    When You're Late to the Party, Run!

    I ran this past weekend in the Aces Wild Series Race, Ace of Diamonds, with an official time of 1 hour.  Funny story; really.

    I woke up on Sunday at 5:30AM and drove down to Clearwater and got lost.  The directions I downloaded off of Google was incomplete and didn't really help identify exactly how to get to the park where the race would be held.  I asked for directions and the locals didn't even know what park I was talking about or the major road it was on.  Once I found the park, I thought I was cutting it close and that the race would be starting at 8AM.

    I started jogging toward a crosswalk where everyone was crossing over.  It looked to me as the runners on the crosswalk were getting ready for the start of the race and so I followed suit.  As I crossed the crosswalk I soon found that the race had already begun and that I had missed the start of the race by 20 minutes.  I started running the race by myself and had to find the route; I ran more than the course and only logged about 2.5 miles on my Nike Sportband.

    Later that night, due to my geographic adventure in Clearwater, I ran my own 5K and logged my time at 22:49.

    I now know how to get to that park again for the next couple of races.

    I love to learn about startups, new business ideas, marketing, and developing technologies. And I also enjoy running.

    I've been a .NET developer for a long time and decided to use my skills to build some companies and some pretty sweet services.
