Mid month crisis (Nov)

Mid month crisis (Nov) arrived yesterday. Pray for me that things turn for the better.

Saturday agenda-race!

Here's my selection for today:

1. Spartan race MA
2. super hero scramble
3. the swamp buggy mud blast (obstacle)
4. breathe deep
5. fantasy of lights 5k
6. the ultimate titan challenge (obstacle)
7. miracle run

You can automatically rule out the first (out of FL). With enough standard races, remove 2,3 & 6. I had a chance for a double header (#5 is a night race) but opted out considering my current struggles. Out of the remaining, I elected closest in proximity, the latter.

Since theres not much to write home about, let's go Clint Eastwood style:

The good: got a pr, top master, top 5
The bad: windy & hot and humid, windy course, generic medal
The ugly: pr doesn't count (2.4 m), no master title given (won ag is good), late start (8:30)

Sunday agenda-race!

1. rnr San Antonio
2. big sur half
3. st Augustine half/10k/5k
4. zmotion 5k
5. burn 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The next was too far. I selected the latter but found out later why it became a high quality (fast) race; #4 was cancelled.

Also not much to write home about, but I'll with the glass concept:

Half full: course was correct (accurate time), just made the podium (3 ag), decent medal, beat all women, loop course
Half empty: course was correct (no pr), not in dirty dozen, no master titles, late start (8 am), hot & humid + windier, time
