Mid month crisis (Dec)

Mid month crisis (Dec) is this weekend. Yesterday was Friday, the 13th but the bad luck began this morning; read on!

Saturday agenda-race!

These are the following events considered for today:

1. Spartan race TX
2. classics by the sea 5k/10k
3. river run 5k
4. n creek explorer 5k
5. ymca jingle bell run
6. trail run half/10k/5k
7. live ultimate half/quarter marathon/10k/5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). Naturally, I picked the latter because it was closest in proximity. The race ap stated that the 5k starts at 8 am. After spending more time looking for parking than it took to get to the area (over an hour), I found out it was moved a half hour sooner, therefore I didn't get to participate; bad luck from ayer! I heard complaints about confusing course and I felt the high winds.

Due to the aforementioned, my double header attempt was spoiled. To add insult to injury, due to lack of top 3 overall, I got bumped off the podium at event #4; No hardware today! :(

Sunday agenda-race!

These are the following events considered for this day:

1. Spartan race TX
2. last chance du
3. jingle bell run
4. its a wonderful run
5. tyler Goldberg sunset run

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). God gave me another double header attempt, ruling out the former. I planned on the du but that fell through. The Lord allowed me the other double header attempt, so #3 is out. Both are return events.

Event 1-its a wonderful run

Clint Eastwood synopsis time:

The good: on the podium and dirty dozen
The bad: time, weather (hot, humid, wind)
The ugly: time, 2nd

Event 2-Tyler Goldberg sunset run

Clint Eastwood synopsis time again:

The good: on the podium and top ten & ag
The bad: weather (hot, humid, wind), course (hills)
The ugly: worst time of weekend.
