MOVIES & ENTERTAINMENT & SHeeT! / Re: penn and teller: fool us

this is an incredible act, but also i've watched his reaction at the end more than i've watched the routine. i just teared up watching it for the third time this morning. 

the world sucks so much right now and watching someone be so overcome with happiness and pride that they weep openly in front of millions of people...it feeds my soul. penn and teller fool us is undefeated, even when penn makes awkward jokes about his own cultural insensitivity. so much joy, so much kindness and generosity.

the recent one by lea kyle is similarly amazing.

yeah i was disappointed, too. but like AD said afterward, as a star, you want to be given the chance to take shots like that, they're what define your legacy as a player. respect to him for draining it and making it look easy.

watching him and jokic go back and forth for the last couple minutes of the game was so fun. i hope denver gets a couple of wins just to prolong the series.

- run 15.02 km in 1:16:37
nice and easy, strong negative split for a 5:06 average pace. didn't note T+DI but it was similar to yesterday, maybe a few degrees warmer.

also walked about 7 km with my parents this morning, through a park by the capitol, by the supreme court to see the impromptu memorial to ruth bader ginsburg (many people down there), and then to see the new eisenhower memorial.

mondo duplantis breaks 26-year-old outdoor pole vault world record. he'd already set the indoor world record (twice) earlier this year.

rained hard on thursday and decided not to make it up yesterday.

today

- tennis with dad x ~45 mins
started out loose and good and then he tightened up a bit as we went along.

- warm up x 1 km; 500m intervals in [1:59, 1:57, 1:55, 1:55, 1:53, 1:53] w/300m running rest; cool down x 1 km
too easy, which is a good sign i think. had to pee super bad the whole time.

T+DI 100 (!!!!!!!!!). perfect fall day.

- warm up x 1 km; 1.5 km race pace tempo in [5:41, 5:33, 5:40] w/ 3 mins walking rest; cool down x 1 km
T+DI 130. was a little apprehensive about this going in. it was a bit challenging but didn't wreck me or push me that hard, which is a good sign i think. it's good to get a feel for what 18:59 feels like step by step. the second interval was a little fast, more like ~18:32 pace. first and last were on the money.

- stretch

i don't think i'm in sub-19 shape. but gonna lower volume and up intensity a bit for the next two weeks to get more practice at race pace. then taper for a few days so i can time trial right before i leave on my trip. worse comes to worst i blow the time trial and have a little break before getting back on the horse.

yeah that's sensible. i think i'll prioritize the 5k time trial, though, it's the one i actually care about. that's soon, though, so i'll have to lay out a little plan for the next few weeks.

also: turned in my master's thesis. pending my final grades, i'm done with grad school. :almostascoolasnyancat:

edit: and also, now that i think about it, they froze our grades when the lockdown started. so i'm pretty sure i will be graduating with distinction regardless of how i do on my thesis. 

:highfive:
