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).
