Ah, I thought I would run in reverse out to the 800 turnaround mark...when King shouted, I thought I should make all my transitions at the start/finish curb...some guy riding shotgun in a pickup shouted "You're running the wrong way!"...I guess so! I'm definitely doing a "Griff", possibly "Griff" intervals on the track.

B- I thought you were pulling Forest Gump - you just kept running....but backwards. You still kicked my ass after overrunning the segment.
