Daylight savings weekend

Daylight savings weekend is upon us! Luckily, we fall back, giving an extra hour of sleep!

Saturday agenda-race?

Not much for the first Saturday of the month:

1. Spartan race TX, WI
2. 5k race for awareness

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). Can you guess which one I did?

Nowadays, it is rare to get a race that offers awards for walking; that is a plus. The minus was that both the run & walk only offered awards to the top 3 overall. Now its time for the clint synopsis:

The good: overall racewalker, weather
The bad: start time, generic medals
The ugly: cross country course, only 3 overall

This was my first ever cross country racewalk.

Sunday agenda-race!

This was a great day for external conditions sans the wind; cool with no humidity nor rain.

Heres what I found for the first Sunday of the month:

1. Spartan race TX
2. NYC marathon
3. 6 flags great adventure
4. sun capital half/5k
5. purple stride 5k
6. 5k park fest
7. Miami shores 5k
8. miracle walk and 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 3 (out of FL). I like #4 but been there, done that, along with the latter. Between the 2 remaining races that I don't remember ever doing, I picked the closest in proximity (#7).

The good: cold, 1 ag, top ten
The bad: wind, time
The ugly: 2 loop course (not announced), beat by 2 women, needed 2 jump car after race.
