Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It seems you can find some kind of 'turkey' trot in just about every town; definitely cant list them all. Here's a list of those I considered for today:

1. habitat for humanity turkey run
2. Thanksgiving day 5k run
3. the gobbler 5k
4. run 4 the pies
5. jcc turkey trot
6. tamarac  turkey trot
7. ft lauderdale  turkey trot
8. baptist  turkey trot 5k/10k

The latter would make the most sense (closest in proximity) but I decided to travel to the west coast of FL to race on thanksgiving for the first time ever, ruling out all but the first 3. The former was closest in proximity to where I was staying but I chose the other because it was an inaugural.

Time for the Clint Eastwood synopsis:

The good: podium, finishers medal, weather (- wind)
The bad: wind, 2 loop course
The ugly: internal conditions, age group awards (bag), my bad time wasn't even posted, robbing me of award recognition & photo op.

This was a refreshing change to the norm, so look out next year!
