seems he is a natural. He showed no signs of fatigue, but he did have a problem with a bit of chafing on Joah Torrisi shows one of his legs that came from too much fun on a off his mini RRS water slide the day before. Jeremy, Joah’s dad, was bib and medal right behind us on a bicycle from start to finish – we for completing his ran on an asphalt walking path around the rec center virtual 5K. – and Jake was right there, too. I found Joah and Jake to be a very bright young men. They expressed themselves well and seemed to be enjoying the day. Neysa told me after the run that Joah seems to like the atmosphere at local 5Ks put on the normal way instead of being virtual. As we were getting close to the goal of 3.1 miles, I started giving Joah a countdown of sorts, but I let him keep a steady pace if that suited him. That was how we finished. Everyone was happy when the run was concluded. Joah didn’t set any records, but it was a hot, humid day – just what you get Auto Home Life when you go outside in July in this part of the world. After I told Donna about my new running friend, she had one comment: “Ah, the next Chris Rayder.” That’s a tall order, considering that young Mr. Rayder, whose exploits have been chronicled in this magazine more than a few times, is one of those athletes who come along once in a generation. Perhaps Joah will enjoy reading about and being inspired by Chris. I would love to be there if the two of them ever meet at a start line somewhere. It could happen. ServIng Tn for 18 yeArS.
