Orlando Corporate 5K

This was my 7th year as our company's team captain for the Corporate 5K and the 2012 group was awesome.  We had a record 30 people participate, almost half the office, and picked up a 2nd in Male, a 2nd in Female and a 4th in Mixed in our industry class, Accounting.  Almost 14,000 people ran, making for a very jammed race course.  The event was in downtown Orlando and was only 4 blocks from our office.  I turned in a mediocre 26:59, having started way back and spending nearly 2 miles breaking free of the crowds.  Our 2 standouts were Chris Louthan with a 19:55 and Christina Vega with a 25:06.  Several others, Brett Finley and Nicholas Lucas finished under 22:00.

Easter sunrise @ Lucky's Lake


This Easter morning was the 2nd Annual Easter Service/Swim/Pancake breakfast at Lucky's Lake. Last year 175 people showed up; this year was over 200! Perfect weather and a perfect time was had by all. I tried out the new Seminole County Triathletes kit for the swim.  I did 2 of the one kilometer crossings to start the season right. Pancakes were great too!
