3-2-1!

3-2-1! I had an opportunity to do 3 events, went to 2 events, completed 1. For details, read on!

Saturday agenda-race!

This is what I considered for this day:

1. Spartan race CD, HI
2. biggest loser half/5k PA
3. color me rad 5k OH, CD
4. fast cat 5k
5. dreher park dash
6. kick off 5k

I had an opportunity to do a double header this day and a race the next. You can automatically rule out the first 3 (out of FL). With enough local events, I passed on #4 due to the distance; that killed the double. The latter was merely a fun run and not a race. Since I had to deal with pms in the ams, I was not entered but did do a training loop easy with friends; I had to save strength for the night race.

I did the inaugural am version of the dreher park dash last month. This is the normal evening version but unlike the past, it featured extreme heat and humidity, and no cloud cover. Only 1 water stop with only water in small cups. This ultimately lead to disaster for me.

First, the famous Clint Eastwood synopsis, then the praises:

The good: podium (3 ag), 2nd ag in dreher park 10k (am 5k plus this one), thanx to the good of ems
The bad: should've won ag (didn't due to incident)
The ugly: final mile, suffered heat exhaustion, extreme heat & humidity, improper hydration, some members of ems were unprofessional and down right mean

To God be the glory. I was in auto pilot (God in control) in the final mile while unknowingly suffering from a medical break down and still placed!

Also, by completing both the am 5k and this pm 5k, I got 2nd ag in the night and day 10k. I tech shirt commemorated this.

Sunday agenda-race?

Drought day schedule:

1. Spartan race
2. rnr marathon RI
3. mr trilogy 3

 You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL), leaving the latter. Due to events prior day, I opted out and did late training on my inlines. Sadly, I only did half the distance.
