No v m bray!

No v m bray! That's how you pronounce this month in Spanish.

Saturday agenda-race!

I actually found a ride that began yesterday. of course, I had to work plus anyway, it's not a race. Most events seem to be scheduled for today:

1. nature bound run 5k/10k
2. run for recovery 5k
3. delray beach turkey trot 5k
4. Merrill lynch bull run
5. mud dog mud run
6. steps for healing 5k
7. electric run 5k

I passed on the former since the rest are within the tri-county area. I had an opportunity to do a double header since the latter is a night event but it is not a race and I'd rather prepare for the day.

I chose the closest in proximity, eliminating 3, 4 & 5. This was my third weekend in a row doing a race at the zoo. Unfortunately for me, it was actually a 5k, no PR. It was still humid, heat cut slightly by the clouds, some sprinkle prior to start. When the dust cleared, by the grace of God, I won the master title. Due to lack of signage near end, I went off course and lost 3 overall positions. Luckily, none were 40+ and I returned in time to beat the somebody who was by seconds. The overall spot was snagged by teammate Jon.

Sunday agenda-race!

Not so many this day but nevertheless:

1. Bahamas half
2. PA marathon
3. purple stride 5k
4. down2earth trail run half/10k/5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL/US). Since the latter was a trail run, I chose the remaining.

To my dismay, #1 it was a high quality, high quantity race and #2 horrific age categories (only overall then drop to mostly ten year age groups). Naturally, I got smoked but worse, I had a bad day, failing to break 21. Just like that, I went from hero to zero. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
