Post 911 weekend

Post 911 weekend is upon us! More races dedicated to the plight were held.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I could find on this day:

1. Spartan race CA
2. biggest loser offroad CA
3. jeff annas firefighter 5k
4. tunnels to towers 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The latter was closest in proximity but im not to fond of the course. In hindsight, I heard it was raining bad. Once again, I didn't fair well here. Check it out clint eastwood style:

The good: finisher medal, dry, not as hot (cloudy)
The bad: the drive, humidity, not in top ten
The ugly: didn't place (4 ag), time

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I could find on this day:

1. rnr half PA
2. paradise coast int du/tri/10k
3. trilife half iron tri
4. lung cancer 5k
5. FD 5k
6. trilogy bonus du/tri

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). With 3 local events, scratch the next 2. The latter was closest in proximity, but I only felt like running. Both were inaugural races, so I chose the course I least get to run on, #5.

This was the race for redemption but only 1 problem- I woke up with an injury! By the grace of God, I was able to nearly match my time of yesterday in a minor league race. I began not even in the top ten, worked up to third overall by mile 1 and held for a mile before I was passed by some 'kid'. I hung on to the 4th slot in the final mile and blessed with the overall master victory. Runner's depot did well as both overall male (chris) and female (Emily) were taken and we all got plaques. The rest were medals (Louis took his age cat by storm) & co-owner chuck, 3rd.
