I believe the technical term is BFGT (I think that refers to some sort of large gas truck).

BTW, I managed a new 5K PR this morning: 23:50.2 (2:23.0/500m pace). Just a good, steady effort, and my 3rd 5K PR this week...

I think all of the LSD (long, slow distance) of the FTC gave me a good base.

Reminds me of the BFG9000 from Doom...

Yes, it was a nice place. Sunny and cool with no diesel fumes from other trucks. Ha ha ----- And thats a M978 fuel transport truck, and no I wouldn't have to kill you for that one

. They have been around for years. The one before that may be a different story -- as you notice I did not post any pics of it. Or even mention what I was carrying. <enter mission impossible music here>

A couple of failed attempts at 10k. It's amazing what a week off will do to the mind.
