  • 24032 Venti -RCR – from Sea Man

    In celebration of RCR, a massive wave of PAX sojourned into the gloom towards the river! Even Whoppers Delicate Machine was eager for a Double Esspresso! The Venti now consists of 3 Routes:

    Route 1 – The Esspresso – AKA IR Layup a walk down St Charles to Adams and to Starbucks
    Route 2 – Venti – down uptown side of the park, across Magazine, first right to the levy, sprint up the levy post Army Corps, to Carrolton to Starbucks.
    Route 3 – Grande Venti – down the uptown side of the park and continue round past the Golf Course. Cross Magazin towards the Grotto and Avenger Field then follow the levy to the standard Venti.

    We all rallied at Starbucks, for Dong Phong where exceeded the dBs of Baristas ears. We filed down Magazine like a bunch of middle aged Frat Dudes + O’Dulles + Tree Frong + Bubbles. TUPD was very confused as they past us.

    A lot of guys have been bringing their 2.0s on these runs and it has been fun. Routes 2 & 1 are done a clydesdales talking pace.

    Talking is the mission of the venti! Back in March a guy Justin Erenworth took his life and left a wife and 2 young kids with a lot of questions. Recentlly Peppa has had 2 HIMs from his Navy days take their life, and just last week Wilson & I, our friend lost their 16 yr old to suicide. So this give us a time to talk and be there for one another. Not everyone can stick around for coffee or “COFFEE” w/ Almonaster!

  • I’m Such an Idiot – from Sea Man

    I ordered a Grande.

  • Venti 23348 – from Douille

  • Venti – 23341 – from Sea Man

    A slightly chilly morning kept many away from the park and the levy! But the intrepid Venti carried on with a krewe of 6 including 1 FNG. The pack moved briskly at 10 min pace to Starbucks where we had to wait for the Drip to finish. Could have used some of Couch’s Penicillin. Usualy saunter back to the flag. River, Srapes younger brother and first EH dubbed him Huck!

  • Venti 23285 – from Sea Man

    A wet post cold front morning awaited the Venti as we ventured down the path! Devoid of the usual cast of characters, Moana managed to make the lone angry cycler irascible. In response to “ON YOUR LEFT”, Moana instinctively moved to his left blocking our nemesis incurring his disgust and wrath as he eventually slid by! At the Cooter Brown turn off, Badmoon riddled with guilt from Maria, continued to run, while the rest of us sojourned on to Star Bucks. StarBucks didn’t have any dark brew available but complete indifference and random instagram beverages. Bad Moon joined back up at Audubon and St Charles!

  • Smurph Mountain Misogi part 2 – from Sandbar

    Same as before. Gather in groups of 4 of simliar speed – one to run for help and 2 to carry the body. Quick disclaimer. No Warmup. 5 mountains. 10 burpees at the bottom and top of each mountain. That’s a Century. Plus a mini- murph tucked into the middle with 25 pullups, 50 pushups, and 75 squats. Most everyone made it back by COT, but noone completed 5 mountains. The Rules of a Misogi (according to Michael Easter) are Rule 1: Make it really hard. Rule 2: Don’t die. Except for one pax spewing Martinelli’s, there were no casualties. But the Smurph Mountain Misogi remains a challenge.

  • Tsunami 23258 – from Sea Man

    We ran…we ran in two groups! Tsunami express went the usual route along levy to Oak and back via Calhoun (5.0). Tsunami Freight headed around fly and back (3.2)

  • Venti – Pumpkin Spce – from Sea Man

    A health group mustered and we started a minute late, but hey it’s the Venti! We greeted the oder couple on their morning walk, passed the wife and witness protection husband as they made their lap. Along the levy path an angry cyclist zoomed by. Discussion meander from Roofing to Solar Panels

    *Disclaimer – the comfortable pace of the Venti is a great intro for those returning for hiatus or as an introduction.
