Winter Team joins us - I am suddenly a "Vet"

Today I noticed at AM track that there were significantly less parking spots at 5:30 in the morning...hmm. Turns out the winter team (running the San Antonio Rock n' Roll Marathon) began their training this week and joined us, thus taking all the parking spots for ontime/almost late folks like myself. I think Coach wanted to make an example out of us. We are "team blaz (on fire)" as I mentioned early in the training, and they are "team fired up" - obviously newcommers are scared into thinking running = fire? I don't know. Anyhow, he had us run two miles at race pace around the "million dollar view" clark kerr track. Then, for fun I guess, he had only team blaze (that would be the "vets") run 3 repeats of the largest hill in history, or at least this side of the bay. To give you a good idea...my little vw golf can hardly make it up this hill WHEN DRIVING, so I park at the bottom. Coach had us sprint up three times while newbies of team fired up stood at the bottom saying "woah." Woah is right, I kicked it's butt - and then almost fell on mine when I was done.
