Pre veteran's day/full moon weekend

Pre veteran's day/full moon weekend is upon us!

Friday agenda-Waterford 5k

It is a rare weekday race but I had to pass on it due to the following:

1. bad history-got ripped off a position at time of awards ceremony (never posted as called)
2. bad categories-only top overall then fall to age
3. racewalk was eliminated
4. time of race- I cant get from near zoo to that location, couldn't take any time off work
5. external conditions-parking, usually hot weather

Saturday agenda-race!

I found a good number of events for today:

1. Spartan race MS
2. biggest loser off road
3. rnr savannah marathon and half
4. Disney wine and dine half
5. walk to cure arthritis
6. sallarulos race 4 champs
7. 5k walk/run for hunger
8. light the night walk
9. steps for sos 5k
10 key Biscayne lighthouse run 5/10
11. olde naples 5k
12. key largo bridge run 5/10/half
13. Miami wild 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 3 (out of FL). I pass on #5 and 8 (night event) since they are not really races (no awards). I actually had the chance to do a double header (and did so back in the day) since #4 is a night race but now I wont follow up another half with barely 6 hours between since I am no spring chicken. This time I went with closest in proximity and chose the latter.

I am going to jump right into the clint eastwood synopsis:

The good: top age (actually top master), top ten
The bad: start time, late, hot & humid, generic medal
The ugly: no overall, no master, strange age categories (worst being 51+)

Sunday agenda-race?

Not so many events this day:

1. 6 flags discovery 5k
2. 13.1 marathon/5k
3. zoe loren make a difference 5k
4. Miami man tri/du

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). Without a swimmer, I passed on the latter tri. Since I need to do more distance training, I chose #2. I accomplished my goal to break 2 hours despite the delay waiting for the train and weather.

I am going to use the clint eastwood synopsis:

The good: completed half within self imposed time limit. heavy finishers medal
The bad: course, generic medal
The ugly: weather (wet & humid), no award, train delay
