Last weekend of the month.

Last weekend of the month is here! Hopefully, this also ends the racing drought.

Saturday agenda-race?

1. down2earth 5k/10k cross country run

I had to pass on it due to my mom's funeral. Prior, I rode my bike and a little on the treadmill.

Sunday agenda-race?

1. swim Miami
2. summers end 5k

Ya'll know I am like oil and don't mix with water; scratch the former. Due to the distance and weekend's activity, I have to pass on the latter as well. I did pull off a light run prior to taking my lady to the station to return home.

Opening/Closing.

Opening/Closing. Closing ceremonies for the olympics are this weekend and opening ceremonies for school begin monday.

saturday agenda-race?

1. ft desoto du/tri
2. rampage 5k
3. cf climb

Unfortunately for me, I had to pass on all of the above due to obligations here at home. First, my mom's arrangements then training at my job for a new system to be put in use on the first day of school.

sunday agenda-race?

1. pikes peak marathon

You can automatically rule it out (out of FL), therefore, I didnt race. I got in 9 miles on my feet in the morning.

Olympics!

Olympics! It actually started last week but I already submitted a different title. Any how, that occurs like U.S. presidency, every 4 years. On top of that, last night start pre season football! The dolphins won their game. There is still a drought in regards to racing.

Saturday agenda-race?

1. cape 5k
2. discrimination free zone 5k

Despite the races but opted out in preparation for tomorrow. I did some skating, sprints and walking as training.

Sunday agenda-race?

I found 1 event- trilogy #3 du/tri. Let me break it down Clint Eastwood style:

The good: finisher medal, podium
The bad: 3rd place (8 seconds from losing), wet ground, very windy
The ugly: personal worst time in all disciplines

Back to school weekend

Back to school weekend is here to prepare the kids for school, tax free (*).

Saturday agenda-race?

1. Minnesota half marathon
2. tri siesta key & du
3. cobra country 5k
4. lifetime kick off 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). I passed on the next since there were 2 events on my coast. I picked the latter since its closest in proximity. Take it away, Clint:

The good: got finishers medal
The bad: humid, windy
The ugly: time, didn't place

Sunday agenda-race?

Not! I couldn't find anything so train, it is. I skated 6 miles then jog/walk for over 40 minutes, some with a mystery partner.

* This year, the time frame was cut to 3 days (yesterday + this weekend). Top dollar cut from $100 to $60 and no computer or technology allowed.
