Who lee? oh!

Who lee? oh! That's how to pronounce July in Spanish.

Thursday agenda-run, sweat & beers

Itching for race, I returned to this venue despite my memory of struggling here last year. I had to rush from work to make it. It was hot & humid with no clouds nor shade. Besides contending with that and my injury, what sealed my doom was first, my legs seemed to weigh a ton, which resulted in some difficulty with proper breathing. I had to just get through it like a marathon but no finishers medal for my efforts.

Saturday agenda-race?

I found a couple:

1. race for baby (Naples)
2. Hemingway days 5k

Both were far, so in light of recent events, I decided to train instead. I utilized the same workout as last time. I got similar results.

Sunday agenda-race!

I found a couple more:

1. rnr Chicago half
2. tri trilogy #2

Guess which one I'm doing? the latter!

The team I created at motivation man, A.C.T. movitavated, won trilogy #1 with the same swimmer, Tommy. Unfortunately, he left with his wife out of the country but yet I still want to race. I asked same the person I first approached (Omar) to do motivation man (but later declined) and this time he agreed. He is a good runner (Jose) but opted to get a friend (iRun teammate) to do that so that we could concentrate on 1 discipline; wise decision. For both, it was the first time being on a relay. For the swimmer, his first race ever swimming! Collectively, we were the fastest relay but given the title first male tri team. We did the sprint, not the Olympic, since I began the series that way. A du was available & the past 2 years, Spence & I ruled that; sadly, he opted out this year.
