Triple header finale!

Triple header finale! This is last time I can cram a lot of races this year.

Saturday agenda-race!

A plethora of races:

1. Florida half marathon (+5 & 10k)
2. Marco island 5 mile hill run
3. classics by the sea
4. river run
5. n creek explorer 5k
6. turn on the light 5k

By remaining in my normal tri county area, #1 & 2 were automatically ruled out. Next, I cut out the furthest left (#3) even though I been there, done that. Don't remember why but I selected the last one.

Morning agenda-turn on the light 5k

This was part 1 of a double header. To make a long story short, I couldn't hang so I had to settle for 2nd best master. By the grace of God, I still made the top ten despite barely breaking 20.

Evening agenda- n creek explorer 5k

This caps off the day in terms of races. Unfortunately, the race prior with the wait for this one hindered my performance somewhat as reflected with the time. Praise the Lord, I was able to win my age group but failed to make the top ten. Consolation prize-made the dirty dozen. The post race was excellent.

Afterwards, there was a bonus: the holiday pajama party (the bernards).

Sunday agenda-race!

With half the amount, the choice was simpler:

a. parkland 5 mile holiday run
b. trail run (half/10/5 k)
c. jcc 5k

Did enough distance, so a. is out. I want to race traditionally also, ruling out b. This one is a candidate for the Clint Eastwood sytle synopsis:;

The good-won age group, top ten win
The bad- barely broke 20 (however, best of weekend)
The ugly- got beat by 2 runners I couldve, shouldve wouldve. injury 1st mile cost me the master title.
