Last weekend of the month

Last weekend of the month is here!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I could find for the last Saturday of the month:

1. eagle lakes 5k

Guess what I did? Well, normally I would've but since not yet cleared to run and it is a bit far, I passed on that to train. I got attacked to 2 occasions by a bee, one stung me in the finger while I was passing a couple with a dog!

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I could find for the last Sunday of the month:

1. huntingtons disease tri

Guess what I did? I couldn't compete without a swimmer but I did visit. I did some training prior, rode to event, said hello to some friends, then rode back.

Who lee oh!

Who lee oh! That's how july sounds in Spanish. Still a racing drought, still injured. There was a rare Thursday night race prior to this weekend. It was in palm beach, so I had to miss that due to work and distance.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I could muster up for today:

1. downtown dash 5k
2. Hemmingway sunset run

The former was far north (stuart) while the latter was far south (key west). I passed on both due to the distance and my internal condition. Therefore, I opted to train; 5k+ walking.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I could muster up for this day:

Nada! That means nothing in Spanish. Therefore, I opted to train; 5k+ walking.

Mid month crisis

Mid month crisis is upon us! For starters, not many races.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I found for today:

1. beat the heat 5k

I didn't feel well last night so I definitely passed on the only race I spotted because it is on the west side of FL, at least an hour and a half away. I decided to train.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here's what I found for this day:

1. napa to Sonoma wine country half marathon
2. rnr Chicago half
3. fun fit 5k
4. mr trilogy du/tri

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The next is not a race and not timed; I skip that. I am not cleared to run so the latter is out as well. So guess what? I trained doing a reverse du, but walked instead of run.

Yes, I am frustrated!

Racing furlough.

Racing furlough. I call this weekend that due to lack of races and my internal condition (injury).

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I discovered for this day:

1. tri fort de soto
2. down2earth 5k/10k cross country
3. mlb all star electric run

With the last being a night run, a double header was possible. Now the reasons why I passed on all of the above.

1. the furthest of all events. as a tri, I need a swimmer. I could do a do but haven't fully recovered, so no.
2. I don't like the terrain
3. a fun run, plus venue is in downtown Miami. Do you realize how busy it will be there, not to mention the parking nightmare?

Naturally, I did some training.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I discovered for this day:

1. down2earth 5k/10k trail

Guess what I did? Ok, refer to #2 of the reasons I passed (previous day) on racing today. More training but this time 3 miles in a row.

Independence weekend

Independence weekend is upon us! It is also the first weekend of the month.

Saturday agenda-race?

This is what I found for the first Saturday of the month:

1. freedom 5k

Guess where I went? Clint time:

The good: finisher medals, age groups
The bad: cotton tshirt, heat and humidity
The ugly: I didn't even get to keep the cotton tshirt (indian given), couldn't run due to injury

Sunday agenda-race?

This is what I found for the first Sunday of the month:

1. American sprint du/tri
2. loco rio 8k

The former was in naples, while the latter in broward. Normally, I would've taken the latter but I surcame to injuries; I did light training instead.

Monday agenda-work

Tuesday agenda-race?

Happy Independence day! Too many to list on this  holiday, so here is what I would consider:

1. freedom 5k
2. run for honor
3. USA Independence day 5k
4. moe's firecracker 5k
5. run 4 freedom
6. Independence day du/tri
7. Weston hometown 5k
8. 4th of july 5k

The first four are all on the west side (of FL). With enough local events on my side, I pass on those. I took the latter, closest in proximity. Eastwood time:

The good: finisher medals, age groups, tech shirt, 1 loop course, shaved off 6 minutes from prior 5k
The bad: heat and humidity, twists and turns
The ugly: couldn't run due to injury, would've lost even if I could run
