Under the weather.

Under the weather. Besides heat and humidity, there's been a lot of rain. Unfortunately, it's me that feels under the weather as of last night.

Saturday agenda-race?

The following was under consideration:

1. Spartan race WA
2. super hero scramble OH
3. siesta beach du/tri
4. logger head tri
5. trail run 5k/10k/half

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The latter was closet in proximity and the remaining, the furthest. Of those 3, I like the du but had to decline due to my internal condition. The drive would be too long and what I needed most would be lacking-rest (and sleep).  #4 would require a swimmer; that failed. While the latter is do-able, it would be additional cost with little or no chance to podium (top 3 only), especially since I am not near my best and subnormal terrain. Since I am long overdue for a long run, today was the day! I was under the weather (internally, not externally) so therefore posted my slowest training pace thus far this year, but on the bright side, the longest, non race distance; supposedly, I was running!

Saturday agenda-race?

Most certainly a racing drought this day:

1. Spartan race WA
2. rnr marathon PA

You can automatically rule out racing since all are out of FL. Whenever the ground is wet, I cant skate safely, so I have been deprived of this discipline for the longest. Fortunately, no rain in my area so I pulled out my skates and rolled a dozen miles. With no wind, I improved slightly from last time.

Monday agenda-rnr marathon in Dublin, Ireland.

a rare weekday race that I have to miss since it's out of the USA. However, whenever I win the powerball...
