Did/does anyone here run for Carnegie Mellon?

I attended a nearby school and would often wander onto campus at CMU for the showers and plethora of D3 girls who party hard. Highly recommend

will...not...let...this...thread...die...

As a DIII alum from a school a little farther north of CMU, who faced CMU a lot, I can agree that shower traditions and group showers in general are a must for any team. Senior year my favorite thing to do was shower after a ridiculous workout. Sometimes I'd get three showers spraying on me and just sit in there and chill as the room became one hell of a sauna. Occasionally we'd come back at night and block the door and drains and turn the shower into a giant bath tub, bubbles and all.

What is the male version of a LUG?

It’s an amazing school academically, and if you are in robotics, AI, or computer learning related studies it will really get you on the right track.

The athletic facilities are small, but boast exceptionally good plumbing. On a cool autumn morning the steam generated by the pre-run showers is spectacular as it rolls across the hills in the park as you train.

The sounds of practicing bagpipes echoing through the showers as you and your teammates luxuriate in the moist embrace of the mid-run shower is sublime.

... and you haven’t lived until you have sucked the warm and creamy coleslaw nectar out of a soggy Primanti Brothers sandwich during your post-run recovery shower.

Whoever said Pittsburgh wasn't a good city is BS. CMU is literally touching Schenley park which is huge, soft surfaces, great trails. You're 1.5mi from an even bigger park system, Frick Park. Not to mention good trail system on all of the rivers, epic runs to Mount Washington overlooking the city.

i was wondering when you'd show up. everytime i see a comment about running in pittsburgh, someone always says "epic runs to Mt Washington. This is very true. I like flying down into Panther Hollow then down the Jail Trail, cross the Liberty Bridge and then The Climb.

also...at the top of schenley park is another track where the local fast club (Pittsburgh Pharaoh Hounds) work out. very good runners and none of that "rah, rah, you're amazing for finishing" malarkey SCRR goes on and on about.
