Post hurricane Irma

Post hurricane Irma; the aftermath! The most damage occurred where the eye hit, cudjoe key. However, there was widespread damage all over the state as it went north, first continuing on the west side (marco island, naples), through central (tampa, near Orlando) and past north florida, near the capital into Georgia and beyond. As of this post, still are large percentage of florida out of power. Of course, this affects the race scene. A rare Thursday night 5k (sprint and sip) was postponed.

Saturday agenda-race?

1. red sox fenway park marathon
2. air force marathon
3. marine corps half
4. mr ft Desoto du/tri
5. friends of the poor 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 3 (out of FL). The remaining were postponed, therefore, all I could do is train.

Sunday agenda-race?

1. navy-air force half
2. rnr PA half
3. the next step is the cure 5k
4. optime 5k
5. golden beach 5k
6. bad ass trail race 5k/10k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). The rest were either postponed, or cancelled, except the latter, which I found out after the fact, was still on. I went to #5, and found out the hard way it too was cancelled, however, without notice.

Well, since I went all the way up there, I intended to 'run' and did such as training. However, not at golden beach but rather, Aventura. The 5k went well.

Conclusion:

The obvious, no races!
