mid month crisis (last of summer)

mid month crisis (last of summer). I cant wait till winter; maybe ill run better in the cooler weather. A whole bunch of activity leading up to and including this weekend. Wednesday marked a dozen years since terrorist attack on America. Yesterday was Friday, the 13th (for all those superstitious). I am not normally, but that seemed to continue onto today (read below), which means I need to observe yom kippur, just like the Jewish.

Saturday agenda-race!

This is what I have on my schedule today:

1. color me rad 5k IN, CA
2. remember the fallen 5k
3. Jeff Anna's memorial 5k
4. freedom run 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). The next was not in the tri county area, so I picked the one I never did from the remaining (the latter, been there, done that).

Since I went down much like his adversaries, time for the Clint Eastwood synopsis:

The good: got hardware (albeit a finisher medal) for first time in weeks
The bad: time, hot & humid, parking
The ugly: did not place (missed on trophy), 3 losses in a row, personal worst losing streak

Sunday agenda-race!

A bit more to do this day, the way I like it:

1. rnr marathon PA
2. Spartan race UK
3. club med tri
4. coral springs 5k
5. optime 5k
6. trilogy bonus round
7. bayfront tri
8. zoo run 5k

 You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). Without a swimmer, take out the tri's, however 6 was possible as a du. since no series awards were given last year nor for this year, I pass. I planned on the latter, but without sufficient notice, it was sold out plus no race day sign up allowed. Among the remaining, I took the closest in proximity. To my dismay, it turned out to be a major league race, so I copy and paste (dejavu) with modifications:

The good: got hardware (albeit a finisher medal) for 2nd time in weeks
The bad: time, hot & humid, parking
The ugly: did not place (missed on medal), 4 losses in a row, personal worst losing streak

This travesty must end next week, right before the fall equinox!
