Father's day weekend!

Father's day weekend!

Saturday agenda-race?

I didn't find much:

1. grandma's marathon
2. run 4 the sea 4 miler

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL); that leaves the latter. I passed on both to prepare for dad's day. I opted to train instead.

Sunday agenda-race?

Happy father's day! I only found 1 event: kb trilogy #1

I have done relays before but this one was quite different. In fact, a real challenge. A team was formed by Kerry, paralyzed as a domestic violence victim, so that she could complete a marathon with assistance.

The swimmer was linda. she had to pull her with a 'raft' while swimming
The cyclist was yours truly. I had to pull her with a 'cart' attachment to my bike
The runner was Emily. She had to push her with a 'stroller'

This concept was new to all of us but I am going to talk about me because I almost backed out. Why? This was in key Biscayne, which requires going over the steep Rickenbacker causeway bridge twice. I normally climb the bridge standing but couldn't do that with the cart, requiring me to use solely my legs. I struggled going up but by the grace of God, managed. Also, I had to do something I hate to do, especially going down hill- use brakes! I realized I had to control the speed going down with this method. Although I posted my worst ever bike time, I successfully completed my leg, delivering her safely to transition; I came in faster than they expected, if that's any consolation.
