Jacksonville USO Armed Forces Half 2018

Posted on October 21, 2018July 24, 2019
Sometimes a plan just comes together. I was happy as a pig in shit to be able to do a race with Karen, especially what would turn out to be her 200th half, so we headed up Florida’s east coast on a road trip to Jacksonville. At first I was a little worried we might have entered a crappy race since it was going to be a hot day and it had sounded like the aid stations might be sparse. Just in case I brought a camelbak with ice water and shared it with my Number 2. In fact it was well supported and took us through a city flush with Oaks and Azaleas from TIAA Bank Field across the river and back for an out and back mostly along riverside where I ran with the Jax Frontrunners earlier in the year. Once back we received a medal and pint glass and we were pooped, so back to Palm Beach County to return my companion and head up to palm coast for Jack’s Trail 50k the next day.
I wanted to get coffee for the whole race thanks to this sign. I mean real coffee. The kind with crema.

This just spoke to me.
Hi doggie! No ones talking to you dog guy…
Warm sunny day in Jacksonville.
Sure judging outwardly you might think “crass” or “mean” but once you really get to know her she grows on you, like a fungus.
Amber Bock. I guess it’s as close to a dark beer as I’m going to get post race. I didn’t get a shirt so no picture of that and I have yet to find my bib.
