Post birthday weekend

Post birthday weekend is here! This is the first weekend that I race under the 50-54 category; it already changed per USAT standards. Note: I was so excited, I forgot to post ON my birthday!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the first Saturday after my birthday:

1. ft desoto tri
2. brave children 5k
3. shake, rattle, run
4. st Thomas 5k
5. doral 5k
6. sunsmart 5k
7. ives 5k

Without a swimmer, I had to pass on the former, plus it was the furthest of events. Of the aforementioned, I  never did #2  (inaugural) and don't remember the 3rd. Now to choose from the tried and true. Although not the closest in proximity, I picked the latter.

Check it out Clint style:

The good: completed first cross country 5k in new age group
The bad: course, no finisher medals, no trophies for any qualifier
The ugly: internal conditions, time, no hardware (missed the podium)

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the first Sunday after my birthday:

1. star wars half
2. chimpathon 16k
3. Mandel jcc bagel dash
4. multiple myeloma 5k

I passed on the former (furthest). With a couple of 'local' events, I skipped the next. Of the remaining, I chose the latter. Please note, the last 2 were in palm beach county.

Check it out Eastwood style:

The good: beat previous day's time, finisher medal, 7 am
The bad: some wind, distance to race
The ugly: internal conditions, time, no hardware (missed the podium)

Monday agenda-Boston marathon

Good news: I am off
Bad news: not going

Glass time, half:

full: completed 2 races under new category (jack of all trades)
empty: no hardware (missed the podium) in all events (master of none)
