The Love Train sped into 2020 with full passenger cars!! 5 Runners + 7 Ruckers = 13 PAX workin’ the W&OD railroad. That’s by far the greatest turnout, thanks to Hightower bringing Ruckers and to two runners, Mayberry and Tea Party, on the train for the first time.
We got a bit of a late start, but it was well worth the wait as a few PAX rolled in almost right on time. Temps were in the mid-30’s, but the brisk wind made it feel colder, and everyone was ready to get started.
I was impressed with the Ruckers, who not only carried their ruck sacks but also hoisted sandbags on their shoulders for the 3 mile ruck. I can’t speak for them, but they looked in pain as we runners passed them about a half mile from the AO. When we went back for them, they had already picked the pace to a jog for the last quarter mile.
Announcements: 1) First Service project of 2020 coming up next Sat, Jan 11. Cleaning up wreathes at Arlington National Cemetery. 2) Bone has a variety of 2ndF events coming. Tune in to the 2ndF channel in Slack. 3) QSource in F3TheCapital re-starts this Thursday, January 9 at 7:30 at Northside Social in Falls Church.
COT of thanksgiving for the great crowd at the Love Train this morning and the energy recently poured into getting F3TheCapital organized and ready to grow.
