This morning the Team Piraña ran the Winter Solstice Half Marathon at Bluff Creek, Oklahoma City. It did not matter to them that the race wasn’t actually being held. It didn’t matter that the wind was blowing 40 mph and the temp was falling. It didn’t even matter that today is not actually the Winter Solstice.
What did matter was that the Winter Solstice Half Marathon was the first trail run T3 ever did. At Mav’s invitation he braved the snow and ice last year and venture off the road and into the woods. He has been an avid trail runner ever since. So when the Brothers heard that the race had been canceled for lack of resources, they offered to help, but it was too late. They committed to help next year so the race is on again for the future, but that still left this year and T3’s trail running birthday to be celebrated. So they ran the race anyway. No starting line, no bib numbers, no aid stations, nobody else, just brothers on the trail having fun in the wind and woods.
Take all you can.
Give nothing back!
I’m sorry I was not there. I would have been there had the hospital not had me by the toenails this weekend. Happy trail running birthday to T3.
Pass the weak… See you in a week! (Weak…week…haha)
