Joe Davis Run GO TIME!

So it is almost “GO” time for the 2015 Joe Davis Memorial Run. Before I get into the more tactical details, I want to say that I am personally psyched about this particular race for a few reasons. My (and yours) F3 brother Rock Thrill (Chris Davis) has been a tremendous encouragement to me personally and a total stand up example and embodiment of what F3 is all about. I am excited because the pax have responded by supporting this run and therefore the Davis family and the cause of supporting those that are actively coming out of the disease of addiction. F3 seems to find ways to “show up” and that is exactly what Area 51 is going to do this Saturday and I am proud to be on this team and will wear my F3 jersey with pride.

Tactically:

Race Packet Pickup: Personally YHC would suggest you pick up your packet prior to race day.

Let’s psych up the pax, someone overheard that Freeloader (Metro pax) tweeted out not to worry about the course map, just try not to lose sight of SIB…

Shout out to Stone Cold for an impromptu decision to pace my slow six.

I know I wouldn’t have been only 1:00 over PR on that hilly course if it wasn’t for him pushing me all the way. That’s what F3 is all about. #ISI My PR was run on a mostly flat and fast course. Nothing like this one!

I’ll get faster, and you better watch out next year. Middle of the pax for me! lol
