Mardi Gras morning 2018 proved to be a day when few were up for a early morning reveille and making a 5:30am post. The scheduled Q had to bail the night before, rumor had it so he could make a Zumba class with his M, or something. Several other Stomp regulars dropped like flies via text the night before, all without worthy excuses. Many of the PAX planned on making the REX run later that morning but YHC could only squeeze in an early run. So alas, there was a PAX of one at the virtual flag on Roosevelt Mall at 5:30 am, where I gave a silent disclaimer and departed on the normal route. YHC enjoyed a serene run out along the bayou, down Jeff Davis, and back. I timed it to be back at the flag for 6:15 in the event of any stragglers who might have posted late but no dice. Kept on going with a jog home and a silent COT along the way, totaling 5+ miles. A few hours later some pics surfaced of the many PAX who posted in Audubon for the run with the King of Carnival. Good to see fartsacking was not dominant that morning. Great way to start Fat Tuesday.
