The stifling humidity of the early part of the week had abated a bit as John Domico, Lance Bland Judd Michael, Jim Moore, Andrew Webb, Costas Maranas, Nick Downs, Tom Hilands, Miles Smith, Tara Murray, Rob Shaver, Mark Lee, Jeremy Zerbe, newcomers Scott Roycroft and Tony DiNallo, Dana Todd, Kirk Rager, John Ake, Jamie Volkert, and Marty Mazur headed for the track. Lee Culver and Ron Cunfer had already squeegeed the track for the rest of the Crew.

A large percentage of this weeks Crew would be doing a Two-a-Day today, showing up for tonight's Tussey run as well. Tonight's run is a steep descent of over 1000 ft over the course of just under 8 miles. Bwana decided another descent would make a decent workout this afternoon, so he had the group do a downward ladder: 1000-800-600-400-200, quickening the pace for each step down. The trio of Domico, Maranas and Smith took that to heart. I'm not sure how slow they started, but their 400 came in about 72 and the 200 was right about 30!

Several of the Crew are descending a different kind of ladder, one described in detail by Dante Alighieri about 700 years ago. Julie Grubb seems to be stuck in Limbo. Marv Hall probably won't get into the Circle of Sloth Hall of Fame since he's working too hard at it. It's obvious that his Irish upbringing and the work of the nuns at St. Bridget's had little lasting effect on the ever impious Greg Dillon, who doesn't even genuflect at church, let alone at the track. And Mark Fedkin has descended down pretty close to that skating rink with the ugly, three-faced guy at the center!
