Hood to Coast Profile #10 - AB!

I guess I could put some joke in here about saving the best for last, etc., but I won’t. Or maybe I just did. Anyway, I was too humbled to write my own bio, so I solicited help from the Subject of our first profilee, SL22. Without further ado:

AB! The Osiris of this race! AB is here for running, other runners!

AB certainly BA’s, that is, bombs atomically. The man is too modest to write about himself, but that’s certainly not due to a lack of subject matter. For example, AB…well, AB is a moderator on this here Sports Frog! That’s certainly an accomplishment, no? He also has a full-time job!

While Brian, TommyBoy, and some of the others may have done more of the actual work in putting this outing together, AB has certainly been the face of the Frog Hood 2 Coast thus far. When you think 12 random strangers piling into vans and struggling to run 5 miles at a time in a reasonable pace, well, you can’t help but think AB. When you think of diligent training over the course of 10 months to turn yourself from a terrible runner into merely a bad one, again, you can’t help but think AB. And finally, when you think potential hero in case a fellow runner cannot complete their leg…well, you are thinking AB.

The first man, the subpar leadoff runner, the Juan Pierre of the Sportsfrog Hood 2 Coast team…AB!!!! Let’s get down to the measurements.

Tale of the Tape:
Name: AB
AKA: The Shark, AB the Intoxicated
Height: 6′2″ (he’ll be real easy to spot amongst the fellow 5′10.5″ runners)
Weight: Doug
Team Role: Runner, Leg #1 (13.55 Miles, 12th most Difficult leg (nice way of saying easiest leg))
10K Potential: Do they hold 10Ks on the treadmill?
Hobbies: Fine whiskeys, cheap beer, fast women
Biggest Asset to Team: Has the size to take on 4 or 5 opposing runners should they get mouthy
Most Likely To: elicit the most responses of “you’re not from here, are you?”

LET’S DO THIS!!!!
