Great turnout for the Stop Soldier Suicide 5K/10K, including over 20 PAX and two very special Speed For Need riders, Frank Polito (94) Army & Spencer Anderson (83) Army. Frank made it clear to Tool Time from the very beginning, “I want to win this time!” or maybe it was more like “We WILL win this time, right Tool Time!” Tool Time didn’t disappoint as he crushed the 5K in a time that most of us couldn’t even come close to without pushing a chair. Team Spencer was a close second and the smiles on both these Vets faces were priceless.
The remainder of the PAX inadvertently lined up for the start of the 10K, although most of them only planned on doing the 5K. No worries, these guys are F3 men and they handled this Omaha even though they didn’t realize what had happened until it was too late. All finished with a smile and with the support of the PAX cheering them across the finish line. We wrapped up the day in a circle doing 22 push-ups for the soldiers we were racing for today.
Sometimes pictures can tell more of the story than any written word, so check these out and be sure to notice some of those smiles, especially from Frank, Spencer, and Pizza Man’s 2.0. Thank you Pizza Man for your help and guidance Q’ing my first SFN race!
