Jingle bell weekend II

Jingle bell weekend II has arrived. Prior to the weekend, on hump day evening, there was the coral springs holiday mile. I couldn't make that due to the distance and start time; besides, I don't measure up to the times required to place these days.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I selected for this day:

1. Christmas Santa stroll 5k
2. delray beach jingle bell jog
3. its a wonderful run 5k
4. jingle bell jog (orig) 5k

When I was a spring chicken, I would've done the former as race #2, since it's a night race, despite the travel, to make a double header, but not! I cant hang with the latter; it is a high quality, high quantity event. I picked the next closest in proximity, #3. Clint time:

The good: podium, decent time under conditions
The bad: late start, no finisher medal, 3 age (I like to win)
The ugly: still sick, windy, some humidity

Sunday agenda-race?

1. Christmas sprint du/tri
2. wellington jingle bell run
3. lace 'em up on the levee 5k/10k
4. ft lauderdale jingle bell jog
5. Miami jingle bell jog

Although the furthest, I like the former but since still sick, I considered the rest (on the same coast). I went to the latter (closest in proximity) but the entry was exorbitant, so I ended up doing a training jog with Jeff Meyer. It was my first on the new course, which I didn't like. The ground was wet from previous rain.
