Mid month crisis (July)

 Mid month crisis (July) has arrived early. Can you believe tomorrow is already the middle of July? The racing drought continues along with my struggles to run in the heat and humidity.

Saturday agenda-race?

This is what I had on my radar:

1. Spartan race IL
2. color me rad 5k GA, MA
3. beat the heat 5k
4. strider track meet

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). I almost had a weekend of just training but carpooled with the master champ to #3. I had a tough time with the heat & humidity so I had to settle for 2nd in my age group. Jon got a trophy, as did the overall winner while the rest of us got medals.

I was ready for the latter to complete a double header but driving 2/3 up to event, I saw the clouds & lightning. Once I made it to the event, the storm was full blast and much to my chagrin, it was cancelled and I wasted time & gas money. It literally rained on my parade.

Sunday agenda-race?

You can automatically rule out the only event I found (out of FL):

1. Spartan race IL, CD

 I have to workout. Therefore, I chose a long ride from my house to Florida city (31 miles).
