Final weekend before fall begins

Final weekend before fall begins! Autumn will be officially on Tuesday.

Saturday agenda-race!

Here's what's on my list for the last Saturday before autumn is official:

1. Spartan race VT, PA
2. the biggest loser off road VT, PA
3. US air force marathon
4. run against violence 5k
5. homestead foam 5k
6. Miami children's 5k
7. run for the poor 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 3 (out of FL). I planned on the next but it fell through. #5 was a fun run. However, by the grace of God, a double header was possible with the last 2, with the latter at night.

Morning agenda-Miami children's 5k

I unfortunately picked the wrong race and came up empty. Its clint time:

The good: close in proximity, finishers medal
The bad: hot & humid, high quantity & quality race, I struggled
The ugly: high entry fee, difficult to get results on site

Evening agenda-run for the poor 5k

I got a rare second chance to redeem myself; praise the Lord for the opportunity. It's eastwood time:

The good: close in proximity, podium as 1 ag (was 2nd oa)
The bad: humid, wet (rain), no finishers medal, catered only toward Hispanics (90% Spanish spoken)
The ugly: cross country, 2 lap course with multiple, sharp turnarounds, parking set up, only 1 oa, no master, generic medal.

Sunday agenda-race!

Here's what's on my list for the last Sunday before autumn is official:

1. Spartan race
2. the biggest loser off road VT
3. optime 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). That leaves only the latter. i  have a chance to close out on a high note. clint eastwood, take it away:

The good: podium, finishers medal
The bad: hot & humid, high quantity, 2nd and not in top ten, time
The ugly: started late (over 15 min), hilly course
