Great turnout this year for the NOTC 2 Miler in City Park! F3 stepped up once again to co-sponsor one of the Summer Series races and we lucked out with good weather and some good F2 to boot. The F3 tent looked sharp with the signage, flags, flyers, and even a fancy tablecloth…t-claps Gabrielle for the attention to detail! We managed to get some EH-ing in pre-race and post race, as well as good visibility in general.
The Race: Two miles through City Park. Several PAX put it in high gear while a few others throttled back due to the aftermath of a Murph that morning. T-claps for those out there with the 2.0’s, including Shorty running with his “shorty” in a stroller. Lots of F3 regulars running as well as some occasional gloomers.
The Post-Race festivities: The F3 tent was hopping with the distribution of Mango Freeze, so graciously donated by the fine folks that make it for Jazz Fest. Since cute 11&12 yr old girls handing it out seemed way more appetizing than us sweaty dudes, we put a few of our 2.0’s to work. T-claps to Da Parish for providing the snazzy bottled water to hand out, complements of his insurance business. The crowds were also treated several other tents serving beer, jambalaya, snacks, and more. The biceps got plenty loving with lots of 12oz curls.
The PAX that stuck around till the end were treated to some entertainment from a random, naturally-nawlins character, who is a former Marine and said he might show up in the gloom with us for some PT.
Thanks to those who contributed to the sponsorship collection. We have funds left over that will most likely go towards the upcoming F3 Family Picnic on July 21.
A good time was had by all. Visit runnotc.org for info on the next three Summer Series races and several other events.

I’m still looking for that “Super 7” routine he was preaching.
