Ock 2 bray

Ock 2 bray. That's how October is pronounced in Spanish. This also mark just past the mid month crisis.

Saturday agenda-race!

This is what I found for this day:

1. Spartan race MS
2. Sanibel 10k
3.trick or trot trail 5k
4. zombie rush 5k
5. run for the money 5k
6. 5k ghost run
7. race for the cure 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). I planned on a double header since #3 was a night race but it got cancelled. I passed on the furthest (2,3) and the closest (7), leaving the remaining in palm beach. I took the closest one of those (6).

The weather was nice for a change (upper 60s, no wind, low humidity). Despite good external conditions, my internal conditions (tired and tight, with some knee issues remaining) cost me the age group win. With a podium appearance, i will count my blessings.

The good: podium, plaque, weather
The bad: travel, 2nd ag
The ugly: time, injury, beat by 3 women

Sunday agenda-race!

Here's what on the docket this day (a plethora of events):

1. the biggest loser 5k/half WI
2. Toronto marathon
3. Detroit marathon
4. atlantic city marathon
5. rocktoberfest 10 miler
6. wellington 10 miler
7. long boat du/tri
8. freedom ride
9. sarcoma 5k
10. buddy walk and 5k run
11. spooktacular 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 4 (out of FL/US). With current internal condition, not ready for the next 2, so i'll stick 2 what i do best with the remaining; Still a lot to choose from. I didn't feel like the travel for #7. With enough running races, strike out the ride. I should've taken 10 since I don't remember doing it but I decided latter over the other, even though I like both.

The good: podium, cool weather, time better than yesterday
The bad: humidity, 2nd ag, the course
The ugly: burned out sooner, beat by 3 women

I enjoyed the number of choices, especially sunday. Unfortunately, it can cause regret when you see hind sight that you could've done better elsewhere, as I did.
