Another great weekend start for my wife Tiffany and me as we participated in the Central Florida Navy League's 14th Annual Wounded Warfighter Lone Sailor 5K /10K event this morning.

This was the sixth time we have participated in this event and it's one of our favorites.

It's a very patriotic vibe and the medals are always amazing.

There were only 304 participants this year with 254 finishers or at least it felt that way. Tiffa agreed with me. Not sure if the budget had taken a hit, but overall it still is one of the nicest atmospheres to be around and the run itself is in Baldwin Park, which is one of my favorite parks in Central Florida.

I always seem to luck out and get a wonderful photo of the skyline as the morning is setting in. We were there when it was pitch dark, since we had to get our bib and of course get a good parking spot.

I was relatively happy with my results, as I came in 69th overall out of the 254 finishers and 43rd for males as well as #1 in my age group for males, so not a bad run for me. Tiffany power walked the whole thing as she is still fighting through some injuries and getting over a bad cold.

I cover more about the run and pictures of the medals in my Actifit post:

That's awesome! Congratulations to both of you. Great cause. I went to Navy Boot Camp at NTC Orlando. One of my takeaways from that? It is cold at 4 in the Morning in January in Orlando. LOL We were standing outside the chow hall waiting for breakfast. I don't even stand in line for really good food.

Congratulations! I hope that these medals are made of pure chocolate and that you were able to get the most out of this competition by eating a chocolate bar :)

Thanks Ronin.

No chocolate in the medal, but we did end up having a nice lunch. 👍

Apparently the organizers are too greedy, since they didn’t take care of the necessary carbohydrates that you have to replenish after a run :)

They had the usual bananas, gatorade, water, protein bars and a few other.

I usually go straight for the bananas and the water. My safest bet.

I see that in the competition there is an incomplete Jamaican dita, lol, it would be complete if there was a grill at the finish line on which the Jerk chickens would blush, although this is the wrong name for the chicken that is cooked today in Jamaica, before, Jerk was called the chicken that was cured in spices in the sun, ah, bananas, then an integral part of Jamaica, lol, I hope that you did not run across the channel to Jamaica? :)
