Thirteen of Rock Hill’s best showed up and showed out at the Come See Me road races Saturday. For those of you that don’t know, Come See Me is Rock Hill’s Annual spring festival held each April.

The camraderie among the F3 Rock Hill Pax was incredible. Each man was out there trying to help his brother push himself to do a little better. The 5k was an out and back, so each Pax was cheering on his brothers as they passed. As some of the 5k runners left, they passed the half runners coming in and were cheering them on. This race was truly a testiment to Iron Sharpens Iron.

Some Highlights:
5k:
Burgundy (who else) finished 3rd overall and 1st in the 35-39 Age Group with a blistering time of 20:27
Cheeto finished 7th overall and 2nd in the 35-39 Age Group with another blistering time of 20:59
Schrute (YHC) finished 16th overall and 3rd in the 35-39 Age Group with a PR of 22:29
Winchester finished 17th overall and 2nd in the 30-34 Age Group with a time of 22:40
Smoke Wagon finished 3rd in the 25-29 Age Group. (his 2.0 was flying too!)
Bill Nye and Water Boy both ran PRs. Water Boy finished his first 5k in just over 31 minutes!
Samurai and Van Wilder did strong work on a tough course. Both continue to amaze me as they get better daily.

The strong work by @F3RockHill continued in the Half Marathon.
Beaker finished 2nd overall and first in the 25-29 Age Group with a blistering time of 1:30:06
Reborn won the master’s division of the Half Marathon and finished 7th overall with another super fast time of 1:37:06
Choir Boy won the 45-49 Age Group with a time of 1:56:00
The Riddler (in his first half marathon) finished 3rd in the 25-29 Age Group with a time of 1:59:43.

This also means that all @F3RockHill runners in the Half Marathon broke the 2 hour mark. Strong Work!

All of the above is a testament to the hard work that each Pax gives each day. Each man who posts has a hand in these results, whether they ran in this race or not. We all are better together. So let’s keep working hard and making each other better physically, spiritually, and as men.

Schrute out!
