Exaggerated adventures by Ted

 I guess we’ll start with the drive up;  last year the drive  up was full of anxiety, panic and lots of thoughts of turning around. This year I didn’t even want to stop for gas! I zoomed out of work at 10:00 a.m. on the nose, grabbed my pre-race and during race nutrition….. three 12” Mexican mikes from the local deli. These are my all time favorite sandwich and just the thought of them makes my mouth water. So I grabbed those, a few pies from work and I was northbound. 9ish hour drive. I started with some “soft white underbelly” videos from YouTube; but they weren’t cutting it, I needed high energy. Good vibes. Ya know??? So we went straight Will Smith- gettin jiggy with it from 1998ish.  The messages were coming in hot and heavy from all my Shenanigan friends on the face space messaging platform. We all had an 8-10 hour drive so they were letting out all the secret places to stop for fries and updating on the high speed chase that closed down the Mackinac bridge....
