, but it turned out ok. Old standby exercises were the order of the day, but a weird cloud formation made the early morning worth it. Turns out we just missed a rocket launch from Wallop’s Island and the “cloud formation” was the remnants of that launch.
