The first “pleugh-h-gh” day of the outdoor track year (and, yes, on request, Bwana will send you a .WAV file with the correct pronunciation of that): hot, hazy, nearly stultifyingly humid, not to mention high ozone levels, as Lance Bland, Michael Goldfine, Dana Todd, Mike Renz, Mike Martin, Mike Zimmerman, Rob Shaver, Kevin Becker, Rob Peterson, Jeff Welsh, Rich Harter, Adam Ilgen, David Lloyd, and Marty Mazur headed for the track.
 
Bwana earlier had said he’d be a little late (or not at all) for this meet-up, and so *some* people reacted accordingly. The old “Cat’s Away, Mice Will Play” principle. Luckily, Bwana had readied his “Bwana-Bot”, who got there just a few minutes late. Bwana-Bot was a stunning success! The trackers were surprised, and somewhat flustered, and gave no indication of suspicion. And when Bwana actually arrived 20 minutes into the workout, the Bwana-Bwanatomaton hand-off was seamless and not noticed by anyone. A perfect way to keep the troops in line. Bwana will download surveillance of the workout before his arrival and review it in good time. So what was that workout? The Bwana-Bot, per Bwana’s instructions, gave the Default No-Brainer Workout: 400-800-800-400 at 5K+ race pace, trying to make the second half at least as fast as the first. The Crew comported itself well.

At least a few had availed themselves of an anticipated Bwana No-Show by being No-Shows themselves, including Jim Myers, Judd Michael, and Tom Cali. There was a New Show, Ryan Burke, Mr. One-On-One Fitness Junior. Maybe more people will send their bots to the track next week, when they inevitably catch up with Bwana’s technology!
