Grappling with a Missing Gazelle: T-Minus 3 Days

3.  How will not having Patrick on the course impact our quest to complete 3 laps?



We typically countdown a list of questions that we intend to answer prior to each event.  This countdown is getting a very late start for a variety of reasons.  We begin three days out and we are going to be a man down.  Patrick has documented his injury and will no doubt document the recovery in future posts.  I'm pretty sure their will be an Eye of the Tiger/Rocky type video of Patrick's recovery!

This leads us to the Virginia Beach Mudder where DC and I will run without Patrick for the first time ever.  Patrick is the one that started this journey initially by getting us to run Wintergreen.  He also is our pace setter on the course.  We are typically trailing him yet close enough to see the flowing locks and gazelle like quickness.  We will not have a pace setter on this trip which will be different.  DC and I will have to push each other to get around the course.  We are attempting to complete two laps on Saturday and one lap on Sunday.  I know DC and I are up for the challenge but something just seems like it will be missing if we are not chasing the gazelle!
