Intensity Club

August 22, 2019 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
We shortened the afternoon run this year by dropping every one in Harper's Ferry (rather than giving them the option of running to it from the visitors' center) and discouraging them from running all the way back. After both a milkshake and an ice cream, I joined a goofy group of runners (Ella, Camilla, Abby, Ruby, Benji Florence) and we ran back over the bridge to Maryland, eating all the way. Got interviews with the new intensity club inductees on film as they were running. When we'd made it to the other side, the girls drew a bit arrow in the dirt with a rather elegant hopper design to keep future runners from turning the wrong way (a la Eva and Marissa, 2017). Abby then amazed us all by turning her first-ever successful cartwheel. A new era had dawned.
