The Tour of Downtown (and the “Roads Closed”) with OGs/Tractors
Being a VQ, this was a learning experience for me. Thanks to JuiceBox and Beverly, I found out that someone posts a backblast each week (who knew) and thanks to the F3 Lexicon, I learned there are 700+ terms I need to learn (though I did find out what a PAX, VQ, and YHC means).
We had 24ish show up, though there were some reports of there being up to 75 PAX.
Our run started uphill (as all do leaving from Hanes Park) and we completed a tour of downtown via the Long Branch Trail. Rookie mistake in creating a route that goes back on Brookstown which (apparently) is closed. So, really, everyone ran their own modified version of the original route that was created.

Prayer Requests: Plunger shared that The Foot passed away from a long battle with cancer. Plunger will be sharing a few words in a tribute at the ceremony tomorrow (Saturday 9/12). We had a moment of silence being 9/11 and for those whose families were and are affected, thanks to all those who serve us to keep us safe. Prayers for the wildfires out West and the many people who are suffering.

Well done Sir! Congrats on the VQ, AND the timely publication of the back blast. If JuiceBox and Bev are giving you advice, you are in good hands.
Great job on your VQ. The pax complained a lot and YHC got slowed down by the hills. Keep studying the lexicon and see ya on Slack!
