Rumble-Tumble Rap

EBun slogged through a 5 mile run but didn't tumble...
She tripped just once - what a bumble!
She started kinda late - 9:00 was the time
For the 2nd of August, the weather was mighty fine!
Later a retirement BBQ for some old work friends.
Sometimes the fun just never ends!

On A lazy Saturday SRab went for a brisk trail walk with her doggie...
It helped her to avoid feeling too groggy!
Later she took a little drive up to Germantown
To a hotel near the "Riley's Rumble" she was bound!
STUK joined her and all they really had time for was some Zzzzs
Since the alarm was set for 4:30 if you please!

Sunday morning was EBun's bike ride, zone 2 easy
A familiar course made things  totally breezy!
Got in 75 minutes, not too bad...
But when it was over EBun was glad!

SRab and STUK weren't just there on a lark-
The day began with a little run in the dark!
SRab ran the 4 miles to the race start and a little bit more-
Just about 7 miles total did not feel like a chore!
Time to get the race bib and don the bunny ears -

N2, SRab, and STUK - Ready to "Rumble"

The gun went off with lots of cheers!

At the beginning the terrain was pretty tame -
But would all those hills put them to shame?
Certainly not! Because hills are our friend!
STUK and SRab handled them fine to the very end!
The beautiful scenery and great volunteers made the race grand -
Especially when you had a yummy electrolyte Popsicle in your hand-
They gave them out at mile 8.5...
So many flavors - that ain't no jive!
For an August training race Riley's Rumble was heaven sent;
Love that the bib actually said "low key event!"
Once crossing the finish line STUK and SRab weren't quite finished -
Anyone want to run more? Any interest?
There were no takers, so we went on our merry way...
STUK did 2 more, SRab did 8 - what can you say?
Except this was training run for Can Lakes -
And we are determined to do whatever it takes!
