id just like to point out that, had i not been forced to slow down in this race, i wouldn't have witnessed the "blind wheelchair racer", who finished the entire half marathon with a guide (on bike) behind her, telling her small adjustments such as: "slight left", "stay straight" etc.

they passed me at mile 11 or so.. and my jaw literally dropped once i realized what was going on.

that's absolutely incredible. props to that lady (the wheelchair racer) and the guide.

i've never seen a "blind" athlete before.. always respect it so much when I see it on tv. i've only seen blind runners before, running with guides, and some of them can really fly.. it's remarkable.

yesterday:

abort-but-finished another race.

3 out of the last 3 races have been wrecked.


body felt really banged up afterwards.

post-race shower was insanely painful (nip/chafe wreckage).

diet:
- ate light
- body felt ok pre-race. 5 hours sleep. sacral spine achy.

- 6th OA @ 10km (with 4 pull-back miles)
- 42nd OA at the end
- lol.

left hamstring/glute/low back tweaked but not as bad as in the 5k 2 weeks ago, so some healing progress at least.
.
mile 1 was actually pretty decent. then stuff slowly started tightening up until i had to pull back at mile 3 or so. then around mile 9 had to shut it way down.
.
hard for me to actually care about my small injuries when this is a race for people battling cancer.
.
all good.







felt really good the first mile.. a miracle looked like a possibility.

a few really fast people showed up. one of them pulled his hamstring in the first quarter mile, sucks. watched him start falling apart and then shut it down and go to the ground and start stretching - DNF. I know the guy he's cool.

Tacko picking up some lame fouls. He needs to relax. UCF is a different team with him in there, understandably. 7'6 wtf.

yeah this is some weak shit. It appears my top speed has suffered the least but my sprint repeatability is almost gone

it might come back quick though, ie if it's actually already there but just needs to be expressed a bit.

cranked up the rope speed kinda hard. lots of really fast blocks in there. so fast that i'd hope i'd mess up, but didn't, and just kept going. was funny.
