Christmas in july weekend

Christmas in july weekend is here! It is also the final weekend of the month.

Saturday agenda-race?

Merry Christmas in july! Don't seem like that when it comes to racing as there is largely a drought.

Here is what I found for this day:

1. beat the heat 5k
2. eagle lakes 5k
3. Hemmingway days sunset run

The latter is a night race that is very far (key west), so I passed on it. Normally, I would have done one of the remaining but I decided to focus my efforts toward the last day of the month. I did light to moderate training, mostly skating.

Sunday agenda-race?

1. biggest loser half VT
2. san Francisco marathon
3. huntingtons disease tri

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). That means the latter is the only choice but that would require a swimmer; praise the Lord, I got one (tommy). Not ideal weather for the bike (wind and some rain).

The good: we won the male sprint relay
The bad: weather, I had to do double duty
The ugly: relay results never posted on site, ticket results had his name only + no splits w averages

The numbers prove I didn't have my best day but on the other hand, of all teams that competed in the sprint:

3. we had the 3rd fastest overall time
2. I had the 2nd best bike time
1. I was the fastest runner

This was a good way to close out the month. Ill take it as a Christmas gift from the almighty.
