Mid month crisis

Mid month crisis has arrived again! Only got in 2 races prior to this weekend as the drought continues.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I could muster up for today:

1. Spartan race IL
2. cape 5k
3. cobra country 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). I planned on the latter until I felt a slight injury in my left ankle. I decided it was best to pass on that cross country race to focus on the next day since my teammates expect the best performance from me. I ended up doing light training, especially since it began raining on me.

Sunday agenda-race?

1. Spartan race IL
2. pikes peak marathon
3. mr trilogy #3

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). Therefore, the latter wins! It was a legendary day as I got tommy to swim again and fredy for the first time ever to bike on a relay. When the dust cleared, we got 2nd male sprint tri. Due to circumstances, the events were moved to a new venue- historic Virginia key beach (back in the days of segregation, the only beach in Miami where blacks were allowed).

Honorable mention

Since I ran into many friends from the past, this section is restored as homage. Congrats to those who raced. Glad I met up with them all. I apologize in advance as many will be missed.
