Final weekend of July!

Final weekend of July!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the last Saturday of the month:

1. eagle lakes 5k
2. kettle krush 5k
3. AIMM foundation 5k

Normally, I do the former (part of the elite series) but it also is the furthest event. I thought about the latter (closest in proximity) but not only do I have to run the rick, it features a highly improbable chance to win due to my category (40-59), so I went to the remainder. Although slightly better (50-59), there was only 1 overall, plus I sustained an injury to the left leg. I chose to train during the event.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the last Sunday of the month:

1. the san Francisco marathon
2. huntingtons disease triathlon

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). Without a swimmer, I have to pass on the latter as well; I guess that means I have to train instead. I decided to do a short long run (almost 5 miles).

Hemmingway weekend in the keys!

Hemmingway weekend in the keys! a rare Thursday night race (run, sweat and beers) preceded this weekend but I couldn't attend due to both distance and time of event.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for today:

1. Hemmingway 5k and paddle board race
2. gixo fun run

I passed on the former for the latter despite the fact that it wasn't a race. This was largely due to distance & cost; you cant be free.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for this day:

1. san Francisco marathon
2. run to shout 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL), so I did the latter. Clint time:

The good: podium, top age, finisher medals
The bad: ten year age, no master
The ugly: course not marked causing most to run much longer

Mid month crisis!

Mid month crisis!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I could find for today:

1. fun fit challenge

I passed on that because it was not a race (fun run) and opted to train instead.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I could find for today:

1. mr trilogy du/tri #2

I could've done the du but partnered up with linda to swim and got harolyn to run. Linda and I did better than last time; she by a lot, myself by a few seconds. harolyn ran a low 22. Although her best time thus far this year, we were dead last. After cycling, we advanced to 2nd in our category. Harolyn maintained this position until the finish. Our combined efforts led to a surprising podium finish (2nd co-ed relay).

Who lee oh!

Who lee oh! That's how july sounds in Spanish. this is a drought weekend as I could find no races within my range. Must opt to train.

Saturday agenda- free 5k.

I arrived just prior to but missed the start. I jogged until I reached the final walker then walked with her.

Sunday agenda- race?

Not! I pulled out my inlines and did some skating.

Independence day!

Independence day! This is the day that the united states of America celebrates its independence from England. However, I notice many of the things we tried to escape have been implemented in a different manner. My opinion, tolls, various taxes (property, estate, sales and income) seem very similar and tolls are like taxation without representation since all I see are improved ways to collect more money rather than fix the roads.

Today's agenda-race!

I found various all over the state, so I boiled my selection down to as follows:

1. run 4 freedom 4 miler
2. Weston hometown celebration 5k
3. 4th of july 5k

Each 1 is in a different county. Palm beach, broward and dade; I did the latter. Clint time:

The good: finisher medal, close to home, 7:04 scheduled start
The bad: started late
The ugly: didn't place, race results difficult to view at race, right shoe fell apart

Transition weekend!

Transition weekend! It is pre independence day weekend.

3. all American 5k
