Hood to Coast Profile #7 – boybleu!

If boybleu is blowing his horn, you best get out of his way, because he’s headed to next exchange point. There is something to be said about a guy who, having run the event in the past, is smart enough to volunteer to drive instead. All of the camraderie, none of the shin splints.
What we’re looking for from boybleu will be guidance. What we need is for him to give some of his sage wisdom, such as “It’s customary for the vans to stop and water their runners during the leg.” Never mind that in certain legs you can’t do that; boybleu is a bona fide rule breaker. A ruffian. A scofflaw. He’s the type of guy who will bring a keg of Corona Light onto a streetcar and dare you to question him about doing so.
We’re just hoping that his reputation as a chartlatan doesn’t mean that we are all in on his little ruse. A little ruse that involved the registering of a domain name and creating a fictional race whereby to lure twelve unsuspecting strangers to his hometown so as to murder each and every one of them. A very lazy mass-murderer, if you will.
