The air was thick with mOUnTaiNBACK talk as John Domico, Jim Myers, Tom Cali, John Sheakoski, Bob Cornwall, Greg Dillon, Costas Maranas, Frank Zaffino, Rob Shaver, Mark Traband, Michael Godlfine, Dana Todd, Ann Skulas-Ray, Meira Minard, Kate Ryan, Dave DeGroote, Rich Harter, Kevin Becker, Tom Hilands, Jamie Volkert, newcomer Miles Smith, and Marty Mazur headed to the track. And well it should have been. Today is the first mOUnTaiNBACK Discovery Series training run, 8 weeks out from the race itself.

Many of today's Trackers will be doing a second workout this evening, up and down Leg 1 of the mOUnTaiNBACK. But that didn't stop them from running a hard, low recovery workout of 3X3X300. It's a good idea to run your Legs of the mOUnTaiNBACK (assuming you know what they'll be) during the Discovery Series. It's also a good idea to get in a few two-a-days between now and October, the best simulation of the real thing for those running more than one Leg of the race.

Of course, that would require forethought, planning, knowing what day of the week it is, etc. There are a few of Bwana's fold who need to move back home so their Moms can tell them what clothes to wear and not to forget their lunch. But, no matter. Yet...Just remember, Bwana is taking note of who the slackers are and will be sure to let the DCR Captains know whom to avoid in the Draft!
