Super bowl weekend


Super bowl weekend is upon us! It is also a transition weekend.

Saturday agenda-race!

Here is what I found for the last day of January:

1. Melbourne 8k/5k
2. race for the cure
3. Hoofin it for hope 5k
4. black light run

I passed on the former since there are enough local races. I could've done the latter for a double but it is not a race (fun only), so good bye to that. Neither is the second unless you are fast like Ronnie; strike that one, leaving the remaining.

It was an inaugural and a rare one in homestead. In all actuality, it seemed more like the Redlands and was at a winery. The course was straight forward and a bit boring but was different. Clint eastwood break down:

The good: top ten and podium, cold weather
The bad: some wind, generic medal, 8 am start
The ugly: entry fee, parking (grass/dirt), bathroom closed 20 till start

Sunday agenda-race!

Here is what I found for the first day of February:

1. Melbourne marathon/half
2. butterfly 5k
3. bay harbor island 5k

I passed on the former since there are enough local races. As for the remaining, I been to both, therefore, I pick the latter (closest in proximity).

The good: top ten and podium, cool weather
The bad: generic medal, 8 am start, very windy, lost on master, beat by a fast girl
The ugly: very windy, course (grated bridge), incorrect time (didn't match clock)

Ironically, I got the same overall position (6) on both days and same podium slot (first age).
