Final transition weekend (2013)

Final transition weekend (2013). This is truly that weekend as it sits between thanksgiving, goes through Hanukkah and Christmas, despite the obvious.

Saturday agenda-race!

Here's what I have on my slate for the final Saturday of the month:

1. run for the arts 5k
2. great amazing race (adventure)
3. thanksgiving tri/du
4. hogs breath 5k

This was a no brainer for me; #3. Question is, solo or relay. If I did the tri, relay is the only option (still don't swim). However, the du, I have a choice. I decided to team up once again with Emily, one of our newest editions to the RD racing team.

Except for the wind, the weather was nice (60's). To make a long story short, we did as last time-won! Let's employ the Clint Eastwood synopsis once again:

The good: we improved our overall position from last time, she got PR runs
The bad: windy
The ugly: sub 21 on bike (struggle)

This also officially ends the hurricane season (not the team)!

Sunday agenda-race!

Here's what I have on my slate for the first Sunday of the month:

1. Seattle marathon
2. space coast marathon
3. jcc Hanukkah 5k
4. irun 5k/10k

Amazingly, I found 2 Miami events, so eliminate the first 2. Question now is which one to do? Since I did the latter last year, I opted for the remaining.

Definitely I want to do this Clint Eastwood style:

The good: same overall position as the team yesterday (12), made podium, under 21
The bad: medals, started late (past 7:30), post race=bagels & water, sm Gatorade, all other meals=$
The ugly: actually won my age group but given 2nd since only 1 overall & no master, only top 2 in ag
