It seems like the hottest day of the week wants to be Thursday every week. A hardy crew consisting of Jim Myers, Lance Bland, Kevin Becker, Sara Noss, Amy Blake, Rich Harter, Dana Todd, Kirk Rager, and Marty Mazur headed for the track under hazy skies with temperatures flirting with 90 and the dew point around 70.

It was helter-skelter in the summer swelter as Bwana called the workout (in a coat he borrowed from James Dean): three person 8X200 relays. This is a little different than recent workouts. The 200s are meant to be run *hard* since each runner gets to rest while his two teammates each complete their runs. But the rest was distressingly short with the likes of Kevin Becker doing his 200s in the low 30s, and even Jim Myers (pushing 60) pushing 37 on his half-circuits. The two gals wondered what in Hades they'd gotten themselves into, but were all-in till the end.

Mike Casper showed up with a few mOUnTaiNBACK T-shirts for the Crew to model. Unfortunately, he was a little late to catch the pre-game, when the runners were not yet soaked in sweat. By the time he showed, any shirt would have been indelibly skankified by any of the Crew who touched it. Mike will have to ask for models who don't work so hard in the July sun!
