St. Patrick weekend

St. Patrick weekend is upon us! Also heard the true new year and sabbath.

Saturday agenda-race!

This is my selection for today:

1. rnr marathon DC
2. shamrock scamper 5k
3. shamrock run (10 miler & 5k)
4. sunrise to run 5k
5. march for cancer 5k
6. Daniel's dash 5k
7. marco island half
8. romp thru pinecrest 5k

Since it's rare and I felt lazy (and sick), I chose the latter due to proximity. Got plenty of rest. Weather was cold (sub 60) but little wind. Not happy with my splits but by the grace of God, i managed a PR (sub 20) and made the podium. This was a low quantity, high quality race with no master title, so I had to settle for 2nd in my group and get a dinky medal. I'll take that over the alternative!

Sunday agenda-race!

These are the events on my radar:

a. LA marathon
b. Georgia marathon
c. Sarasota half
d. Amy's 5k for diabetes
e. 25.75 tri Miami
f. motivation man
g. mustang duathlon

The first 2 are automatically eliminated (out of FL). I chose the latter to support my favorite new event company, elite events and it is my first multisport of the year.

It was very cold but luckily a low wind. The long, solo drive, in addition to being sick for a week, took its toll in terms of fitness. Despite that, I managed to get 2nd in age cat and make the bakers dozen. I gotta work on my transitioning; it killed me!

Honorable mention

* I broke the Sunday losing streak with a podium finish
* Finally broke 20
* UM wins ACC & now in the hunt for championship
* Heat tie with 22 straight wins as 2nd most in NBA history
