PAX


I arrived at Titan in my normal fashion of a few minutes late to find only one car in the parking lot and no pax.  I was unaware if the Ford Explorer belonged to an F3 brother or someone else.  As I did not see anyone I decided to run into Tanners Creek area, as this is a normal route for the run with pain stations.

I quickly learned that if you are not familiar with the neighborhood you can get turned around and lost rather quickly.

I soon realized I had no idea where I was or how to get back to the school or Beatties Ford Road.  After running around, mostly in circles, I came across Tanners Creek Drive which I was familiar with.  I started running down the road and came to the roundabout.  At this point I thought I was heading the wrong way and ran back down from whence I came, only to realize that I was correct in my first direction.

I then ran back and through the roundabout and finally to Beatties Ford.  I made my way back to the school parking lot at 6:12.  About 15 minutes prior I was wondering if I was going to get out of that black hole of a neighborhood at all.  All in all it was about 3.5 or so miles completed.

I waited around until 6:20 to see if anyone showed up to claim the Explorer.  Noone showed so I left a "Mona Lisa Was Here" note just in case.  

I will need to study a map of that place or at least bring my phone the next time I run alone there.  

I should hav egone to the Sword where i would have been safe lol.

If the owner of the Explorer is known sound off for credit.

If there is no backblast it didn't happen, but it happened and there it is.
