A gigantic expulsion of gas sent John Domico, Jim Moore, Lance Bland, Mike Casper, Mark Fedkin, Michael Goldfine, Marv Hall, John Wilcock, Andy Arndt, Dana Todd, Rich Harter, Blake Cohen, Frank Rodenbaugh, Rob Peterson, and Marty Mazur streaming for Van Allen Belt below the BJC.

Bwana, wearing his corona, gave the workout, the seldom run Front-Loader: 1 mile at faster-than-5K race page followed by 4X400 with short (200 meter) rests. The first 400 would be at about the same pace as the mile, but you are recovering from the mile as you do the 400s, which should get successively faster. Kind of like the charged particles of the Northern Lights as they scream through the atmosphere, shedding sparks of glory for all to see.

Well, again, there were no gaudy or glorious women at the track named Aurora, Gloria, or anything else for that matter. Nor did we see Dawn's rosy fingers (or Rosie, either).  So the guys were left alone to deal with the sharp Harpies blowing their gusts over the top of the MSF. But Spring is around the corner. Flora will appear with her fauna. And all will be right in Bwana's Peaceable Kingdom.
