Waiting for Dave G. to call me back for run group placement.

Looking forward in running in the PDS series.

 

I would guess with your experience and speed you would be in Orange or Blue. I would try for Orange as it is a bit faster and less crowded.

 

I figure to run in Blue and get an instructor, maybe get bumped to Orange later on.

Have run SOW only a few times and still need to attempt to find "the line".

See you next week.

 

Dave told me this morning he's going to Daytona for the 24. You may be hearing from Marty M.....

 

Dave called tonight and got me set up for next weekend.

Been waiting for over a month to get back on the track. 8 days and counting
