A Late 2023 to 2024 Wrap-Up Rap!
Back in mid December, STUR went into the Sweater Weather
Meet with no expectations -
But of course she didn’t completely treat it like a vacation.
First up was the long “ish” 500 free-
She was lucky to have BBun as her counter you see!
Every time she flipped she knew she would be cheering-
STUR thanks her for volunteering!
The 100 fly came very quickly after this event-
The wall on the last lap was heaven sent!
A quick 50 free was next in the first leg of a relay-
Have no idea where they placed! You don’t say!?
After some meet technical difficulties-
She got the 100 and then finally the 200 done- geez
It was a long day but took time after to visit the water park-
Inside the closed slide is very dark!
The very next day, BBun went to do a little run
At Fairfax Corner and it was a bit of chilly fun
For her troubles she got a cool hat and shirt
And she ran without stopping - but that didn’t hurt.
Saw Greg for a few seconds at the finish
Long enough to get a selfie as you wish
Then met up with some peeps from high school
Coffee at their usual Starbucks is always cool
Joined by two teachers from way back when
It’s always good to catch up with them!
To run out 2023, STUR and BBun did a race
12k in Burke and a new distance for both in this case.
It was a sunny and cool but not too cold
Perfect running weather truth be told
One water stop guy wished them “hoppy” new year-
We know it’s not Easter yet- never fear!
At the end there was a medal and snacks-
Were there any Oreos? Perhaps…
In February some rabbits gathered again at Burke Lake.
Lots of distances available to take!
KBun and STUR both did the half
TBun the 10K and BBun a 5K, natch!
Also ran into an old friend from Team Z days
Helen and her dog Betsy have joined the Bishops running craze!
In early March the rabbit crew took on the Pistol Ultras again
Lots of different distances, for the win
KBUN made a valiant effort out of NINETY miles!!
As she suffered with some terrible blisters for many miles.
TBun breezed through a 50k
Got it done on a rainy day
Stilt was in for the overnight 50
She got it done - pretty nifty
STUR decided twenty miles was certainly enough-
She happily let the RD know- she wasn’t gruff
BBun toed the line for a marathon
Two long and short out and backs got it done
Richard was also out there for some Pistol fun
A 50k then some time spent with KBun
The last weekend in April two rabbits raced a double
It’s no big deal - It keeps them out of trouble
On Saturday it was a West Virginia 10k
Held at Canaan Valley, you don’t say?
TBun was also there doing a half.
It was nice to see her at the start, Natch!
On Sunday it was time to run up THE hill again
Mt. Summit is always a challenge for the win
Kerri - StiltJr - and David came along for the fun
And you in the end they all got it done!
On Mother’s Day BBun raced the Kinetic Sprint
She had perfect weather in a pinch
Her goal was to finish upright and smiling
And even managed to run most of the run - that’s winning
Late June someone had a milestone birthday
So Stilt and BBun ran a trail-ish 5K
Then to celebrate the rabbits gathered for a proper tea!
Did they use BBun's mom's teapot? Yes indeed!
In July BBun represented at the kickASTtri
A casual social event it’s a good reason why!
On a not too hot or humid Sunday in late August
The rabbits met up in Annapolis, for you guessed it!
It was the A-10 race you see –
This year was the 49th anniversary!
KBun is the rabbit who is running the most
Through those 10 miles she did coast
The others were all a little worried about making the time cut off
Maybe it’s silly but please don’t scoff
But they all finished in time – easy peasy
With a smile on their faces of course, extra cheesy!
Stay tuned to see what the rest of 2024 brings
And you can be sure for 2025 they’re already planning!
