Diasaster!

Disaster! that describes the weekend to the tee.

Saturday agenda-race!

These are the events considered:

1. reggae marathon
2. Savannah river bridge run
3. spartan sprint
4. jingle bell jog 5k
5. steps for healing 5k
6. trikw

Keeping with the current trend, the furthest were automatically eliminated; 1 & 2. Without a swimmer, strike #7. With a relay looming, I can't chance an adventure race as a tune up. Last year, I got cremated at #4, despite the best time of the year! Therefore, I gave #5 a chance.

Praise the Lord! I made the right decision. Despite a dismal time, I made the top ten and won the master title! I struggled tremendously with the high winds. Plus, it wasn't exactly cool.

Sunday agenda-race!

more events to choose from:

a. rnr las Vegas
b. brandon half/5k
c. muddy buddy championship
d. palm beach marathon
e. inlet challenge bike ride
f. trail run (half/10k/5k)
g. 25.75 tri

Still keeping with the current trend, the furthest were automatically eliminated; a,b,c. no swimmer, no tri; last 1 out. race over rides & fun runs takes out e. i chose a tradition distance over the trail one.

I put together a good team & called it OMG, anticipating a win even though i had to use 2 other guys.

leg 1- Mike Kelly, runner of the 2011 BCS triathlon team i set up
leg 3-Sandy, rookie to relays, qualified by beating me for a win in a race; said endurance racing was specialty
anchor-veteran teammate Gene

Although injured, Mike had us in the lead. I kept us there until past mile 9, after that I don't know what happened. I surcame to a medical mishap (OMG!) & failed to deliver for team (make relay point) for the first time in history. OMG turned out to be a negative surprise.

All were good sports & the remaining 2 continued without my presence after getting the chip from me at the tent. We actually still made the podium because of their efforts. I apologize for letting the team down. Lord, I pray this never happens again.
