Memorial day weekend

Memorial day weekend is upon us! While most are out partying or at beach, don't forget that you are able to do that through the sacrifice of those soldiers who paid the ultimate price.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for today:

1. mosquito 10k
2. soldier rush obstacle 5k
3. down 2 earth cross country 5k

Can you believe I didn't race? Its true. The former was on the west coast where there's brush fire. I am having enough trouble with standard races so forget about one with obstacles. The latter is similar to an upcoming race, so its better I rest for that. I pulled out my inlines for the first time since ..??

Sunday agenda-race!

1. Ottawa marathon
2. ives 5k
3. Miami man speedway edition

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL/US). I am not ready for another half iron duathlon and without a swimmer, I pass on the latter. Guess what I did?

This is the upcoming cross country race. Last year was 2 loops, this year improved to only 1. It got to be hot and humid. By the grace of God, I won my age group and got a nice trophy despite being misdirected, losing some time.

Monday agenda-race!

Happy memorial day! While there are plenty of events held this day, I only considered the following:

1. judicata 5k
2. pineapple 5k
3. memorial day classic 5k
4. Weston memorial day 5k

I passed on the former since it's located far on the west side of FL. The next was far but on same coast. I usually do the latter but chose the remaining.

Back to the clint eastwood synopsis:

The good: podium, finisher pie
The bad: heat, humidity, wind, no finisher medal, 2 sharp turnarounds
The ugly: barely made the podium (3 ag), time
