Aw goss toe!

Aw goss toe! That's how Agosto is pronounced in Spanish. This is the opening weekend of August.

Saturday agenda-race!

1. Vermont spartan beast 10+ mile
2.moss park race series (began last night, ended today)
3. race for trace (ft Myers)
4. beat the heat 5k (st Lucie)

I actually did a 2 mile skate in lieu of a morning race. However, at the last minute, I found it difficult to go the entire weekend without racing, so- have car, will travel.

I passed on #1 (requires flying), #2, the 2nd furthest event & #3, far on the west side plus an early start. So, off I try to beat the heat.

Unfortunately, I failed to beat the heat! Why? I not only failed to break 19 but worse, was in mid 20's. I watched the master title run by me while I was suffering in the extreme heat & humidity. I was tired from the long solo drive to port st. Lucie. Oh yeah, it was an afternoon race. Enough with the excuses, I fell short. However, I was pleased that the race was so small, I made the top ten & the top of my age group, so at least I don't return home empty handed; I got a medal.

Sunday agenda-train

I couldn't find any races (except the providence half), so off I train. I normally mount the bike on cross train Monday, so I that & pulled out my skates. Afterwards, I satisfied the run element with 3 quarter mile mill runs. It was nearly a nightmare with no local races. Out of desperation, I did a race and didn't even get that right (time). Now, back to the drawing board.
