As Saints fans we were hoping the Dome Patrol would have returned this past Sunday, but that didn’t happen. It finally showed up today. Three LARC members and a guest from Winston-Salem did what they could to define what the Dome Patrol will become post BRR.
Warm-up
Run the Ramp in front of Gate A to give any late arrivers time to roll in hot. ¿Dónde está El Guapo?
The Thang
Run. That’s pretty much it. We ran down Tulane, cut across Harrah’s to the Aquarium. Then we ran down river to Jackson Square. This is where we lost Cav and Bam. I really was trying to pay attention, but Swamp Cock can enthrall you with conversation. We circled back to go get them, but didn’t see them. We asked several people in the park if they saw any runners. They all apparently pointed us in the wrong direction. We retraced our steps….well not really, we went back a fairly similar way to the VSF, but didn’t find them. After returning we ran up and over the Gate A ramp forward and backward several times until the clock neared 0615. Then we headed back to the VSF, relieved to find Cav and Bam waiting for us.
NMM
- If you are looking to fit in another running workout, come try out the Dome Patrol. It’s not just parking garages. This AO has a lot of potential..running in Woldenberg Park, running through the quarter, running around not Lee Circle, etc. Runs will be structured for all paces.
- Losing Bam and Cav lead to some impromptu Fartlekking for Swamp and me. In our rush to find them we definitely had a negative split.
- Be careful on Canal St. When they clean the sidewalk in front of their businesses, the wet surface creates a Looney Tunes boobie trap for runners in flip-flops.
- Prayers for Bam and the residents of North and South Carolina as they prepare for Hurricane Florence.
- Check GroupMe for more info regarding Dome Patrol in the coming weeks.
