Mid month crisis (Oct)

Mid month crisis (Oct)

Saturday agenda-race

I found the following:

1. survivor mud run
2. bulldog 5k dash
3. plantation heat cross country invite
4. avda 5k
5. livelong 5k/half
6. pursuit of honor 5k

I passed on the former since #1, not a 5k and #2, don't know where it is. Skipped #2 due to distance (Naples). Yeah, I know that I travel there but I found races closer, like on my coast. Passed on #3 since there are plenty of standard races. #5 was too expensive. I originally planned on the latter, especially since it's an inaugural but went against my better and paid dearly!

Here's the Clint Eastwood synopsis:

The good: made the dirty dozen, top ten males, cool (low 70), pancake breakfast
The bad: rain, windy, medals (if lucky)
The ugly: award categories reduced (only 1 oa & master). that combined with poor performance (weather & long drive got to me) meant I failed to place

Sunday agenda-race

Not as many choices, therefore maybe I wont screw up:

a. livelong ride (metric century, half metric & 10.2)
b. shark shuffle 5k
c. tradewinds du/tri
d. parkland dash

Pass on the former (ride). The rest, I like. I usually miss b. to do c., but decided on the latter because I never did it before.

Here's another Clint Eastwood synopsis:

The good: made the bakers dozen, no rain, got last slot in my age group, 5k & 10k
The bad: windy, medals (if lucky)
The ugly: only 1 master. worse performance (weather & long drive must've got to me again), post race refreshment (basically bagels & cut bananas only)
