Final weekend of black history month

Final weekend of black history month.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I considered for the last Saturday of the month:

1. gasparilla
2. sistrunk 5k
3.healthy heart 5k/10k
4. run for the city 5k
5. weston christian 5k
6. Miami walk like MADD
7. heart health walk
8. women in distress 5k

There is large selection for this day. You can automatically rule out the former since there are enough local events. I decided on one with a safety net (finisher medal)- #2. Clint time:

The good: podium (top age), finisher medal, start time
The bad: humidity increased rapidly
The ugly: travel to race

Afterwards, I paid a visit to the latter. I witnessed 3 from runners depot collect overall awards: 1st female (and PR), Emily, 2nd male-curt, 3rd male-carlos. Also, linda completed the 5k.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here's what I considered for the last Sunday of the month:

1. central park marathon
2. gasparilla
3. Florida brain cancer 5k
4. tour de broward
5. loco rio 8k
6. surfside 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL). I once again pass on the 2nd. I chose the latter (closest in proximity).

Glass time: half-

Full: beat last year's time
Empty: no finisher medal, 2 loop course in sand (i knew), lost 3 pl by 1 second in failed sprint

I went from hero to zero in an instant! I hope to turn this around immediately!

President's day weekend

President's day weekend is here!

saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I found for this day:

1. riverbend 5k
2. toga run 5k
3. ft lauderdale 5k

double header

sunday agenda-race?

1. 13.1 wilmington
2. wellington color fest 5k
3. A1A marathon/half/6k

monday agenda-President's day

Holiday for many but not for me. The state doesnt recognize President's day.

Pre valentine's day weekend

Pre valentine's day weekend is here! That day is on this coming Tuesday, and sadly, I will be alone.

saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for this day:

1. 26.2 with Donna
2. race for faith 5k
3. barrier free 5k
4. cca 5k
5. family values 5k
6. cooper city 5k
7. out run hunger

With enough races in the tri-county area, you can automatically rule out the former. I decided on #4 and 5 to complete a double header.

Event 1-cca 5k

I started off great for the first mile (7:10) but rapidly diminished for the next two miles. After I completed this race, I had to leave quickly to get to the next, which means I left without knowing if I even placed.

Event 2-family values 5k

This was a free fun run. The previous event had a decent after party but I couldn't partake in that to get to this one. Check this out Clint style:

The good: free, long sleeve tech shirt, unique bib #, finisher medal, timing, decent after party
The bad: late start (good for me to do as 2nd event), 3 loop course with a sharp turn around
The ugly: only 1 oa male and female

This event was better than many I paid for; a must repeat. Naturally, I mostly walked this one since there was no chance of getting an award.

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for this day:

1. I care, I cure, I run 5k
2. emb(race) 5k
3. run through central park 5k

This was a no-brainer. I sacrificed the first 2, in which maybe I could place for the latter because it is put on by the company that sponsors me-runners depot. I already knew I wouldn't place since it is a RRCA 5k championship race, so I came out merely to represent.

Check this out Eastwood style:

The good: long sleeve tech shirt, timing, decent after party, early start, trophies if you place, time
The bad: no finisher medals, time
The ugly: didn't place

In conclusion:

I completed 3 events this weekend, much like the good old days!

Super bowl weekend

Super bowl weekend is here! I can always remember which one it is (this is LI (51) because it matches my age on my birthday! It's the Atlanta falcons 0-1) vs the new England patriots (4-2); that's the current superbowl performances.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here's what I considered for the day prior:

1. death valley marathon/half
2. pine jog 5k
3. run to the rescue 5k
4. world cancer day 5k
5. walk for wishes 5k
6. sunsmart 5k
7. I'm possible 1,2,3
8. alumni 5k

You can automatically rule out the former (out of FL); also, the name is intimidating. I picked the latter (closest in proximity); also, it is been there, done that. Based on the aforementioned, plus the online description, it would be normal age groups with finisher medals. I found out the hard way, they lied. No finisher medals and ten year groups, therefore I left as I came- with no hardware. Note: if normal, it would have been 3rd in my group.

Sunday agenda-race?

1. Florida marathon
2. butterfly run
3. tby 5k
4. super bowl 5k/10k
5. eagle 5k

With enough local races, I passed on the former. I wanted to do the latter (closest in proximity) but decided on #4. Clint synopsis time:

The good: podium, 1st age (normal), decent start time and weather
The bad: course not totally flat, turn around, medals (no trophies)
The ugly: didn't break 23, no finisher medals

This super Sunday, I went from zero (Saturday) to hero (Sunday).
