Norman Crew

Time: 110:35
Distance: 16 miles

Connor Wann and I left from the Lodge around 8:30 am and headed toward campus is to pick up Scotty D. along Brooks. We wound our way up to Robinson and battled the wind the entire time. I wasn't expecting the temps to be in the upper 30s with a 15 mph breeze out of the northwest. I guess I should have looked at the weather before leaving the house. The pace was slow but we were having a good time and decided to hit up Sutton Woods. Someone must have recently put up markers and directional signs out on the trail, but we couldn't figure our why every mark read "1/4 mile." There didn't seem to be a starting or ending point, just a bunch of 1/4 mile marks. Probably just some brilliant planning by some douche at the mayor's office.

We enjoyed the wind at our backs on the return trip. I'm not sure if this run was best for our potential pacing duties tomorrow up at the Tulsa Route 66 Marathon. Oh well. Jerry Faulkner will be all over the place regardless.
