A return to the cool, fungusy days of about a month ago saw John Domico, Jim Myers, Jim Moore, Lance Bland, Judd Michael, Greg Dillon, George Lesieutre, John Sheakoski, Costas Maranas, Mark Fedkin, Frank Zaffino, Tom Cali, Tom Hilands, Mark Griffin, Dana Todd, Miles Smith, newcomer Dave Rasmussen, Rich Harter, Tony DiNallo, John Ake, Michael Goldfine, Rob Shaver, Tara Murray, Mark Traband, Sherry Tirko, and Marty Mazur head to the track under drab skies.

It was time for the obligatory fast-twitch workout of the Fall. Bwana had the Crew run 12X200 relays in three person teams. While most teams struggled to have all their members run their 200s under 40 seconds, and some succeeded in running closer to 35, DCR Captain and Thursday Track newcomer Dave Rasmussen was cranking them out in 30 seconds! And, by the way, Sherry Tirko is working on being banned from Track for showing us all up. She comes, what, about a handful of times a year, and each time faster than before! Bwana does not need this kind of endorsement!

Moving from fast-twitch, past slow twitch, and right along to no-twitch...Bwana's trigger finger is twitching since so few of his own team members (3 of 7) seem to think Thursday Track is worthwhile. C'mon, guys (and gal)! I don't want to have to downgrade my pre-mOUnTaiNBACK ranking of my own team! But Bwana need not worry too much. His team's attendance was the tops among the DCR. Bwana  is pretty sure Dave Moore will continue his two-mOUnTaiNBACK streak of Captaining a non-contender team (2 for 7 in attendance!). But Moore's chances are infinitely better than no-show Petrarca and company - oh for 7!
