Aw gust oh!

Aw gust oh! that's how you pronounce this month in Spanish

Saturday agenda-race!

Most events of interest was this day:

1. Falmouth mile MA
2. Spartan race MA, CA
3. central FL tri
4. Naples sprint du
5. jcc maccabi games (thru 8/15)
6. la roootaaa regataaa

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). I passed on the last 2 (non standard events). Without a swimmer, plus the distance, drop #3; Naples, here I come!

History was made here but not in a good way. This was the first time I got a flat at a race; that's the glass half empty. Glass half full was it occurred prior to the start of the du and by the grace of God, the trek cycle tent replaced the tube quickly, allowing me to race.

Now for the Clint Eastwood synopsis:

The good: won age and top dozen
The bad: times, slippery run sections, hot & humid
The ugly: flat, no finishers medal

Sunday agenda-race?

1. Falmouth road race MA
2. Spartan race MA
3. biggest loser WI
4. 25.75 tri

You can automatically rule out any outside of FL, leaving the latter. Unbelievably, I had a swimmer ready but that tri was so stupid, no relay option was offered. naturally, if you refuse to do that, wont be a du option either. besides, the race director(s) seem to be bad since website had a 'contact us' link but no one had the decency to respond to the emails and phone calls. that will be money not wasted on them that shall be applied to some other. I opted for skating. I struggled miserably, both internal (tired plus knee) and external conditions (extreme wind, heat & humidity). I completed the dozen miles and called it a day.
