Breezy, Slopey, and Treeless Morning Run

26 pax were more brave than the WSFCS administration and enjoyed a breezy and somewhat hilly route this am.  None of us ran BRR this year so the OG routes have been pretty wimpy over that past few months.  With the approaching hurricane I thought it would be wise to keep us away from falling trees.  Coincidentally, that forced us to run the hilliest parts of downtown/west end.  Don’t blame me, blame Florence.  I worked extra hard to have a headwind for each incline.  This is how it went.
