Final weekend of July!

Final weekend of July! It also closes the first half of the year!

Saturday agenda-race?

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

1. kijana 5k

Guess what I did? Clint time:

The good: podium
The bad: 2 age (I like to win), weather (rain during race)
The ugly: the course, no finisher medal

Sunday agenda-race?

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

1. napa half
2. escape to Miami tri

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). Without a swimmer I couldn't do the latter either; training time!

Fall solstice (autumn is here)!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the last day of summer:

1. the big sur half
2. Miami trail festival
3. zero prostate cancer 5k

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

The good: finished
The bad: later start, weather (hot), 10 yr age
The ugly: no finisher medal, didn't place, sick

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for the first day of fall:

1. red carpet run half
2. childhood cancer 5k

Not! I was too sick to do any; trained instead.

Labor day weekend!

Labor day weekend!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I found on the first Saturday of the month:

1. labor day 5k
2. save the jaguars 5k

This one was pick your poison for me: The former is very fast but is closest in proximity; the latter has ten year age groups and is the furthest. Yep, I picked the former and got the expected results in terms of the podium; not! However, I didn't help the cause with the excessive walking and the stop to my car (to drop off tshirt since I couldn't return to car from packet pickup); that was the first time I ever did that! Another disappointment was I got a finisher medal that was not as promised (they said it will be mailed).

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found on the first Sunday of the month:

1. rnr virginia beach half
2. king of the hill 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). I normally do the latter but missed because I was out of town. Instead, I trained, visited friends and went to the 10th annual and final pig roast.

Monday agenda-race?

It is rare to race on a Monday but it is a holiday for most; I found 2:

1. canes cross country 5k
2. john clay 5k

I was in the area for both, which were on the FL west coast but opted to train instead.
