Armed forces weekend

Armed forces weekend is here!

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what I considered for today:

1. singer island du/tri
2. keiser blue line 5k
3. save the tiger 5k
4. hugs for hope 5k
5. Miami cancer 5k
6. tour of gables 5k
7. keys 100

The latter was closest in proximity while the former was the furthest. I avoided the former because of the bridge (dangerous bike turn around). I passed on the latter because I don't have a team nor will I run that long, especially in this heat. So I picked #2 because I never did it before. clint synopsis time:

The good: 1 age, top ten, early start (7),finisher medal, trophy
The bad: I started 2nd oa to a girl, got past by another lady, then dropped from top male to 4th by the finish
The ugly: humidity and heat!

Sunday agenda-race?

Here is what I found for this day:

1. rylee's dog run
2. mar-jcc skate, scoot and run 5k

The former (broward) was the furthest, so the latter (dade) was the closest.Guess what I did? This event was very interesting. At 7:30, the skate and scoot begins; at 8, 5k (timed run and walk) while the untimed mile walk turns around earlier. Naturally, I was the only to be registered in both and complete them! eastwood time:

The good: 1 age (5k run), 3 age (skate), top ten in both, finisher medal
The bad: skate category (50-99), although age groups, no award ceremony nor awards (as advertised), start times
The ugly: humidity and heat!

PS

I was the only one wearing inlines. The skate was with boards (I don't have one) and the scoot were those terrible scooters.
